Magpie Tales Sorry if you have to squint to read.....

Supermoon 2013, Julio Cortez, AP

Good old Liberty
Always there
Dependable
Romantic and
Challenging
Looks down on us
She stands high
Midst the reconstruction
Or is it destruction?

I apologize for this poorly designed post,
 however Blogger was just a wee bit malfunctioning
and many of us were not impressed
nor happy with this situation.
It's fixed now by my loading Google Chrome
and deep sixing IE8.

Lest We Forget


Let Freedom Ring
Large or small
Our flag stands for all of us
We are so fortunate to live here
In a country that has freedoms
That others still seek

~~~~~~~~~ 
Today my oldest son and I put flowers 
on his grandparents grave..... I had not
been there before and I found it amazing
that his Grandmother's grave just says
"His Wife" .... Really?
How about "Beloved wife, mother and blessed friend"? 


Thanks Mary for helping me raise my wonderful two sons.
