Memorial Day

We had a nice Memorial Day.  We talked about the meaning behind the holiday and we planted some flowers along the front of our home to remember all the soldiers that have sacrificed their lives for our freedom.  Mommy chose some quotes by Theodore Roosevelt that make you think.  Oliver likes how Teddy was a "Rough Rider" and fought in a war.

(We hope you all had a pleasant, thoughtful Memorial Day.)

It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.

Theodore Roosevelt

I am a part of everything that I have read.

Theodore Roosevelt

The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.

Theodore Roosevelt

The human body has two ends on it: one to create with and one to sit on. Sometimes people get their ends reversed. When this happens they need a kick in the seat of the pants.

Theodore Roosevelt

Oliver will like that last quote.  He was actually sitting there enjoying our flowers and flags.  He also made sure that Mommy properly watered them.  Oliver is a good creator.
