We didn't have any major Memorial Day plans this year. Honestly, it's the only weekend we've had free in a long time, and the only one we'll have in awhile. It's felt kind of good to get some things done around the house and relax a bit. We did get together with friends on Friday night. And we went out to my parents for a little cookout on Sunday. It's been really nice. Today we celebrated Memorial Day by going to Pinelawn Memorial Park for their service. Besides a number of our Oak Park years when the Memorial Day weekend was filled with parades and swimming pools, we've gone to Pinelawn -- a cemetery that has been in the family for four generations and that my sister now operates. It's a day I absolutely could not wait for when I was younger. And it's definitely fun watching the kids all run around feeling the same way. The service is always really nice, and makes you stop and reflect on what the day really means. It's humbling to be surrounded by so many people who serve or have served in the military, as well as their families, and we are always honored to be a part of it.
