Happy Patriot’s Day

April 19, 2010 By Carole

White Blossoms resized for blog

It’s Patriot’s Day here in Massachusetts (and Maine) and that means a day off for both Dale and I. While he is going to march with his Civil War buddies in the Lexington parade, I am taking the kids out for shopping and lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. I can’t help but wonder which one of us is being more American. Heh.

Hope you all have a great day!

    When I was a freshman in high school I lived in Lexington and had to march with the band at dawn for the Patriot’s Day parade. That really made April 19th stick in my memory.

    My kids are feeling better, and I’m planning to take them to some of the Historic Society’s events later this morning. Missed the marchers, but that’s because everyone slept past 7 this morning, so I’m not too sad.

    Enjoy your day! We used to have “Statehood Day” here in Ohio, but either they did away with it or no one pays attention to it. When I worked for the state, it was a holiday, but not so for anyone else.

    Wish Dale and you could have seen the concert this last weekend!
    The local re-enactment group lent us all the guys’ costumes, and then they attended the sunday performance in full uniform. It was awesome!
