Time for me to go AWOL for awhile.
Thank you all for visiting.
Thank you for your graphics, prayers, and friendly chitchat.

I'll try to get back sometime this evening.
I won't have time tomorrow morning.
We need to leave here not later than 6:30.
May have my coffee on the go.

Have a fun/safe weekend.
Have a Happy 4th.

INDEPENDENCE DAY 2009

CONCORD HYMN



By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.

The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept,
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.

On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.

Spirit, that made those heroes dare,
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare,
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thank you for the prayers! I got good news today. My Auntie phoned and at first it sounded bad, as she told me she had to get to the ER at 6am Thursday. Then she went on to tell me that the ER doctor probably figured out what the cause of her problem is. It was not allergy realated at all! She has a badly inflamed major nerve on the right side of her neck. The ER doc gave her several nerve blocker shots and a prescription for vicadin until the nerve heals. Auntie was sounding so much better than a few days ago when no one had figured out the real problem yet. It might take a long time for that nerve to get back to normal, but at least we think the cause of the problems has been found, Praise The Lord!!!

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Sgt. Terry Jay Lynch, USA, KIA 29JUN2009

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

God Of Our Fathers



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!

Weatherman says sun might show up here tomorrow, the 4th!

If it does I shall take it as a sign, a sunshine sign on my country's birthday.
