The Sky Captain is Gone Forever




Okay. I felt like I just lost one of my best friends. Is that silly? I cried waiting to give the woman my keys and sign the bill of sale. That vehicle has been everywhere, four years and 80,000 miles. He's travelled from Georgia to Washington, from the Gulf Coast to the Oregon Coast, Savannah and Charleston, Denver, Salt Lake, Portland, Seattle, the Rockies, the Cascades, and the Alps. Italy twice, Austria, France twice, England, little countries in between, all over Germany. We have had so many great family trips and yet there have also been so many times I have driven all alone with the kids and never had a moment's worry. He has been so reliable. You served us well, goodbye Sky Captain. You will be missed.

D-Day, 65 Years Ago Today

I am in awe of all of the brave men that fought on the beaches that day. Their courage is something I cannot even comprehend. I feel very privileged that our family was able to visit the beaches of Normandy and get just the tiniest glimpse of the sacrifice made by so many. I am so proud of our American soldiers, time and again they step up to the plate and do what is asked of them. Thank you.
