Had a good day when I took this photo at Topsail Island a couple years ago.
With no disrespect to those who lost their lives fighting for the freedom of this country, this Memorial Day Weekend feels a little different, doesn’t it? At this writing nearly 100,000 American have died at the hands of an enemy we could not foresee.
Still there is time to take pause to remember and be thankful for those whose shoulders lifted the rest of us up to help us stay standing. Thank you. God Bless You.
In Boston, there is this moving place.
They gave it all they had.
New York where the towers fell.
So this year there will be no I – 5 this weekend. I call the Indianapolis 500 the I – 5. Don’t ask me why. I just do.
I mentioned to a cousin in Mississippi yesterday that even though I live 45 minutes from Churchill Downs, not having a Kentucky Derby during the first Saturday in May 2020 did not really phase me much. I watch the race and have some specific memories about it. Most of those memories have little to do with the horse race.
The Indy 500 is different. To know that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway won’t be roaring today makes me sad.
The First Winner 1911 with Ray Harroun behind the wheel.
I always tell my Mother the rain has to start and stop somewhere.
Yesterday I was caught up in proof of it as I walked. Mostly sunny skies behind me and ominous skies in front of me.
When it started to lightning, I did an about face. I did get more than 5 miles in yesterday and that was nice.
The Topsail Beach flag is flapping on the porch.
Take care of each other!
