Eight Years Later …
Always remember, never forget … I created this image just after September 11, 2001 and each year I post it in memory of everyone who lost their life in the attacks on the WTC towers, the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania, along with the rescuers that gave their lives as well. Its hard to believe its...
A story in six words
Jasmine Star’s hosting a contest — following Hemingway’s lead with writing a story in six words. Well, here’s my entry + the image that inspired it. Arrived. Humbled. Inspired. Captured. Forever changed. I’m in Fredericksburg this weekend sightseeing, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of Weihnachten (Christmas Festival) as well as the activities surrounding...
Mid Week Loves
This week’s edition is charity-themed … I thought about saving it for next week since charity fits in well with Thanksgiving, but decided to share the links a bit early so everyone can start putting them to use earlier Personally, the charities I regularly support include … The Humane Society of the United States Paralyzed...

Once I couldn’t save them from enduring the battle they didn’t deserve. Six years ago in June, I lost my beloved Wilbur…...
The Miracle Man
I saw this article late yesterday afternoon and then arrived home in time to catch a news story about this soldier on ABC World News Tonight. I couldn’t help but cry twice, once while reading the article about this brave soldier, and then while watching the story. He truly was and is an inspiration. Now...
in memorium
Due to a new job where I have absolutely no internet beyond work email, I’ve been lacking in time to post this week, but I did want to post something in remembrance of those that lost their lives earlier this week. Also, don’t forget to take some time out to remember those that lost their...
in remembrance
Four years ago today, I was awakened by a house shaking (I live in a brick house firmed affixed to the ground) and window rattling booming sound. My first thought was the central unit had exploded, but sadly, minutes later, we discovered anything but that had just happened over our heads. I still clearly remember...
