Good morning, GeeBee.

Just stopping by with my Memorial Day Weekend offering, which will probably be my only post for awhile - or, at least until I get to feeling better. (I've been suffering with awful allergies and feeling too miserable to even care about being on my computer.)

I hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend.

Remember Our Fallen Heroes....

In Flanders Fields
...Lt. Col. John McCrae


In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
