Big Dog Passes On To Better Place

A True Big Dog passed?Wednesday afternoon.? Our dog Christy went to doggie heaven.? I’m dedicating today’s post to her.?

She wasn’t a big dog in size, but in heart.? She was a cross between a Bassett Hound and a Lab.? She looked like a Lab with no legs or a giant Daschund.

She was courageous, strong, and devoted.? Three qualities that one must have to be a big dog in my book.? She never complained, whimpered, or whined.? She always had a gentle touch with kittens and puppies, yet was strong and firm when necessary.

She accepted every child we had, every kitten or cat we rescued, and every other dog that we brought into the family.? She provided comfort through trials, companionship when we were lonely, and stood watch over us at night.

Christy, you were the best dog on Earth and now Heaven delights in your company.? Until we meet again, we’ll keep looking up…

Your memory lives on through our courage, strength, and devotion.?

Patroit Day - 9/11

A day we should all remember.

Blood of Heroes?

What Color Crayon Are You?

Here is some relief form the burdens of the up and down economy.?

You Are a Yellow Crayon

Your world is colored with happy, warm, fun colors.?? You have a thoughtful and wise way about you. Some people might even consider you a genius. Charming and eloquent, you are able to get people to do things your way. While you seem spontaneous and free wheeling, you are calculating to the extreme. Your color wheel opposite is purple. You both are charismatic leaders, but purple people act like you have no depth. ?

I was hoping for Orange as that is my favorite color

Freedom — A Poem

Freedom is thirteen stripes and fifty stars
A uniform decorated with ribbons and bars
An Iowa farm with its fields of corn
Church bells ringing on a Sunday morn

Freedom is over head missiles, a battle group at sea
For the price of Freedom has never been free
It’s Marines and Soldiers hunkered in a fox hole
A nation banned together in a common goal

Freedom is living and working side by side
To dare to hope and opportunities tried
People coming to the aid of a stranger
Putting their own lives in the path of danger

Freedom is apple pie and the girl next door
A small town with a mom and pop store
It’s baseball, reunions, it’s the forth of July
A lump in our throats as the flag passes by

Freedom is the compassion that we have for our own
Standing shoulder to shoulder when disaster hits home
Our symbol the Eagle, so let Freedom soar
It’s principles and standards, Americans died for
