I got the last one…
I walked past it at least three times before my Mother-in-Law pointed him out. Of course, there were none left, so I took the display model. Where else would this wonderful decoration need to be?
Yes, I really did…
Today’s strip (November 12,2014) I show my grandmother the video of our wedding. She sees Lauren and I dancing down the aisle to Lezley to Earth, Wind and Fire’s “September.” To prove I did not make that up, and to show that a man in love will do just about anything to make his future wife happy and comfortable, here is the video of me and Lauren.
Veteran’s Day
In remembrance of those who served and who continue to serve on Veteran’s Day and every day. Thank you.
In Flanders Fields
By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
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.
