Memorial Day has been a rainy day, Monday, hang in the house and reflect day, the angels must be bowling a tournment day. Texas thunder storms can be quite exciting. No fireworks display compares to our lightening, crazy light patterns across the sky and bolts that come straight down, hopfully miles away. Standing at my living room windows watching the show I caught the moment one of my favorite trees was over powered by a gust of wind and fell over with a whomp, an encore I could have lived without. Lots of memories in that old mesquite tree. A few yards away just outside my door the pretty little flowers I planted the day before were no worse for the wear nestled safe in an old wooden planter box. So it goes.
Back to Memorial Day, a Chevy commercial has real soldiers returning home from deployment surprising their children. Reactions both heart warming and heart breaking at the same time. The raw emotion says it all. Today is the day set aside to honor our fallen military heros. I think Congress and the president should watch how children and families are affected by deployment. Sending our precious national treasures to fight others wars should be a very last resort. Life, theirs and ours is so very precious. Have a great week and thank a Vet. kisses
God bless America.
