Here's hoping our service members had a good day yesterday - & many more to come. Spoke to our youngest afterschool kids yesterday about what military service is - then we made paper poppies to wear; "Lest we forget."

Up north here in Canada November 11, Remembrance Day is a somber day we recognize the service of our living Vets and remember those who have died defending our freedom and our country's values. 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. ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Lest We Forget They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. Here is a link that might be useful: In Flanders Fields

I'm here, Angela. The WIFI goes down every Sunday, with nobody at the RV park there to reset the router every few hours, but most of the rest of the time it has been holding up OK. I'm just really busy right now, with building the fence to keep the pups safe, and also building in the end of the porch to keep them from escaping that way. I've been dog tired and in bed by 9:30 most nights, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Must install gate hardware, post caps, solar lights and rope light on front porch, and lay some 12"x12" concrete stepping stones for a path from front gate to porch. Then I think I'll have no more major projects! I have a small container garden planted on the south side of the mobile home. It remains to be seen if anything grows :-) Granny Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden

To all of those in the past, to all of those in the present, to all of those in the future. Thank you for serving your country and it's citizens. May God protect you and bless you and your families.
