   Today is Memorial Day in the USA..It began in 1868 to honor those who had died in the American Civil War & was called Decoration Day..over the years all causalities of war & all veterans were added to those to be honored & was held on May 30th every year..the name was changed to "Memorial Day" in 1967 & moved to the last Monday in May in 1968..from 1961>1965 as a member of my high school I participated in Parades & memorial services in the local cemeteries..& was honored to do so..despite the fact that it meant marching in hot weather in wool West Point style uniforms with high collars..& I tend under such conditions to sweat profusely..but all four of my uncles & my dad were veterans of WWII..but I fear as time has past many people only view it as the first 3 day weekend in the warmer weather..../....because of the area we lived in then & where I live now the weekend was always the time that we would plant our gardens..by that time the chance of a frost were minimal..../....Had the majority of my online day done by just before 12:00 took a walk just before noon & when I got back since I didn't intend to buy anything today sat down to do the daily budget numbers & realized tomorrow would be the day for my run to the bank for my "10 day walking around money" so took the short walk up to the ATM & took care of it today.../....just before taking my shower & taking of the meds had me a nice sit-down in the shade of "ye olde oak tree"..started a draft to "Trollie's  Game Room"..check weather..& sat down to write this post..nothing left to do before I take my rest save a final check-in on my FB groups..a meal & maybe a little TV..ergo.."nite all"....[18:58 UTC-4]..../....
