Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering those who died while serving our country. It is currently observed every year on the last Monday of May, so we will celebrate it this Monday, May 28th. The holiday was originally held on May 30 up until 1970.

She made these rugs on a big Continue reading “✂️Hooked on Rugs and Clothes👚”
