First of all I apologize for not having a post last week. I completely forgot it was Tuesday! Having a holiday (Labor Day) on a Monday will do that.
I had a fun and busy weekend. Did a wine walk with friends on Saturday and on Sunday I headed over to 'Military Days' in nearby Lockport. I try to go every year. The park is filled with encampments, vendors of military memorabilia, clothing, medals, books - you name it! And food. Lots and lots of food. And Entertainment. And mock battles, from the Civil War to WWII. All in all, an amazing living history lesson.
If you ever have something like this near you, I recommend checking it out. You might learn something and you might have fun. I certainly did!
