Memorial Day Weekend: 2011

I cannot believe it has been so long since my last post - life is moving too fast for me.  Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day weekend.  We're out on relaxing Fire Island with friends and their two daughters.  Little Olive is playing "big sister" to the two girls.  Here she is modeling a new dress - for the Memorial Day occasion....and then July 4th, and Flag Day, and Labor Day..... :-)  It will get alot of use.  She picked out the fabric herself!  She's getting so big.....

Memorial Day.....THANK YOU....and to Blog Followers with Shop Picks

Thank you to all the people in the military that protect the United States. Thank you for fighting the wars so we can have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thank you to all the brave men and women who do this selfless job everyday. Thank you to those who gave their lives so ours are safer.

And while it is no where near the scale of the military committment, I want to thank all the bloggers that follow my little chronicle, so below are some Memorial Day items from follower shops. I hope you continue to like what you read - Thank You!
