A ‘Not So Traditional’ Memorial Day Weekend

I look forward to the spontaneity of this Memorial Day weekend. Maybe it will be a walk with a friend? Wine with friends at a local vineyard? Grabbing morning coffee by walking to a local coffee shop? What will you do to break out of your Memorial Day weekend norm? Think about it…make it a ‘not so traditional’ Memorial Day weekend!

Consider the Egg

Probably one of the most private things in the world is an egg before it is broken—MFK Fisher, How to Cook a Wolf, 1954. Consider the egg: among the first foods we feed our children, and the last we eat before dying.
