From the U.S. Armed Forces to The American Police Force and Emergency Personnel, to all who have served and lost their lives. Always in our American hearts with endless gratefulness.

Have a Safe and Peaceful Memorial Day/Weekend everyone.

🐻🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸💝.

AnnCrystal Please Note, do not continue reading the following if you have negativity for Peace Officers. I am not trying to begin a debate. 👇

AnnCrystal While I was helping my mom haul out the extra decorations for our American celebrations (we begin right around Armed Forces day and keep them up until around 4th of July).

My mom raised my brother and I with a high respect for our Americana. Her words are more, “out of all the cultures mixed into your blood, you are Native (Indigenous) and American first and foremost. You disrespect our Land or our Flag, you disrespect yourself.“👇

AnnCrystal Well, we were talking while decorating, about how Gotham City has seemingly swept across our America and how our Peace Officers are in a type of war.

This made me curious. Does America even celebrate our Peace Officers? I know, terrible of me not to already know the answer to this question. 👇

AnnCrystal Research told me there is a Day in January (the 9th) and a Memorial Day (May 15) that then leads into a Week of honor. And Firefighters Day is May 4th.

Since we're in the month of May, I decided to include Peace Officers and all Emergency Personnel in this post here.

Not sure where I heard about this one - I thought it was on here, but don't see any posts about it 🤷‍♀️. Anyway, it's a good lunch/break choice. Relatively entertaining, easy to dip and out of, not so compelling that I have to tote it around to keep reading.

There's a little bit of Coastal-Media-Type-Road-Trips-to-Find-the-Real-America 🙄, but not the worst offender I've ever come across. And it's balanced with lots of pie recipes!

#ItTakesAllKinds #Roadtrip I think it said that they took these signs down in 1963 ,but at its height ,there were 7000 sets in 43 states. Fun car game to look for these on your travels back in the day.Found this little gem ,at the big book sale I went to a few weeks ago . Published in 1965. So six signs spread out a ways , you get a poem!

This had some interesting observations. One long scenario anout no one providing him water was particularly well done. Overall though after the first 8 chapters I grew bored. It seemed to fall into the socio- babble of every thing that‘s wrong in America can be fixed by having front porches. I love a deep porch, but…I am grateful though for the tip that the field in which Frederick Douglas fought for his freedom is still a field we can visit.

Every year I watch this movie and I think about seeing it in the theater in 1983 with my friends Marty and Kathy. And I remember how Marty said, “That was the worst movie I‘ve ever seen. I‘m so glad I never have to see it ever again.” And I laugh and laugh. 😄

Merry Christmas and be sure to drink your Ovaltine!

MaureenMc My 12 year-old watched this movie for the first time this year. She loved it! 😁 5mo
mom2bugnbee My husband is watching it right now - it's his absolute favorite. I used to not like it, but I must admit that it's grown on me in 28 years. ☺ 5mo
CarolynM My favourite Christmas movie. I watched it again this year. I saw it in the cinema with my parents when I was a teenager. It was a bonus extra after another movie (Splash! I think) We laughed until we cried, and were most surprised by how many people left the cinema before the end. There‘s no accounting for taste, I guess🤣 5mo
Amiable @CarolynM Right? That‘s why it makes me laugh —to think that Marty is reminded every single year that he was so wrong about a movie that is now a beloved holiday classic! 😀 5mo

I found the book to be wildly entertaining. The narrator did a good job with it, but some of the sound effects got in the way.
