Lol… Well (as I commented on another thread that just got started), somewhere kicking around I have a charred bone…from the very first cat that I owned which didn’t quite get fully cremated when I did the cremation myself here on my property.🤪

Rusty the hunting dog is not new and I smile every time I see it. 😃 see?!

April 25 is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand, the equivalent of the US Veterans’ Day. It was chosen because on April 25, 1915. the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps stormed the beaches at Gallipoli in what was ultimately a failed camapign to take the Gallipoli Peninsula from the Turks led by Kemal Attaturk. It was the first campaign in which there were major losses for the ANZACs. There is usually a special service held by Australian and New Zealand participants at Gallipoli on ANZAC Day, which is facilitated by the Turks, and towns all over both countries have a Dawn Service and usually a parade and wreath laying ceremony later in the day for all returned service personnel, as well as other activities commemorating the day.

For those who are barbecuing this weekend.
