“Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them.”
– FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
It has been said that freedom is never free. It is paid for in sacrifice. The bricks that build its foundation are the brave men and women whose shining service forge the mortar. This is a debt we repay by holding the holy gift of freedom forever in our hearts.
We pay homage to them all on this Memorial Day.
And never forget.
Love,
Dara Joy
or as we say in Mass- Happy Evacuation Day ; )
Did you know that according to wikipedia, “St. Patrick’s Day is indirectly observed as an official holiday in Boston, as it coincides with the official Evacuation Day holiday observed annually since 1901 to commemorate the day in 1776 that British troops ended their occupation of Boston.”?
Yep.
Good thing too. Who knew that the day the brits pulled out of Boston harbor for good had to forever be acknowledged with parades, dancing, music, corned beef, the wearing of the green, and a whole lot of drinking?
Absolutely! So, on March 17, all Bostonians are Irish-
Because everyone loves to party.
Erin go Bragh!
Have a great day, everyone!
Love, Dara
Over the river and through the woods,
To grandmother’s house we go;
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh,
Through the white and drifted snow!
Over the river and through the woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes and bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.
Over the river and through the woods,
To have a first-rate play;
Oh, hear the bells ring, “Ting-a-ling-ling!”
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!
Over the river and through the woods,
Trot fast, my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground,
Like a hunting hound!
For this is Thanksgiving Day.
Over the river and through the woods,
And straight through the barnyard gate.
We seem to go extremely slow
It is so hard to wait!
Over the river and through the woods,
Now Grandmother’s cap I spy!
Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!
A Happy and Delicious Thanksgiving to all!!
Love and Yams,
Dara
