Happy Memorial Day Weekend

On Memorial Day Weekend I remember and honor those who have served and who we have lost, including my father Richard H. Ross, who is at Arlington National Cemetery, and uncle, Jon Papp, who is buried on one of the Discovery Islands in Canada, and friends, too. 

I also treasure the tradition of it being a holiday that kicks off summer and the many pleasures of summer. So, in that regard, these few pics, and appropriate words... 

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away...

From the great Otis Redding, "Sitting On The Dock of The Bay"
