Wreaths Across America 2024
I previously shared that my husband visited the Veterans Cemetery to participate in the Wreaths Across America wreath-laying event. This year, he captured some stunning photographs showcasing the solemn beauty of the wreaths on the Veteran graves.
He told me how he lay on the wet, soggy ground to capture this photo.
I'm glad he was able to give a wreath to his dad, honoring his memory in such a meaningful way.

It rained heavily that Saturday, so I decided not to go because I had an early morning commitment at the church and wanted to avoid getting soaked in the pounding cold rain, which could have made me achy. The cemetery is 29 miles from my house, and he mentioned that it only sprinkled there, unlike the heavy downpour I was experiencing at home.
It has been raining all day today. I went out to buy the prime rib from the butcher and also purchased a new digital meat thermometer. I want to make sure I don't overcook it too well-done, especially for the price! I still think $12.99 a pound is a good deal. They cut it, tied it, and put it in a. rub on it at no extra cost! It should be a perfect medium rare, and the end pieces are for those who prefer it a little more done.
How do you like
your prime rib?
Do you prefer
horseradish or au jus?
I arrived early, but it started to get crowded. Many people are asking for crab, which will be available on the 18th. I'm allergic to shellfish, so I won't be having any.
That does it for me this cool, wet afternoon.
Is it 8 or 9 Days till Christmas?
See you tomorrow

Those images your husband captured are exquisite. (I ually shivered while gazing!). What a tribute to the fallen.
ReplyDeletePrime rib's not my fav, but I lean more to 'medium.'. What a treat your family has in store!
PS - I've a shellfish allergy, too. What a pain!
He did a good job
DeleteDebby, those photos are stunning and so touching. Tell your husband thank you for what he did to honor the vets.
ReplyDeleteI love Prime rib, and I like the au jus. I'll be anxious to hear how yours turns out!
I'm anxious to eat it
DeleteA sad and overcast day to match the mood. What wonderful, yet sorrowful photos he got!! Totally worth all of his efforts.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell him you said that!
DeleteThe photos are AMAZING!! Thank your husband for taking the photos to share with us.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the tribute.
Love, Carla
They were too amazing not to share!
Deletethe photos are beautiful, all of them, especially like the one with the view of the mountain. it touches the heart to the core to see all the graves in a wow and with the wreathes. makes us more aware of the price they paid. bob loves prime rib, I am not a fan of beef except hamburgers. I do eat it is served and like my done done done, bob is med rare. the only steak I ever ate and enjoyed was a gift to us of 3 filet mignons to repay bob for cutting there grass when their mower broke and for repairing the mower. it melted in my mouth.
ReplyDeleteAll this mention of beef makes me very hungry!
DeleteThose are nice photos of the cemetery with all the wreaths on each site. I especially like the third photo. I hope your prime rib turns out just the way you want. I'm not really a prime rib gal, but I do love a good pot roast. Raining and snowing here in the mountains. Have a good week, Debby.

I enjoy beef in most forms. We don't always have it like we did when I was a kid. We always had beef, chicken, pork, and fish when Dad caught some fresh.
DeleteYour husband took some fantastic photos, Debby. Thanks so much for sharing them here with us today. I think you'll have lots of grateful people when you serve that prime rib, too. Make mine medium rare - LOL! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteOkay, medium rare for Martha!
DeleteBeautiful seeing all the wreaths on the graves. So many!!
ReplyDeleteI like my prime rib med rare with horseradish but haven't had any for years.
It's always too expensive at Restaurants and you take that risk it may be too fatty - this one looked lean.
DeleteOh Debbie, your husband's photos are wonderful. They say it all...The one from belly level is a prize winner. So grateful for all who gave so much.
ReplyDeleteLove Prime Rib but haven't had it in a long time. Make mine medium rare with au jus.
I know your family will just love that dinner. What a gift.
Sue
Lol I will tell him that!
