In years past, our family has had a Memorial Day Cookoff but this year, we are celebrating the beginning of summer in Cabo San Lucas!  We will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary along with our kids, so this is such a wonderful opportunity for us.  I am going to miss our tradition, though.

On this Memorial Day, I would like to publicly thank my late dad, Jerry D Oliver, my uncle David W Holt, uncle Richard Peck, late uncle Robert J Oliver and cousin Mike Moore for their service in the armed forces. I am so fortunate to have these honorable and brave men in my own family!
