Veterans Day (The REAL One)
I am not a fan of holidays being moved to a Monday to recognize them...the REAL Veterans Day is TODAY....not tomorrow (even though it is being observed November 12th. The holiday is REALLY November 11th)

Labor Day 2018
Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties.---- W. L. George
Happy Labor Day to those celebrating!
(to those who aren't, Happy Monday!)
Labor Day in the United States is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, laws and well-being of the country. Wikipedia
In honor of the recent passing of Senator John McCain (whose political views I didn't always agree with, but I admire his courage, his dedication to our country, his way of knowing, saying AND DOING WHAT IS RIGHT, and in honor of all he endured and all he accomplished), I wanted to share this quote that I found on Pinterest.
May he RIP, my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Throwback Thursday: Flag Day
FROM CAT CHAT WITH CAREN AND CODY: Happy Flag Day! Hope you enjoy this "throwback" from 2016!
I found this video on YouTube, the little girl can't carry much of a tune, but I got the BIGGEST kick out of watching her. I think she is just too adorable, BE SURE TO WATCH IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH...she is just too precious!!! She says "cut" a number of times, but the video isn't finished when she says that. If I had a little girl, I would want her to be just like this cutie!!! Oh and check out her KITTY shirt!!

Memorial Day
I long to return to a time when Memorial Day was celebrated on May 30th, a time when Memorial Day was NOT the "official kick-off to summer" in the U.S., a time when it wasn't a reason to consume copious amounts of beer and burgers and frolic with family and friends over the course of a three-day weekend.
Don't get me wrong, I will be enjoying sunshine, family and the sumptuous taste of a char-grilled burger myself, but it is important that I, and all of us who are Americans, stop and REMEMBER what Memorial Day actually IS and why it is commemorated.
Somewhere through the years, many Americans have lost touch of WHAT significant holidays in our history MEAN.
There is nothing "happy" about Memorial Day. Memorial Day is the day in which we REMEMBER the men and women who DIED while serving our country.
Memorial Day has become lost in the ridiculousness that was created when Congress, on June 28, 1968 signed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act which officially took effect on January 1, 1971. This act moved holidays such as Memorial Day, George Washington's birthday (remember him? The "father of our country" whose birthday REALLY IS FEBRUARY 22ND), Labor Day (now celebrated the first Monday in September), and Columbus Day (Columbus Day USED to be on Christopher Columbus's REAL BIRTHDAY, October 12th, but is now celebrated the second Monday of October). The act was officially designed to "increase the number of 3 day weekends for federal employees."
Well, "isn't THAT special?"
Thankfully, July 4, (Independence Day), has remained unscathed.........
So while I, and many of you, are enjoying this time with friends and family, take a moment, STOP and REMEMBER the reason this day exists.
