Wesley!
One of my creative pictures...
Wesley again! Or as Char-Char calls him, "Wuh-Wuh"
There were so many things to photograph so to make it easier I just put a bunch in a collage so that you could see them all at once.
What a neat set up this was- and I learned some great things about money, weapons, and customs of the time...still, I am most grateful for Air Conditioning!!
Papaw Charlie and Mr. Fred playing the guitar and banjo!!
Pete- served in the Army, singing... great voice!!
God gives his beloved sweet rest...
Wesley playing with Terri's yo-yo!
This kid comes with strings attached! Ha!!
Tonight we're BBQ-ing hamburgers and hot dogs, pasta salad, steamed long green beans with balsamic vinegar and feta (three simple ingredients- lots of flavor!! Our favorite way to eat them!!), baked beans, chips, pop and Kool-aid for the kids! Hopefully we'll get to watch fireworks tonight if the rain holds off!!
Lastly, I just want to put a thought out there to all our Military men and women. This great land wouldn't be as great as it is without your sacrifice- and the ultimate sacrifice of those that have died for this great land.

An incomplete list of past wars include:
WWI, WWII, Korean conflict, Vietnam...
and more recently, Ground Zero on September 11th, 2001.
On September 11th I saw America not just as a place to live,
a country on a plastic map, or as an untouchable, unattackable, bullet-proof nation-
But as a nation that was breakable but not unbeatable.
A nation that was vulnerable but victorious.
A nation whose soldiers were harmed yet heroic.
A nation that not only had a great anthem but LIVED UP to those last two lines-
where we sing with tear filled eyes and grateful hearts as we wave our flags proudly
"THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE!"
America means MORE to me now
that I have seen the wounds
she can withstand.
America is my home sweet home.
America is the land that I love.
I am PROUD to be an American.
I pray always,
God Bless America!!!
