In Canada we call it "Remembrance Day". The ones that we remember on this occasion are mainly the ones who lost their lives on the field of battle, and their service was completed at that time. We require that women and men be in top condition to join the military services. During their military service, many are grievously injured, in body, mind and/or emotion or spirit. For many, those injuries reduce their capacity to carry on and enjoy their lives well for years, even throughout the rest of their lives. When those who have served come home so broken, even to be unable to provide for themselves, and their families, their nation owes them to take care of them. We have not fulfilled those obligations well, as many of our veterans have not been able to provide for themselves and are among the homeless, wandering our streets. A substantial number, losing hope, take their own lives. We need to publicize this issue and build support among our citizenry for helping them, then our Department of Veterans' Affairs and our governments to care for these people who provided such loyal service at such great personal cost. ole joyful

I heard this comment on TV yesterday so I made a meme. I feel so young, "memeing". I keep giggling when I look at it.. nothing like laughing at your own joke!

I took my cat to the beach. . . . (Not really, I don't have a cat.) Rusty

Wow! Fun, thank you! I did try a search, "Maid at pantry window" and scrolled through a bunch but didn't see this particular painting. Again, thanks. I found a site that sells and bookmarked it.
