The question does not have to be asked...you know the one. The one where someone says how did it get to be Memorial Day already. Let's face it folks. As we get older, the days fly by...much faster than when we were kids and couldn't wait for holidays to show up.

Tarnished Images, Not On My Watch!
There they were... looking all tarnished and neglected. thinking no one cared anymore. Two things happen when I see something that needs to be done in my home.
