Another Sunny Sunday!!!

I wish I had taken pictures of the bounty of our garden today.  Steve picked, and we processed, a good full quart of peas and at least a gallon of broccoli today.  They're all snug in the freezer for winter already.  This is very early to start to put food by, and a tremendous blessing!!!  It's still work though....but I'm NOT complaining!!!  We also had enough broccoli to make a big fat bowl of broccoli salad.  Yummmmm!!!  Broccoli, cheddar cheese, bacon, onions... Yeehaw!!
I don't have pictures of that, but I DO have pictures of my son Anthony (ANG) in the Memorial Day events.  God bless him, I am so proud of him!!!

We respect those who have protected us and given the ultimate sacrifice...

And we are sobered by their sacrifice.  We can't ever forget...

And what it all boils down to....the love and freedom of the next generation.  God bless you all if you are in uniform tonight!!!

Derek "Bumpy" Waters - One of My Heroes!!!!!

I present one of my heroes!!!  Derek (Bumpy) Waters!!  He is working so hard for you and for me.  And he's from my home state -- New York!!!  To top that all off, he is from the Bronx -- Don't Mess Wid Me I'm From Da  Bronx!!!  But no, seriously, he is a gentle giant, a true hero, sacrificing his whole self for you and for me, whether we deserve it or not.  He is from the Bronx.  If you're not from NY at all, you might not appreciate that at all.  It's all like "Don't F*** with me, I'm From the BRONX!!!!".  But seriously, Derek is a wonderful human being, a child of God.  He's over there, represting for us!!!  (OK not representing us.  If you're not from NY, you DON'T fully understand that he is REPRESENTING FOR us).  It's a NY thing.  Derek ("Bumpy") we love and appreciate you.  You are our hero here at the Haney Place!!!  We will sleep safely tonight because of you, and we will never forget that.
