Memorial Day Weekend Start
It doesn't seem like Memorial Day weekend. It's still cold but we did see the sky brighten a bit. No blue yet but it was exciting. Because of the weather we have no plans. The one cook out scheduled for the weekend was rained out.
We are going to celebrate the weekend by having a memorial to the Memorial Day weekend. When I was young we would go to Rockport or someones house, usually a relative, for a cookout with the Hill side of the family. We always had watermelon. My uncle Allen would normally wear patchwork pants. He was the one person I've ever known to wear them that wasn't homeless or reaking of patchouli oil. I'll hit up Goodwill and try to snag a pair for old times sake.
We'll probably go to the Windham Tractor Parade on Monday like we did last year. All the old tiemahs bring out their antique John Deere's Dee-ahs) and run them down the road. It lasts about 20 minutes but I'm sure I'll need (and could use) an old tractor by the end of it. This is Memorial Day's homage' to farming. The fire department gives everyone a little flag. The kids still have theirs from last year. The vets from Windham, and there are quite a few, march last in the parade and everyone waves their flags and follows them down to down to the high school for a breif ceremony. The kids like the guns.
Another memorial day we took a young Jack and a spastic dog named Angus up to Acadia National Park to camp for the weekend. The average temp was about 35 and the wind blew at about 50 mph off the water for the weekend. It was fun and cool in theory.
This weekend we have NO plans. Just think of what could happen over this memorial day weekend. We'll see how it turns out on Tuesday. Until then find some patchwork pants, go to a parade, turn a fan up really high while spritzing yourself with water and eat watermelon. God Bless America
