The girls scheming away.

I had to take the pets in for a checkup, so dropped the girls off at my mom's, where her dauchshund attempted to slobber all over the twins. He was thwarted, and started whining, earning him a banishment to the patio.

Sleep is contagious, it seems.

My mom has quite the flower garden in her yard. We stopped at Corti Bros. today and picked up some things to grill for Memorial Day. The holiday weekend is actually not in honor of our Weber, but to remember the fallen servicemen who paid for our current peace and prosperity. We have supped well from the table of freedom, and are grateful for prior sacrifices. One of our life goals is to see the resting place of J's great uncle (grandmother's brother) who shipped out to Italy during WWII, and died there during the fighting at age 22. In that era, many soldiers were buried near where they fell, unlike now, where our dead are brought home quickly.
