Day 134 – Holiday Yum-Yum

Happy Memorial Day! After a nice relaxed morning spent with my family, we briefly watched a special on the History Channel with some war hero stories that were both inspirational and sad. I saw on Facebook today a post that had a picture of Arlington Cemetery that read “All gave some, some gave all”. What a powerful statement. Heather’s husband and step son are in the military and I bet she surely would have celebrated today with BBQ, desserts, family and friends. We were not raised with a military family background but I surely respect and thoroughly appreciate the sacrifices made to keep our country safe.

Here we had a bit of a quiet day….running errands, cooking, eating and hanging out. Elijah went out with his buddies for a bit but before he did I asked him to come with me to participate in my intention. Just down the road and around the corner from me, there is a seasonal shop that has recently opened. I passed it earlier and it was jammed with people. They serve gelato, ice cream and waffles on a stick! I thought that was such a cute idea for a dessert and I just had to try it. They came with many different options but Elijah chose powdered sugar and cinnamon and I chose chocolate with sprinkles.

OMG they were sooo good!! I had a chance to speak with the owner for a bit and she was just lovely. I told her I was taking pictures to place on my blog. She asked what kind of blog I had and when I explained it to her she said she was so impressed with such a positive and inspirational idea for a blog. I told her that it is a life changing concept and I appreciated her positive feedback. Once again I am proud to be able to share Heathers’ memory even with perfect strangers and hope they are inspired to live their lives with intention and positivity while they can. #HGAL
