If you’re preparing for an outdoor party or get-together set the stage ahead of time by purchasing disposable plates, cups, silverware, and napkins. Make sure to have trash bags, paper towels, and cleaning supplies on hand. Clear off the counters and dishwasher in advance, so you have an open work space. If you’re dining al fresco for two then, by all means, use real dishes.
During your party or get-together make sure to leave trash and recycling bins accessible to guests. Because you’re unable to monitor everything, recruit a few people to help you take charge of specific tasks like replenishing drinks and periodically clearing away trash.
For cleanup use large trays for transporting food and supplies back to the house. Pack up leftovers, using resealable bags instead of more bulky plastic containers. Soak pots, pans, grill tools, and dishes to make them easier to clean. Designate a family member to clean one section of the yard.

Each Memorial Day I am reminded of all of my relatives who started this country and fought in the Revolutionary War. I come from a long line of military service. Many family members survived war and some did not. I am forever grateful to all of the men and women who have given their lives to preserve our freedom. Blessings on those who have lost loved ones in the line of duty.

I took this photo in Norwalk, Connecticut. As I walked past this sculpture I stopped and was taken by its beauty.
Happy Memorial Day! We Will Never Forget As We Recount The Sacrifices Of Soldiers!
