Today, we remember the lives lost and those who have served. Veterans Day in the United States honors those who have served their country in the military. In the Commonwealth of Nations of Britain, including Canada, Remembrance Day honors those whose lives have been lost in defending their nation. In both observances, it’s the recognition of the sacrifice of oneself for freedom and for the ones they love.
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh passed away at age 99 on April 9th, 2021. He was always at the side of Queen Elizabeth, II where they were married for 74 years. Phillip made numerous contributions to the Royal Family and to Great Britain as a whole. May he be remembered in fairness and with kindness at this time.
To my friends in the United Kingdom today is the day to vote. Make your voice heard. Its your duty to secure the future. Get out and vote!
In some parts of the world, the United Kingdom specifically it’s Mother’s Day. To all those mums who are keeping their families and communities going I salute you and appreciate what you do to make the life better for those in your lives. I hope you have had a great day and have been spoiled with as much love as you give.
Theresa May began her political career in the middle of Margaret Thatcher’s premiership and has long been touted as the woman most likely to become Britain’s second female prime minister.

Later today Theresa May becomes the new Prime Minister of Great Britain. She follows in the steps of Sir Winston Churchill and Baroness Margaret Thatcher. From what I have read she will be a tough leader and will have to negotiate terms of the Brexit leave of the European Union. She is going to have her work cut out for her as she succeeds outgoing Prime Minister David Cameron who served for six years. .
My British/UK friends, what say you about your new Prime Minister?
I am not sure what to say after last night’s vote to leave the European Union. To my friends and fellow bloggers in the UK, stay the course on your own lives. Go out tonight and have some fun. Forget for a moment the politics that led to this vote. Hang in there. You have my support. It’s not the end of the world, although for some it feels like it this morning. Others are celebrating the results. Rule Britannia.
