I just now got time to read this 'Dandelion' story and it is beautiful, yorkie! Thanks for posting.

“Oh,” cried the dandelion, “I want to live wherever the happy children may find me when they run by to school, or romp and play in the fields.

It couldn't be more beautiful that the above statement!! I will look at a dandelion different now.

Good afternoon, Conor.
Happy Thursday.

Did your snow finally melt?
It is starting to feel like spring here.

Have a beautiful Thursday.

[jaycee]

Well, Amy, when you wake up to snow every day for a month, snow is whats on your mind. I will post snow graphics until this stuff goes away....LOL!

[jaycee]

That is a very beautiful picture, Conor.

Dear Marissa, Please get grandmother to sing this song to you! Maybe you already know this song but when I saw your little sweet picture with the Pledge of Allegiance, this song came to mind! I've always loved this little song!

THE ALPHABET SONG

A you're adorable
B You're so beautiful
C you're a cutie full of charms.
D you're a darling and
E you're exciting and
F you're a feather in my arms.
G you look good to me
H you're so heavenly
I you're the one I idolize
J we're like Jack and Jill
K you're so kissable
L you're the love light in my eyes.

M, N, O, P, I could go on all day
Q, R, S, T, alphabetically speaking, You're OK!

U make my life complete
V means you're very sweet
W, W, Y, Z

Oh, I love to wander through
The alphabet with you
To tell you what you mean to me!

[JustAmy]

I know that I would not be able to survive in very much snow. I get depressed when we don’t see the sun for a few days.

I think snow is so pretty but what little I’ve seen of it, it is also soooo cold.

When we were in DC in 2005, I thought that I would freeze to death. Marissa kept playing in the snow with her gloves on while we waited for the Metro. It wasn’t very long before she was crying because her hands were frozen.

[JustAmy]

I think this is a sweet song; I will sing it to her but she would probably rather sing it herself. You’ve never heard me sing. LOL

Thanks, Amy - we had some melt-off today but still a lot of snow left.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

L/Cpl Jason H. Estospinal, USMC, KIA Afghanistan 15FEB2010

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.

Flowers of the Forest



Black Watch Piper

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Rupert Brooke
