Memorial Day: Remember the Sacrifice

May 30, 2011 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 1 Comment

On this Memorial Day, 2011, and every day,

Please know that you are being thought of.

WE MISS YOU.

GOD BLESS YOU and keep you until the day we can celebrate face to face.

Let us all take a moment today between our trips to the beach and the barbeque’s, and parades, and remember the sacrifice of our soldiers; those that are currently serving and those that have given the ultimate sacrifice, for us to be free.

Thank you, we miss you and are praying for your save return!

Black or white? That is the question. »

Hello Elizabeth,

I periodically Google to see where my poem has ended up, and am always grateful that someone has been interested in it enough to post it, and that people find those words close to their heart. I am forever grateful for the (continued) sacrifices of our beloved soldiers (and their families).

Sincerely,
Brooke O'Neill Emery

Good morning friends, it’s a beautiful day! Mother’s Day is only a couple weeks away, what are you getting your mom? If I may suggest, @englishhomemag one of the most beautiful magazines and a gift in the mail every month. Or perhaps a pair of garden pruners from @barebonesliving everything the sell is amazing or how about these cute lavender chicks made with @libertylondon prints made by @limetree.designs .

Good afternoon friends, I’m taking a break and having a cup of tea while I read a chapter or two of my friend @kristywharvey newest book! If you have not ordered it yet, drop whatever you are doing and run to your computer or bookstore to get it. It’s heartbreaking and heartwarming and everything in between. Kristy is an amazing writer and all of her 7 books have been on multiple “must read” lists, The NY Times best seller and so many more. Have you ordered your copy yet? Are you ready and other good books that I need to know about? #tea #teatime #finka #hygge #teaforlife #breaktime #bluewillow #vintage #vintagestyle #vintagedecor #blueandwhiteforever #blueandwhite #blueandwhitedecor #macarons #frenchmacarons #cookies #flowers #spring #springflowers

Is there anything more beautiful in the spring than cherry-blossom’s? Ok, maybe lilacs but we don’t have any here so cherry blossoms it is. I snipped a few branches just in time because soon after I clipped these a huge storm blew them all away. Now the street is littered with pink petal confetti. What is your favorite spring flower? #flowers #blueandwhiteforever #blueandwhite #blueandwhitedecor #chinoiserie #chinoiseriechic #chinoiseriechicstyle #homedecor #homedecoration #pink #cherryblossom #spring #springdecor

Happy Monday friends! How was your weekend? We spent a lot of time in the yard, our flower beds have been taken over by weekday with all of the rain. I’ve got blisters, sore muscles and sun burn but I’m happy we got it done. Now all we need is sod and mulch! Thankfully someone else is doing that. Stop by the blog today to see what else I’ve been up to and share your weekend as well. #mondaymotivation #monday #mondayvibes #mondaymusings #blogger #pineconesandacorns #flowers #pink #books #fashionfinds #booklovers

Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to the weekend, it was raining when we woke up and that did not inspire me to hop out of bed to work around the house or the yard. Now the sun is shining and I am feeling so relaxed I don’t want to go outside. I’ve been perusing Pinterest and Instagram and there is so much inspiration for Spring and summer. I want to repaint a few rooms in the house(even through I don’t like painting) I want to plant a huge garden and have a wildflower meadow, I’ve found at least 30 recipes to try and I want to order at least 10 dresses from various stores. I better rein myself in before I do some serious damage to my wallet. Tell me what are you doing this morning? If you are relaxing with a cup of coffee come over to the blog and check out all of my favorites from around the web this week. I have book recommendations, recipes, fashion finds and more. Have a happy Saturday. #saturdayvibes #saturdaymorning #saturday #weekendvibes #weekend #flowers #springdecor #spring #springstyle #cherryblossom
