Sorry about the commercial as it was placed by the spo9nsors on the front of this great piece of music from Private Ryan and the video. I apologize for it being there if it offended.

“cycled 500 km through…71 hours…

Is this where the annual Tour of France bike ride originated from?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you and Blue enjoy an outing today?

We had a sunny day and I got some lawn watering done and a little time to sit out in the sun.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, whitney69...thank you for the beautiful Hymn To The Fallen.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Not to worry....

[wjcsux]

I was an avid reader of military history when I was growing up. I remember reading a book about Nancy Wake many years ago. Quite an amazing woman and hero.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, spel, and thank you for the tunes. ((HUGS))

Nice assortment.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...she was that!

Some resting and finally some sun for the weekend.

Nancy Wakes
All the medals!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...hope the rain stayed away and you and Champ were able to attack the long, long grass.

I was able to get some sun time and get some watering done.
