Evening Jen. Fun essay. I agree, the author has the FReeper spirit. Keep pitching it to your friend.

[JustAmy]

We missed the Enola Gay. (Darn)

I have lots of pictures of B-17s. Several with Hubby. I will post one or two later. Also got pictures of FReedom One and the Presidential plane. I have another picture (is it a Blackbird?)

You guys may get tired of me if I try to post all of my pictures. LOL

[Kudsman]

Welcome home Amy. Hope you had a wonderful vacation.

[JustAmy]

It is a great place; Hubby was particularly interested in the B-17s and the B-29's. Those are the two he was assigned to during WWII. He did not leave the USA. The war ended as his crew was preparing to leave for the South Pacific.

[JustAmy]

Thank you!!

We had a great time.

Today, I've been trying to catch up on the thread. I may have to just call it even and forget the rest. LOL

I missed you guys. Hope you had a great week.

[JustAmy]

Awww ..... Thank you!!!

[JustAmy]

That recipe sounds yummy!!

The Wind
by Robert Louis Stevenson

I saw you toss the kites on high
And blow the birds about the sky;
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies' skirts across the grass -
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!

I saw the different things you did,
But always you yourself you hid.
I felt you push, I heard you call,
I could not see yourself at all -
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!

O you that are so strong and cold,
O blower, are you young or old?
Are you a beast of field and tree,
Or just a stronger child than me?
O wind, a-blowing all day long,

O wind, that sings so loud a song!

Spectacular photos! Where do you find them!

I was about to ask you the same question about your "holidays", when I discovered the greeting card company that publishes daily commemorations. My photos often come from usefilm.com.

Meanwhile, just back from the NY Film Festival, I can recommend two films when they open: Seducing Dr. Lewis (Canada) and Captive (Argentina). With the latter, I also have a personal connection.

So only now do I have a chance to comment on The Evolution of Conservatives and Liberals which I found fascinating, like this seasonal gem: "Liberals invented the designated hitter rule in baseball because it wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also bat."

Finally, welcome back, Amy! Do you know what day Monday is?

[JustAmy]

Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Guy!!
Best wishes for a long and happy marriage.

[JustAmy]

"Do you know what day Monday is?"

Hmmmm .... is spring training over? My guess (from your hint) would be the start of the baseball season.

It is great to be home, but the drive through LA yesterday was he!!. A lot of idiots on the road; you wonder how anyone makes it home alive. :)

[JustAmy]

Wow ..... Thank you!!!

Well, tell us about your personal connection!!!

[JustAmy]

Thank you for helping keep Amy's Place open while I was away.
I missed you all!!

[cyborg]

Awwwwwwwwww welcome back!

[JustAmy]

Both the picture and the poem are wonderful.

Thank you!!

[JustAmy]

I really missed everyone.

One day, I had a chance to use a pc at the hotel. I was so excited, I would finally be able to say hi. Guess what??? FR was down. Another evening, I checked on the pc but some college girls were doing .... homework?

Anyway .... now I don't have to share my pc with anyone!!!!
