So, before we get ready to enjoy those tasty Memorial Day recipes, let's take some time to remember the real meaning of the holiday by reading some of these beautiful Memorial Day quotes.

Memorial Day is, first and foremost, a sacred day focused on remembering the millions of brave heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country. And these Memorial Day quotes help us dive in to that commemoration.

Air as in AC?  I think it only was 53 here yesterday, & I'm running my Heat in the Car going home from work & coming in today.... My outdoor AC unit still has the winter cover. I can count on 1 hand the days we have hit 70 (with fingers to spare) here.  Global warming? 😄
