A Day We Remember

Today's post is a two-parter. How can any of us ever forget 8 yrs ago today? I never will! Besides the thousands who lost their lives that day, the families who suffered immensely because of those losses, there came other thoughts that have remained heavy on many of our hearts. My son was in boot camp on 9/11/01. While watching and listening to the news that day, I realized, this was going to affect my son in the near future. He is just now finishing his second tour in the Middle East. When I think of all the loved ones left at home, while our soldiers continue to shed blood, sweat and tears for us, I am so overwhelmed. Heartache for all the families left behind, and an awesome love for those who continue to fight for our country overcomes me every time I hear another soldier has died for his country. But......I am in love with our Great Nation. I am so in awe every time I see a flag flowing with a breeze. I am proud of my son and all his comrades. I am a very grateful American!






Then, also on this date, there was Sunny skies, food, flowers, family and friends, Gathered pool side, for the Marriage of two people. Music, laughter and lots of smiles.






Five years ago today!

The Bells Will Ring Tomorrow

This is my somewhat new wind chime. Of course it takes a strong wind to even have it make some noise, as it is quite heavy. You can see, it is made up of flower pots. Of course I had to paint it in patriotic colors! Tomorrow, would be a very good day for a stiff wind to blow, and make these chime, to remember the anguish so many suffered on 9-11.

Whats Cookin Dad

Billy is waiting patiently for his daddy to fix supper. Everytime we go into the pantry, or open a box, or crinkle a bag, Billy is right there waiting to see what he maybe getting for a snack. He is so human sometimes!

Lovin Chocolate

You ask, why would I snap a photo of a Hersheys chocolate can? For no other reason, than I absolutely love chocolate. If you read the label though, this is not your ordinary can of Hersheys syrup. This......is actually a candle......that smells just like chocolate. Lite this baby up, and you will think you have died and gone to heaven! And no calories either! But........somehow........it doesn't really sastify my need to savor some of this sweet treet:(
