Memorial Day 2025

 

          I wish you a meaningful Memorial Day. It is not a day for being merry or happy; it is a day to remember the people who made the ultimate sacrifice in battle. I thankfully do not know anyone personally who died in combat. I have a long history of family members who served, but they all returned home safely. 

          I have no problem with people and families getting together to enjoy each other's company. While I am not grilling out, I am going to be spending time with my kids. After my son gets off work, we are going to go see the Stitch Movie!!! I am so excited. We all have our Stitch shirts and accessories on, and tickets are waiting for us to get there. The movie looks fantastic. 

          Afterwards, in honor of O'hana, I am thinking Hawaiian food for dinner might be good LOL. I have chicken already that I can grill in the oven, and I can get some pineapple to go with it. My son always has rice on hand. I can make some sort of coconut dessert to go with. I need to get my daughter to watch the cartoon version of the movie as well. She has no real clue how awesome Stitch is. 

          He has always been my son's favorite character since he was little. He was seven when the original movie came out in 2002. Our first trip to Disney World was Stitch-focused, LOL. We got to have breakfast with him and met him in person at the Magic Kingdom. He signed my son's Stitch hat. We still have that hat. We also collected so many Stitch pins over the years. Stitch is a character we have definitely bonded over. He is just so cute and mischievous.
