I was going to post that all day and couldn’t find the time so finally got it done. We are always talking about how we women love shoes and that graphic just finished up the graphic. Glad you liked it.

[jaycee]

Absolutely, we all feel that way about our hearts and bodies! I always say ‘sometimes I feel good and like that young girl I once was’ and then there are those other days that are hard to describe!! LOL!!

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.

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, among these who answered 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!

In early 1940, Kate Smith, a fiercely patriotic American, and the biggest star on radio, was deeply worried about her country.
She asked Irving Berlin if he could give her a song that would re-ignite the spirit of American patriotism and faith.
He said he had a song that he had written in 1917, but never used it. He said she could have it.
She sat at the piano & played it and realized how good it was. She called Mr. Berlin and told him that she couldn’t take this
from him for nothing. So, they agreed that any money that would be made off the song would be donated to the Boy Scouts of America.
Thanks to Kate Smith and Irving Berlin, the Scouts have received millions of dollars in royalties.
This clip is from the movie “You’re in the Army Now”. You will see a familiar face in this—one that we are all very proud of.
Frank Sinatra said that when Kate Smith, whom he considered the greatest singer of his age, first sang this song on the radio,
a million guys got ‘dust’ in their eyes and had to wipe the tears the ‘dust’ caused.
If you can watch and listen without ‘dust’ getting in your eyes, you have no soul. Sit back and enjoy a Real Star.

Thank you, Pandy! I miss seeing you here! (((HUGS)))

[yorkie]

Yep. It happens to me, too, when I look in the mirror. I think, “Who IS that?”

It happened overnight, didn’t it? (Or DID it?)

[jaycee]

Sometimes it feels it happened too quickly! My body shows something different from what I feel. Overnight? But it boggles my mind when I think how quickly those YEARS went by!!

[Kitty Mittens]

Dear Yorkie, that is One of the Most Beautiful Poems I have Ever Read!
