We left the boat Sunday evening to get back to town for the memorial Day services held in our little town.\u00a0 Way back when there was a parade and a marching band and we would all march from the school to the cemetary where we would meet the American Legionnaires who would present the 21 gun salute.<\/p>\n
Today it is a little more subdued and we have a prayer, a short speech from our State Representative (who lives in town or we would not warrant that dignitary) and a longer speach from some veteran or the Lions Club president.\u00a0 Then the junior high school band plays The Star Spangled Banner and a couple of other songs and it finishes with the 21 gun salute.\u00a0 Small town stuff but I was brought up believing in such things and we carry on the traditions with a trip to visit the dearly departed.\u00a0 Then a family lunch that gets smaller every year and so winds up Memorial Day rememberances.<\/p>\n
In the afternoon we kayaked up stream to an lake with no name and then a little farther up towards Long Lake but SAM was getting tired so we turned around.\u00a0 On the way back I took the short detour to Mud Lake which is behind the old Turkey Farm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
