Do you plan on grilling this Memorial Day Weekend? For my family and I, it wouldn’t be Memorial Day weekend without a small barbecue. If you are a master griller, make sure you aren’t making theses mistakes when grilling.
FlickrMemorial Day Weekend is great! It's the first long weekend of the spring and summer season. The kids are finally out of school and everyone is ready to BBQ or get out of town.
Most of America might look forward to Memorial Day because it gives us a three-day break from our hectic work lives and an excuse to grill great gobs of red meat over an open pit, but it’s intentions are much nobler.
As Memorial Day opens the gate to summer, we all begin to plan our outdoor activities. Most of us will find a reason to get outside for the long weekend and enjoy food, friends, family and some delicious beverages. And really, it wouldn’t be a summer holiday without some grilling.
The service men and women of our country make huge sacrifices to fight battles on our behalf and keep the freedoms we hold dear. One of those sacrifices is being away from their families and loved ones for long periods of time. The only thing that makes this sacrifice bearable for most is the incredible sweetness of coming home, even if it is only for a short leave.
With this being the Memorial Day weekend there will be some closures. Most city, county, state and federal offices will be closed Monday as will the banks and there will be no mail delivery.
