Memorial Day, honoring my uncle Nick Vukmirovich who died at Anzio in WWII. Buried age 20 in the military cemetery in Italy. Hubby got a call to ride in a deuce and a half in our local parade starts in an hour. Hubby served in the army overseas during Vietnam. Remembering your family's service this Memorial day!
The amount of tomatoes that go into just ONE batch of ketchup has always astounded me. I contemplated making it...once, LOL!
I always buy the low-sugar variety; I can’t tell the difference.
Happy Memorial Day! I have a lot of Vets in my life but none that have died in battle, so I am thankful for that! I was in Army Basic Training the Summer/Fall of 1979 and all of my Drill Sergeants were Vietnam Vets. Those guys knew their stuff, for sure.
Our First Sergeant was a real character - big black guy named ‘Barnum.’ He said it stood for ‘Bad, Arrogant, Rude, Nasty, Ugly and MEAN!’ But he was anything but.
Funny the things you remember when going through ‘trauma,’ LOL! That young woman from inner-city Milwaukee had no CLUE about the REST of the Big Wide World at that point in her life. ;)
