I am still here, although I haven’t been very good about keeping up to date with this blog. I think it is a function of the shift I am currently working. I work as a 911 dispatch supervisor and am now working the evening (swing) shift. When I work swing shift I normally get home right about 10:00 pm. Then I like to watch one or two of the shows that have been taped, before heading for bed at midnight or close to it. I almost never get on the computer when I get home at night.
Since I don’t have to be at work until 2:00 pm, I never set an alarm. When I get up, I have to have my coffee and read the paper. Then take care of the birds in the aviary before getting to the computer or finishing up on any shows I still haven’t watched. To make a long story short, I don’t spend as much time on the computer; therefore I don’t spend as much time as I should keeping up with the blog.
I’ll try to do better over the next month or so, and then when I get to the grave shift starting in July I should have plenty of computer time.
Remember that Memorial Day is coming soon. Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (on May 25 in 2009). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the civil war), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action. The traditional day for the Memorial Day observance is May 30, however, it was changed years ago to be the last Monday in May to give a 3 day holiday.
Be good; honor our military, our vets and the vets in your family. Delores and I hit several different cemeteries before Memorial Day to place US flags at the grave sites of the veterans in our family.
