Memorial Day weekends past


On this three-day weekend we've remembered not only Julian Woodall and other fallen veterans and others who served our country, but we also remember busy Memorial Days past for us (not just a year ago). Some 11 years ago we visited Stephanie's relatives in Mason, West Virginia (me for the first time). Five years ago we visited Fort Snelling and a Mississippi River island festival in the Twin Cities. Four years ago we were back in Minnesota, visiting, and then we drove along the river - doing the Grand Concourse route in reverse (where Winona, MN - pictured aobve - was one of our many stops)- and we drove from Macomb to Louisville, where - by holidays/days of the week, I started my current job four years ago this morning. Three years ago Grandma Martha and we finished packing up the Fisherman's Landing apartment and we drove Stephanie, Vincent, Frisco, and their stuff from Bradenton to Louisville. Momentous, busy weekends all.
