Breakfasts and dinners sure sign of spring
I have always hated Mondays and this week has been no exception.
After being buried in snow on Monday morning, I made my way into the office thinking about spring. Spring is the time of year we thaw out and get out to Sunday morning pancake breakfasts or to the Friday evening fish fry dinners, which are so popular throughout Lent.
It is that time of year when announcements begin coming in from posts in the area announcing the Friday evening fish fry meals or the Sunday morning pancake breakfasts. If the post you belong to host events like these, please send in the details so everyone can enjoy some springtime hospitality.
