Flower Friday
And Thoughts on Memorial Day
Many Americans will be heading out to the beaches and campgrounds this weekend for the first of many Summer excursions for fun and frolic. This particular three-day opportunity is in honor of the 1.19 million men and women who gave their lives in service to the United States.
With such a massive number represented, more than likely you have someone you know, whether family or friend, who gave unto death.
First, I share these flowers with you as an opportunity to take a breath and enjoy the beauty wherever you go.
Second, I share them as a reminder that we are grateful for that sacrifice.
Finally, may our country never forget.
🚂 On the Road (Railroad, that is) Again!
Yep, you read that right.
We are finishing up our time here in Iowa and about to hop on the Amtrak for our 10-stop railroad adventure across the U.S. courtesy of our USA Rail Pass.
We are super excited about this!
We’ve never gone cross country on the train; well, not in America anyway. So this is going to be quite the trip, seeing all the new areas only available by rail. And we’ll be sleeping on the train too!
We look forward to sharing the ins and outs of this part of our American Summer Tour 2025, so stay tuned!
Have the most beautiful weekend 💖
Oh I love that you are crossing the US by train! I’ve always wanted to do that after seeing an old movie called After The Thin Man. William Powell and Myrna Loy (as Nick and Nora Charles) travel from NY to San Francisco by train and it seems so fabulous. Blessings to you on this Memorial Day weekend! 🚞🇺🇸
