Mornin' FR's Finest... Hostesses.

That flag on the hilltop has got to be a beautiful site, Billie.

Military Monday, eh? We're entertaining and being entertained by a WWII vet this week ~ my father-in-law. He was a submariner aboard the USS Tinosa (SS-283). On his drive home on Thursday, he will be stopping to visit a shipmate from so many years ago. Would love to be a part of that reunion to hear them swap sea-stories.

Salute to George and Red as well as all Armed Forces and Veterans. Thank You for your service.

Thanks, Dave - love that photo of the USS Tinosa (SS-283). And know you're enjoying your father-in-law - bet the two of you have lots of stories to swap - comparing the different times in the Navy.

Amy, love your post to Dave!

Yes, that flag is such a beautiful sight - I looked forward to 'getting' there to see it again both going AND coming. :)
