I am biased. LOL

Who cares if you are biased. I sure do not.

Memorial day, a day of remembrance. A day we need be mindful of the ultimate sacrifices given. Too often I see freedom taken for granted. Like bitching about some little thing about the weather when you are living in paradise, but loose sight of the most significant part you enjoy unparalleled freedom. But, freedom comes with huge sacrifices that many know painfully so personally. My heart goes out to all of you who live with that experience. Ten years of living in a land where freedom is eschewed taught me its value. A mission this summer will be to install a flag pole (may need a barn here) so I can fly our country's flag. I want a daily reminder of how fortunate I am to live in the land of the free and to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

To you for the price you paid.

Now I best make sure Sunshine does not elope lol

lol lol Haha my sweet. Have no fears, this girl is off the market. lol lol

That's awesome Becky, 20 years. Wow! Good for you guys. I really hope all your kids can make it home. That would be a very special moment I'm sure.

THANK YOU ALL!

Think you done good there TPP.
My son gets to umbrella under 2 of those symbols.
(Can you tell I am proud of him)

Don't know your hubby yet, but from what I see of your posts he is a lucky dude. Twenty years speaks volumes and I take that as an indicator you are a lucky woman as well. Congratulations.

Nice job TPP!

Thx so much guys. I think I am the really lucky one to have him put up with me all these years.
