During the seventh-inning stretch, they honored some of the servicemen who had recently returned.

Kudos to the mystery blogger; a blogger prince in disguise to mingle among the rest of us to see how we will treat him!<br /><br />Typically, we just hang out at home and enjoy the simpleness of no schedule. I love mingling with my kids. :)Elizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028099814857743134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-71705800256337986472014-05-27T07:51:50.146-07:002014-05-27T07:51:50.146-07:00I flew the flag for my father this Memorial Day.
