Unfortunately in Europe we don't 'celebrate'-hold memorial day-as I know we have so many others like this in Hungary but at that time we stay at home together or visit grandparents-but not because of this occasion. rarely go out that time 'cause our society's lil bit temperamental in national things ...

We had our Victoria day weekend this weekend here in Canada. We went to visit my parents and had a nice time seeing my sister and her kin too.
i tried to get a bit of quilting done today too.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
We have two pets that were named Mars and Venus. We still have Mars the cat but sadly no longer have Venus the dog. Venus was definitely a gentle giant - quite loving.
