It takes a smart lady to not forget to take Hershey’s Nuggets!

Loved the whippoorwill sound. I swear I think I’ve heard that. I’m going to have sit out more. When its hot, I don’t like sitting out much. I just watch from the window. The hummingbirds are loving their drink! I was late getting it out this year but when I put it out, it wasn’t an hour until they were there.

I am so glad you are closer to your children now. Thats the best part.

(((((I don’t want anyone to miss it either.)))) Left out a word. Going back to bed....LOL!!! Maybe I’m not awake yet.

Thanks, JC. Most of the ‘water’ gifs are too big to post - so when I found that one - I grabbed it for a ‘rainy day post’.

[yorkie]

Yes - Elvis did and will ALWAYS have that effect on anyone who hears him sing.

You’re welcome, Meg!

Rain by Grace

God gives us rain to wash our pain away
the soft rain song on the roof holds sway
And we drift away on a gentle tide to rest
until pain subsides seeking only the best

The rain patter is a song, soft and clear
to sooth our hearts, to gentle our fear
God gives us soft rain to heal us His way
so we can be free to love the coming day

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!

Being out to sea 6 months at a time is hard on families.

FYI: That wonderful group “4 Troops” is on one of my PBS stations. Do not know when it started, etc. Just thought you might like to see them. Their music is so good...only Patriotic! (They are in money raising at the moment for the station.)

Did you know the Constitution, Bill of Rights, the Articles of Federation now come with a disclaimer? At least they do if their in a book on Amazon! Check the link out and decide for yourself, has the Founding Documents become something dirty, sullied, something to ‘filter’ before your kids can read them?

This is something we need to put up for public debate, before the elections.

I love this song!
You made me smile!
I had another treat today ... a visit with a niece..She brought lunch and darling pictures of her grandchildren.
She was very close with my Mother...and we laughed and shared memories.

That should have read “Articles of Confederation”
(sorry, dumb fingers!)

He was gone 8 months this cruise..They changed duty stations from Hawaii to Norfolk right after his return..so leave was delayed...
It is hard on families..but so far they seem to handle the adjustments as well as can be done. His wife is so sweet to me. She emailed us updates and pictures often while he was away.

I was on a screened patio...Screen is so good in Texas!
It’s cool at 3am..LOL

My daughter had a hummingbird sighting and is anxious to get a feeder up...I did not put one up..miss seeing the tiny beauties.

Yes...I go way too long not seeing my daughter and son in law lately. This move has taken so long because of her disc problems.
She is so much closer to my son and his family, too. We can all meet in the middle at my daughter’s house when things settle down to semi normal.
