Wrapping Up May: What a great way to end the month.

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are enjoying your break and Memorial Day. We celebrate the first official day of the summer season this weekend. Parades, picnics and pool openings! 

Memorial Day honors the Americans who gave their lives protecting and defending the United States. The tradition began after the Civil War. Graves of these heros are marked with American flags. Enjoy the National Concert on PBS.

In Indianapolis we end the month of May with the Indy 500 race the Sunday befor. Find out more and watch the race live. This year, the race will not be blacked out in Indianapolis.

Cicadas are in the news. These particular cicadas emerge only every 17 years. What a great opportunity to see and experience something unusual!
