Saturday Morning Breakfast

Posted in Family, and Holidays

During the week, D eats waffles that I have made and frozen for him. (I’m not getting up that early and making waffles. lol!)  If for some reason there are no waffles ready, he’ll eat cereal, but he prefers the waffles. I always wonder if he’ll get tired of them, but he doesn’t. It’s just something that works for us. Most Saturday mornings, you will find D in the kitchen cooking breakfast.

In Flanders Field

Posted in Holidays, and Military Life

 Image courteousy of Wikipedia 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…
