Hi Jaycee, That basket is great. So spring like! And of course the puppy is adorable. Busy day today, but a good one. Hope you had a good day, as well!

Thank you, and her grandma agrees that Syd will certainly have a different view of the world after such a journey. She saw London today and then it was on to Uganda. I’ll be glad when she is back home.

I am also not very enthused about this year’s line-up. The year that Taylor won, I picked him right from the start in the auditions. There was something about him. Last year I really liked Allison and was sorry to see her go. I only started watching after Carrie won, and I saw that finale show,heard her sing,and it was obvious that the show had merit. So I’ve watched ever since and really enjoy it for the plain old entertainment value and a break from the news of the day. I really don’t have a favorite this time.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHERS!



LCpl Scott Hardy and Pvt James Grigg, 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment, KIA Afghanistan 16MAR2010



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

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

Hi Lori! I haven't seen you in forever! I swear I just don't get time to get on Facebook anymore. I spend my spare time at Amy's and when I get a yell-out from someone on FB, I always get on and answer! Are you still on there a lot?

No, I'm not going. My sons used to always go and one of them still buys his tickets every year. If he can't go, he sells them. My niece and family will be using his tickets this year. Of course, they will pay for them. Those things cost an arm and a leg.

He will be with his brother in law at his campground, where they rent out spaces for the motor homes. They also rent out trailers if someone needs one. I enjoy all the big motor homes, trailers, 5th wheels, etc. and of course the race drivers, with their big rigs, etc. coming into our city. We run over at the seams but its exciting. Its like a big fun circus.

Hope all is well with you and your family, Lori.

Thanks Lori, isn’t he sweet? Hope Billie sees that one!

[jaycee]

Thank you, tiapam! Seems every day turns out to be a busy one anymore, doesn’t it?

[tiapam]

Very nice graphic and lyrics to the song by Dwight Yoakam. Thank you. I haven’t heard him sing in years.

Hi Lori! I haven't seen you in forever!

I know. I have a hard time getting here. I do find it easier sometimes to keep in touch with friends and family on Facebook, but sometimes I am not able to get there either. My MIL is not doing well, she's been in and out of the hospital four times since the first of the year. She is currently in a Nursing and Rehab center with the goal of returning her to Assisted Living as soon as she regains her strength. Each time she has to go into the hospital, it takes so much out of her.

We will be tuned into the race at Bristol this weekend. JK rarely misses any of the NASCAR races.

Hugs!

Hi tiapam. Thanks for the compliments on my graphic today. I really like Dwight Yoakam, even though I am not a big Country Western fan. I would love to go to one of his concerts.

[jaycee]

You asked me if I was going to go to the races? Its so much more comfortable on my couch and I get to see all the close-ups, etc....don’t have to sit in the hot sun or the pouring rain....LOL! And I sure don’t have to fight the traffic forever! I’ll take home anytime!

I’m going to bed....its going on 12 here in Tennessee. Nite-nite!
