    welcome home Coonie...... fab pictures..... like we were there with you!

    hugs to all, especially Lefty today.

    it's such a somber day for so very many.

    we rejoice in the freedom that has been established by those who've made a personal sacrifice.

    Was thinking about my dad today. He spent 23 yrs in the military and is buried at Camp Butler National Cemetary in Springfield, Illinois.  He enlisted in 1944 and was in more military campaigns and battles than one could think possible. The military sent me his records and medals from all his years of service. He had received numerous  medals for valor and honor during his military career. I only wished I had found out about all of it before he passed on, it would have been nice to talk to him about it.  I even found a picture of him from a newspaper story they had written about him receiving one of the medals, he looked so impossibly young.

    night dream dreams kitten kittens moonNitey nite Shiny ((((((((Hugs)))))))))

    mom2two...  when we had friends over the other night I was excitedly telling them about your Robin whatchamacallit and my friend Sandiy said, "Man the last person on the list is gonna have one heck of a Postage bill...especially if they're sending it to England".  We laughed so hard!

    Then of course these nutty friends were saying I'd probably be the last one on the list and a

    semi-truck would pull up with I-Pod full of stuff from all over the country and world... Guess you had to be there but it was hysterical!

    We are going to try and start connecting in the real world Lucy. Thought maybe something that went from one to the other of us would be fun. Just pm me on here what your address is if you want to join in or if you feel more comfortable you can pm me and I will give you my email address and you can send it to me there. This will be a first for all of us so we may have to learn as we go along. Just keep in mind that building our friendship is the main goal. I think with the wonderful, loving, creative gals we have on here  it will be anything but boring.Smile

    Thank you everyone for your wishes for Memorial Day.  I went over early, and avoided getting trapped when the President arrived.  They do not let anyone in or out while he is there.  It was VERY crowded by the time I left.  

    Call it a "sign" from above - my husb loved to play with rubber bands. As I was walking in from my car, there was one on the ground. I picked it up and used it to put 2 roses over his marker.  Stretched it from the 2 bottom "screws" and put the roses behind it.  

    On the round robin idea:  you could do it in the form of letters and pictures to avoid massive postage costs.  Each person writes a letter and adds it to the others.  However, the persons at the bottom of the list have to wait "forever" for theirs.  With today's technology, you might consider doing a mass email and each person adding pictures as attachments, then sending as "reply to all".   This way everyone gets the email on the same day and no one is left out.  Some servers do limit the number of addresses allowed for one email. Does this make much sense?
