weekend

This weekend I went shopping on Saturday morning the we went back home and I played outside with the little kids while their dad was cutting down a tree for the garden thing. Then we played a little baseball at home then we took my dog Milo that is black lab to Point No Point it was really fun my moms friends came and we just hung out on the beach and made forts and such. Then we went back to the house and got ready for the drive in we picked up some pizzas to take there and we went to see Hangover two. We didnt stay for the second one because they had baceball so they didnt want to stay to late but it was still fun. then on Sunday when I got back to my dads his ridin buddys were over and his friend Rusty got a camera for his helmet and he was testing it and we watched it on our tv. it was pretty cool.:) I had a pretty good weekend.

Music*

Reading

I like to read, only if its a good book. I dont like to read when someone tells me I have to. I dont like reading a book I didnt pick out like literture circle books but when I find a good book I cant stop reading it On tuesday I started a book with 345 pages and finished it when I got home then on Wednesday I started a book when I got home with about the same number of pages and I finshed it before my bedtime. (9:00)

This weekend I went to Ashleys, and she was having a garage sale. Like a million diffrent families. So her parents wanted us to work. I stayed all weekned, and helped pack up. I dont like garage sales. Used stuff is gross, but they have one every Memorial Day weekend. Theres this lady Lynn; shes really hyper, shes fifty, and she eats ice cream bars for breakfast. She made me dance wtih her...That was my weekend.

Memorial Day is more than just a three-day weekend

It was first known as Decoration Day

From the practice of decorating graves with flowers, wreaths and flags, the holiday was long known as Decoration Day. The name Memorial Day goes back to 1882, but the older name didn't disappear until after World War II. Federal law declared "Memorial Day" the official name in 1967.The holiday is a franchise

Calling Memorial Day a "national holiday" is a bit of a misnomer. While there are 11 "federal holidays" created by Congress -- including Memorial Day -- they apply only to Federal employees and the District of Columbia. Federal Memorial Day, established in 1888, allowed Civil War veterans, many of whom were drawing a government paycheck, to honor their fallen comrades with out being docked a day's pay.

For the rest of us, our holidays were enacted state by state. New York was the first state to designate Memorial Day a legal holiday, in 1873. Most Northern states had followed suit by the 1890s. The states of the former Confederacy were unenthusiastic about a holiday memorializing those who, in Gen. Logan's words, "united to suppress the late rebellion." The South didn't adopt the May 30 Memorial Day until after World War I, by which time its purpose had been broadened to include those who died in all the country's wars.
