We decided that today would be a lay-low kind of day.  No big get-togethers to celebrate the start of summer.  Just putter around the house, picking up clutter, doing about six months of backed up filing (I hate filing!) and do some laundry, groom the dogs.

I find myself thinking a lot today about how many people have gone to war and sacrificed their lives.  Whether the cause was just or not, they went because our country called them to go, and they went.  I am feeling very humbled by their sacrifices.
