Happy Memorial Day

We had a few surprises on the start of our Corona Summer yesterday. Okay, Memorial Day is the unofficial official start. Are you dusting off your white pants and grilling brats from a safe distance today? A brat is short for bratwurst, a delicious sausage consumed in mass quantities here in Wisconsin, not a naughty kid.

We used to live with my cousin and her family in one big Italian house

The first surprise was lots of sunshine following all the rain.

I love her Memorial Day outfit

And the second was a COVID Visit (COVISIT) from my cousin, Rita. She was done with chemo for the time being and having a good day.

My mother and I road tripped from her living room to her balcony and had a lovely visit ❤️.

  1. Happy Memorial Day Jeanna! It is also a holiday here for us in the Philippines but we celebrate the Eid which is a celebration of our Muslim brothers and sisters here. I love the outfits of Rita and your Mom! They look very patriotic with the red, white, and blue! Our bosses are away since they live on the East Coast and on holiday but I have to work to finish some data work. Hope you are having a great start of the week and would love a Brat with bread and mustard!

  9. I love to see your family dressed up for a holiday. It's hard not to be loved by a family, but must be hard to not be able to hang out with one you do have... your humor always helps me.
