Some friends (Charlie and Diane Yates and Brian and Linda Chandler) invited us to join them on their boat for Memorial Day.  (See Daryl’s blog for more pics…these are the ones I had on my camera, minus the one of Angela that she will thank me for NOT putting on my blog….)  It was a refreshing evening. 

I had been missing my uncles, to whom I was always grateful on Memorial Day for their part in World War II.  This year, I felt a bit of a gap, since my last two uncles passed away this year. 

To my joy, we got to celebrate with a vet, Charlie Yates.  He fought in the Vietnam War, and flew airplanes.  (Again, see Daryl’s blog for more accurate detail)  Thanks, Charlie.  It meant a lot to me.
