A Random Memory

 Sawyer and I were just remembering an incident from the last time we lived in this house (yes, second time, same house, Fort Leavenworth).  A squirrel somehow made his way into the house while Mike and I were in downtown Leavenworth playing board games at Meriwether’s.  Sawyer and Sadie, using Sawyer’s light sabers, corralled the squirrel under our giant blue bookcase.  Then...they trapped it by surrounding all of the openings with board game boxes.  Our neighbor, Dan, and I showed up at about the exact same time. We created a path with furniture which lead from the bookcase to the side door, meanwhile there was a flurry of activity beneath the bookcase, boxes were shaking.  We all took our places, brooms, light sabers, chairs...and moved a box.  Our plan worked  and the squirrel scurried across the dining room and out the door.  Good times, good times.

A New Family Picture that does not involve unshowered bodies or matching clothing

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.
