A Few Milestones

I'll hit this spot one last time in May to:

Register my appreciation to the soldiers, sailors, marines, and MASH units of every generation for stepping up and serving.  Thanks, thanks, and thanks again.

 My flag is flying and I'm reminding you that you can send a letter of support.  Get an address at Soldiers' Angels and give someone a smile when that letter arrives.  I hate to think that our people who are serving in Afghanistan feel that they are forgotten or left unsupported.

Plus I'll tell you that we have bought a car.  A brand spankin' new one with the new car smell and the whole magilla.  It joins our fleet of Toyota Camrys.  We are selling the red car and keeping the green car (for me).  It is old and reliable and I love that car.

Our ride over to the car dealer in a nearby town was so pleasant yesterday.  The farm fields are blushing green, the trees are budding, the woods are full of trilliums, and the sun was shining.  It's a beautiful world---if you don't watch the news.

I wish you a pleasant weekend.  Have a cookout and a good time, but remember the solemn reason for the long weekend.
