Beautiful graphics .... adding beauty to our morning.

We have a choice, think on and look for the beauty of this world or look for the problems, tragedy, sadness, ... they are there as well

Philippians 4:8-10

King James Version (KJV)
“ ...

8.Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

9.Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with thee.

That lobster reminds me of a diving experience when I was in the Navy.

We were in the Philipines (Subic Bay) and we went out fishing. We decended down the face of underwater rock formation. We arrived at the bottom (about 60’ deep) and there was a deep opening dug out under that rock wall. There were lobster antennae waving at us all across that opening. I was holding the bag and my two diving partners started from each side and started pulling out lobsters. We captured 13 lobsters (bugs) from that hole. Back aboard ship that night, we fired up a large pot of water on a small grill we had and boiled those lobsters and the feast began.

Oh my gosh, Dave, what an adventure! Guess you can understand my niece’s adventurous life. When I crave lobster I feel as if I could eat two but there is a point of no return on certain seafoods. Lobster is one of them...and scallops, too! I love scallops also! Those are my favorites but I love all seafood, including shrimp, oysters and even clams!

The job you had in the Navy had its rewards, didn’t it? I can picture you guys now fixing those lobsters and laughing through the whole thing.

Its good digging up those good memories!!

The Soldier’s Code

1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

Great graphic, Pam! Reminds me that I have 2 lottery tickets I haven’t checked yet! If I win anything, you all will hear it with the scream I yell out! LOL! I’m never anxious to check the tickets as I usually don’t win anything over $2.00....sooooo I get in no hurry!

I’m so tired I can hardly type....teehee!

[jaycee]

Hi Conor! Hope you’ve had a nice Monday to start your week! Wishing you a great Thanksgiving this week!

I just luvvvv that style of picture/painting (?). Like some old postcards from 1920s and 30s, I think? Anyway, thank you, really, really neat.

[yorkie]

Aw, thank you, BQ! I think it was from a post card from the 20’s.

I hope you got to watch the video, too!
