Hi, sweet lady! I have been pretty busy so I didn't even get to stay very long. Hope you're having a good weekend!

Nice weekend here - have had a little time to spend here today and enjoyed it a lot. Now it's time to start dinner though. Sigh. Wonder if I could just twitch my nose and a beautiful gourmet meal would suddenly appear? :)

I didn't think so. :( LOL

Mine doesn't work either...so we will be going out once again.

The weather here is just wonderful. Cool and cloudy with a hint of mist. Nice after the awful summer we had.

Saw this over at the Daily Dose and didn't want you all to miss it. A new Memorial in our nation's Capitol.

__________________________________________________

The memorial, which cost more than $30 million, is the work of James Ingo Freed, who designed Washington's U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The U.S. Air Force Memorial will honor the millions of men and women in the service and its predecessor organizations, memorial spokesman Richard Baker said …

The foundation was created in 1992 to promote a memorial for those who served in the Air Force and earlier organizations, including the Army Air Corps and Army Air Force. About 54,000 airmen have been killed in action, the Air Force said.

The memorial's three spires, which rise vertically and gradually curve outwards, are intended to evoke the maneuver performed by the Air Force's Thunderbird flight demonstration team called the ``bomb burst.'' (source: Bloomberg.com )

The Memorial as seen at night.

The three spires also represent the three core values of the Air Force—integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all that is done—and the Air Force’s total force: active, guard and reserve.

Embedded in granite beneath the three central spires is the Air Force "star," which has long been emblazoned on Air Force aircraft and serves as the rank insignia of every enlisted member of the Air Force. Other key elements of the Memorial include a Runway to Glory at the site entrance, a bronze Honor Guard statue developed by the renowned sculptor, Zenos Frudakis, two granite inscription walls located at either end of the central lawn and a Glass Contemplation Wall that honors fallen airmen. The Memorial’s surrounding spaces will be landscaped to create a memorial park and parade ground … (source: AirForceMemorial.org

That's awful, a freak storm caused a freak accident.

I saw a segment on the local politics's in the Buffalo area on TV yesterday when I was doing some ironing. Think it was on CNBC but it could have been on FOX, didn't catch the whole story just sounded like everything was in an upheaval. Sorry I don't have more details.
