Monthly Musings May 2023: Celebrating Memorial Day Weekend

 

Hey there Besties! Memorial Day weekend starts tomorrow. While we never want to underestimate the real meaning of this weekend, it is also the unofficial start of summer. Holly and I chose Memorial Day weekend as the theme for Monthly Musings and I cannot wait to see what all of the talented writers who join us every month share for their Memorial Day celebrations and traditions. This month try to stop by and visit a new site that links up with us that you have not visited before. Holly and I read all of the writers who link up with us and they are amazing and always have fun ideas.

Kick off the summer with us and take a moment to remember those that gave all to this country so that we can enjoy the freedoms we hold so dear.

1. How are you spending Memorial Day weekend?

Friday night I am kicking off the weekend by helping out with the All-Night Graduation Party for school. Since prom night and graduation nights can be the most dangerous seasons for teen drivers, our school hosts an all-night graduation party each year.

What could be Better than that?

1. Judy Blume Forever

I actually had a few hours to myself last weekend and while I folded the laundry I caught the Judy Blume Forever documentary on Amazon Prime.  I am definitely of the age where I read some of her books but have not read them all. I am also of an age where Judy Blume was considered very controversial and talked about on the nightly news and the talk shows that were so popular in the 1980's.
