Change Is Hard

Don’t let them down

At our tiny local cemetery flags fly for our Veterans.

Today is Veteran’s Day here in the US.  It’s a day when we remember those that have and still serve in the armed forces and we express our appreciation for their sacrifices.

A World War I Veteran rests.

It hasn’t been a week since the election.  Maybe your guy won.  Maybe your guy lost.

There’s a story to be told right on this marker.

Regardless, how about we make an effort to work together now, starting on this Veteran’s Day.

The founding family of our small town served.

We can move forward together, compromise, fix stuff, make this a better place to live.   For all of us.  Most of all, let’s not let these Veterans down.  We can make them proud of us if we work together.   Heck, we could be proud of ourselves.  And that counts too.

So many have served over such a long time.

Let’s not squander the gift we’ve been given.  Freedom isn’t something to waste.

Thank you.

October Photo Hunt

Karma threw a real challenge our way for her October Photo Hunt.  She’s looking for photographic images of idioms.  You know idioms, those funny little sayings that we use without thinking.   She wants us to find three.  Carol already has already posted; Scott and others have too.

It’s getting late, the deadline is October 31st.  So here you go.  Don’t forget you can click on the photos to make them larger…the better to see the amazing detail!  LOL!

I’m not going to label them, at least not right away.

That’s so you can have more fun trying to figure out which idiom they might be.

And in case they’re not that obvious to you, which would be my fault not yours, here are the answers!

1.  Let sleeping dogs lie.

2.  Birds of a feather flock together.

3.  Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

Karma is giving out extra credit – if we post something something for Halloween…

…so here’s my neighbor’s house at dusk.  He’ll take these lights down on November 1st and start putting up his Christmas lights.  We get to enjoy holiday lights without any of the work!

Katie says…

“Happy 4th of July!” to all of you.

And she reminds us that freedom is not free.  Please take a moment to remember all of those people that work so hard to make sure we stay free.  And especially those that have died keeping us safe.

Everybody – – stay safe out there this holiday weekend!
