Happy Memorial Day weekend, friends. Â I always feel very pensive on Memorial Day more than other holidays. Â I am so thankful to live in a free country, one that values women’s rights and free speech, among many other things. Â But this freedom has come at a price.

Â But I don’t let these days go by without also saying my prayers for those have lost their lives so that we can enjoy our freedom.
Life goes on, and I do hope you are having a lovely weekend. Â I have another dinner planner ready to go:
