Jennifer loves a good parade, and pauses to juxtapose the festivities with sadness…death and birth; paused life with new roots on an island.

Jennifer Beck Furber shares:

I’m the daughter of a marine, friend of fallen soldier. For me, patriotism is politically unbiased. As a child, my grandparents always taught me about service to country, pride in a uniform. I believe a bit of each grandparent lives inside my heart, and I’ll always show respect to a person in uniform and teach my girls to do the same.

Enjoy your celebrations!

Memorial Day is the start of the summer driving season, but with gas prices heading north of $4 a gallon, are you still planning on hitting the road? Where do you go when you pack up the family?

Every year for the past seven years I've stayed up late on Christmas Eve to handle Santa's actual task list--He seems to have delegated it all to me.

Mmmmmm. Pie.

Now through New Year’s, there will be no shortage of food-centered festivities. This delights me to no end.
