I had many humble moments. Still do. I hear reporters on the national news sometimes goofing. Whether to use I or me seems to be the worst culprit.

Almost every cemetery around here has Decoration Day which is usually Homecoming too. <br /><br />Cleaning the house can be remarkable :) Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-72261092889235837522013-06-10T21:16:11.264-05:002013-06-10T21:16:11.264-05:00Thanks Keith.

Anyway, Decoration Day must not be announced around these parts. I think it's wonderful and how nice that you volunteer your time. This may sound weird, but cemeteries are one of my favorite places to wander. My Mom's the same way so I can blame her! Have a great day and I hope I can do something remarkable, like cleaning my house since I have the day off!yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-43983581315199165832013-06-10T07:09:40.963-05:002013-06-10T07:09:40.963-05:00Rick I can defiitely see why you're so widely ...Rick I can defiitely see why you're so widely read.
