I had the privilege of visiting Patton’s grave in Luxembourg two years ago. He rests as he lived, at the head of his troops.

Howdy, radu! Hope your weekend was nice...and NO violent storms!

We had quite a windy day today. A dry wind that turned my beautiful rose blooms into crispy critters. *sigh*

Hope it rains soon! Supposed to, but I’ve heard those promises before!

Patton liked to Pop off his 1911 at aircraft that were strafing him, A useless gesture as I have been on the receiving end, (yer not lobbing that up here) but it sure upped the moral and that was the point.
He led them into battle

I wish he was still around. I would have loved to have heard his comments on Obama.

That would have been "amusing". d:o)

Patton learned a lot from his mentor, General John “Black Jack” Pershing.

Howdy, LUV!

Dang that wind ruining your beautiful roses. That sucks pond water. :-(

Gorgeous weekend here. Clear with highs close to 80. It was windy today, though not the dry wind like y’all have.
Rain moving in Tues. but no storms expected.

I wish the rain would wait one more day. There’s a cruise-in at Chik-Fil-A Tues. evening that I planned to take Baby to but it looks like we’ll stay home. Rain chances for several days after too.

We wonder if the fields will be plowed tomorrow ahead of the rain. The day after I took a pic of the front field, they came out to hit the wheat with Round-Up and today they spread fertilizer. The ground’s dry enough now but who knows how much more rain will come in next week? I expect to wake up to the sounds of them plowing tomorrow.

Now there's another thing I want you to remember: I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose.
