Getting ready to watch the Indy 500, which should be starting at 9:00.

My son and DIL are at the race, so I will be looking for them in the stands.

I received this in an e-mail from my son....a photo of him, Danica Patrick and my DIL, taken during the 'meet and greet' with the drivers yesterday. Danica is all anyone is talking about at Indy this year.

GO DANICA!!!

I am still feeling kind of poorly. Thanks all for the 'get well' messages. I am going to take it easy today and should be back up to parr soon.

Wishing all a blessed Sunday.

[Mama_Bear]

Sheesh.......make that “back up to PAR”. :-)

With My Shield, Or On It

I know it is upsetting,
To see things done this way.
Flag-draped caskets side by side,
They’re headed home today.

One thing you might not think about,
The view from the inside.
I’ve got some time now on my hands,
While on this final ride.

Sorry I didn’t write more,
Too late to fix that now.
I’ll try to be more scrupulous,
To get word out somehow.

There are no easy channels,
But I’m sure that you will know,
I don’t regret the choice I made,
And why I had to go.

You’d think perhaps the view from here,
Would be quite dark inside,
But it is light as light can be,
My burden’s been untied.

And I’ve been lifted up,
On angel wings I think,
And I’ve got every thing I need,
Except our kitchen sink.

I’d like to wash my hands once more,
And turn and get a hug.
I wish I could shake the hand of,
My best friend too, ya lug.

But all that stuff is over now,
I’ve got my new assignment,
Looks like I hitched my wagon to,
A different star alignment.

I know I always promised Mom,
I’d try to be real good,
Will someone please just let her know,
I did the best I could.

I have to go now, duty calls,
Think of me when you can,
The folks will think they lost their boy,
My buddies saw a man.

Thank you, Amy, Billie and NnB, for this tearful remembrance of the high price we pay for our precious freedom.

Mama_Bear, enjoy watching the race today! Have a steaming bowl of hot chicken noodle soup, and I guarantee you will feel better. (I don't share my homemade noodles with just ANYbody, you know!)

Get well soon, now, y'hear?

[Mama_Bear]

Awwwwww........thank you, yorkie. That is so very sweet of you. And it looks delicious!!

I saw the photo of the sign on your fence. How cool is that?!? You're a STAR!!! :-)

[yorkie]

LOL! Well, the local tv station took a different train to the Grand Canyon, than our FReeper TARDS did - so they didn’t get on the evening news, afterall.

Quix had made the sign for the trip, and since they weren’t going to be on the news, he came back and taped it on my gate (with my permission, of course! I just didn’t know when he would do it!) He also shared his beautiful handmade pottery with everybody here!

It was a true time of FReeper-hood! lol

[WVNan]

How did I miss the fact that you are uinder the weather? If I had known, I would have been praying for you all along. So, I’m getting a late start, but I will pray for fast recovery. Please Freepmail me what is wrong. ((((Mama_Bear)))

[WVNan]

Oh drat! Tears. You always do that Bob.

[La Enchiladita]

Amen, LJ. “Love covers a multitude of sins.” Amen!

OUR SOLDIERS

When the security of our land is threatened,
We call on our soldier's might,
To go wherever they're needed,
To defend us day and night.

They leave their loves ones behind,
A great price our soldiers must pay.
Let us salute their courage and bravery,
May we remember them each time we pray.

Each time we spot "Old Glory"
Waving for all to see,
Let's think of all the soldiers that have
Kept it flying proud and free.

This great country is tolerant
Of cultures from other lands,
But, when they attack our precious freedom
We will punish with a heavy hand.

Our soldiers are tried and true,
Tempered like carbon steel,
Born of American Spirit;
Raised with American will.

Remember our fallen heroes that died,
So freedom may grow,
To nations around the world,
Wherever our warriors may go.
