Star Spangled

Memorial Day is such a great time to gather with friends and family and enjoy- a generally much needed- day off! Even more so, in a time like this season, it is a reminder to be thankful for those friends and family and, whatever our politics, be grateful for those who have fought to make this country our home. So here are some tips to give a little something extra to your festivities. Enjoy!

Poppies represent eternal life and rememberence and are the perfect choice for Memorial Day.
