Sam's Place: May 2014

June 6, 1944 D-Day A Day in Our History

This year on June 6, 2014 will mark the 70th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, better known as D-Day.

On this day 70 years ago the Allied forces began their attack and march into Germany, as the forces invaded the 50 mile coast line of France.

This movie is just a reminder of what sacrifices were made by the allied forces, and it will be a day forever remembered in World History.

This I will always remember, as my dad served in the US Navy. He was on the USS Thurston a troop transport. His ship was 10 miles off the coast of Omaha Beach that day awaiting their orders.

This link is my personal review of the move:

What is Your Plan for Mother's Day

Yum

Mother's Day 2015 is now upon us. Do you have a plan for your mother? This is always a special day for your mother, what do you think she may want? I'm going to guess that most mothers just want to spend time with you on this special day.

Many times we would take my mother to dinner, or cook a special meal and just relax and enjoy the family. I wish my mother was still here to enjoy this, all I have now are the wonderful memories.

Whatever your plan, a great idea is a Gift Basket. There are so many themes to choose from, a nice relaxing Spa Basket, Chocolates, Tea and Coffee, the list just goes on. So besides spending time with your mother, give a wonderful Gift Basket I'm sure you'll make her happy on this special day.
