the simple list: May

2,500 the miles clocked by Harry Truman & his wife Bess, on their road trip from Missouri to New York back in 1953 & traveling w/No security detail! (my times have changed hmm?)
1908 the year the 1st Mother's Day celebration took place in Grafton, West Virginia; Congress made it an official day in 1914 - Hug it out with Mom on May 10.
3pm the time for Americans to pause on Memorial Day for a moment of remembrance in honor of the fallen.
French mechanic Pierre Lallement widely believed to be the father of the modern bicycle. Celebrate National Bike Month & show everyone how you roll.
1 good excuse to Ring & run? Because you left a May Day basket on your neighbor's doorstep. Revive an old-time tradition, set a basket of blossoms on the stoop next door, hit the buzzer, then disappear with a spring in your step :)
