Yark! I'm not sure about that. I already have a trip to Arizona in the works for my birthday week...the 22nd...so that might be running it a bit close...unless it is the 1st part of the month. And in May (the 5th) there's the Houston FReeper thingy.

April maybe, if it's not the week of Easter, because JAC owns me that week! LOL! But whatever is good for the majority is what should be done. Sorry to be difficult to work with. :o(

Raindrop Prelude

Literally! And next time a happier one....

[Old Sarge]

Trading sword for wand, and
changing armor for robes,
battle cries for incantations,
spells will do for confrontations,
wizards weaving words of wonder
different makes and means of power,
lonely towers, simmering cauldrons,
musty books of wisdom,
mysteries solved, and riddles unwoven,
legends and tales
adventures all.

August?? (June and July are somewhat busy for me)

U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial

 

By BRETT ZONGKER

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The iconic U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, which faces the nation's capital, is undergoing the most extensive restoration in its more than 50-year history.

Better known as the Iwo Jima Memorial, the depiction of Marines raising a flag above the World War II battleground honors all Marines who have given their lives to defend the United States. The original design was based on news photographs and was dedicated in Arlington, Va. in 1954.

Now a $3 million dollar project is under way to help preserve the statue for another 50 years with improvements to the plaza grounds and lighting that surrounds the statue, said George Washington Memorial Parkway Acting Superintendent John James.

"There's been deterioration and some problems," James said. "We're inspecting the inside of the statue to make sure that's all OK and correcting any problems that we see."

James described the project as a general rehabilitation of the 78-foot-high memorial with the most noticeable changes being made to the cracking sidewalks that lead to the statue.
