Birthdays and Other Stuff! - Tuesday, May 22, 2012
So first of all, Happy Happy Birthday to our favorite guy stylist, Castor! Castor officially celebrated his birthday on Sunday, but the whole Ritual gang (plus spouses) got together at Cinetopia for the Tim Burton film, Dark Shadow... if you love Tim Burton, you'll love this movie, and of course Johnny Depp is in it, so that alone is worth checking it out! A few days later, we all gathered once again at Blitz... just couldn't get enough celebrating that week! Rumor has it that Castor's significant other, Nikki, made him a Carmel apple cheesecake. Funny, but we haven't seen any evidence of it!
With spring comes special 'dos for Prom, graduation and summer weddings and Ritual can definitely help you out with these! We are booking through the summer right now, so give us a call to find a spot for yourself. All of us at Ritual have adjusted our work schedules to include our "play" schedules, so appointments are filling up fast!
Finally, this weekend is Memorial Day Weekend and this year it hold a special significance for me. You see, my grandfather, Ernest, was a decorated veteran of World War II, and he passed away this March. More like my father than my grandfather, Ernie was a grand example of hard work, loyalty to family and faith in God to all who knew him. He was nearly fatally injured when he served in the United States Army, and although he lived nearly 70 years with the results of his war injuries, he never complained. No matter where you stand politically, if you see a veteran or someone who currently serves in the military, go up to them and tell them thank you. The list of what they give up in their day to day lives and what they risk when they serve is long. A simple thank you is always appreciated. This year, it will mean more when I put up our flag, remembering my amazing grandfather. I am grateful he survived World War II and got to live a long life. Many that serve are not so lucky.
