Our Red, White and Blue

Our hearts will always be full as we remember and honor those who gave their lives for our country. I can remember these poppies on Memorial Day since I was a very young child.

Please join Sally at Smiling Sally for Blue Monday.

I remember when they used to "sell" these poppies. Happy Blue Monday.

I also remember people selling these poppies outside of department stores, when I was a child.

I believe we were still writing with quill pens.

My favorite blue of all! The blueblood that runs in patriot veins! They are my heroes! :-)

And I remember those poppies well. We always bought them at school and took off on Memorial Day to decorate the graves.

XO,

Sheila :-)

I'm back as you know dear Beverly - have missed keeping up with you but hope to do better once re-settled! It was hard to leave - Devon was the prettiest I've ever seen it.

Hope your holiday weekend is fun - I too am remembering the reason and am grateful to all service people, both past and present.

Good morning Beverly. Happy Memorial Day. I too remember the poppies and I should have posted mine. I do have a great photo of one. I haven't read my email yet but I will. I am posting a few comments today but time is limited. I hear a stirring upstairs and I NEED some coffee.

I love you my dearest friend...Jeanne
