Remembering Daddy On Veterans Day

~ Family, Veterans Day

Hello dear friends. Today is Veterans Day, a day which is set aside for us to celebrate, honor, and pay respect for America’s veterans.

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Since I began blogging, I have written many posts about my Daddy, especially honoring him on Veterans Day. This year I write remembering him for the sacrifice he made for his country!

Daddy was a veteran of the Korean War! Most of my long-time readers know that my sweet Daddy passed away on March 26. As my brother and I were sifting through all that our parents left behind, I found this photo of Daddy, while he was serving in Korea, that I had never seen before. He looks so handsome with a full head of curly (red) hair. Two of our precious grandchildren, Emma and Daniel have his red hair.READ MORE

Sunlight glowing behind and through the pines on a completely clear 40 degree October morning. An owl was giving me a good day hoot, which I guess would be like saying goodnight since it was about his bedtime. Not a bad way for me or the owl to start our morning!READ MORE

“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.”

Greetings for today from the sun, flower that is. Facing east and ready to welcome the morning, (waiting for early clouds to move away), this sunflower is a new one for us. It was part of a seed mix which also contained several other varieties we had never grown. Johnny’s Seeds calls this one ProCut Red/Lemon Bicolor. I believe the name fits it well!READ MORE
