What a lovely complement MG.
And if you'd care to take a look, this is how I came to be on the planet and why I love both my countries so much!

My folks are going to the official launch of this exhibit on this Friday 15 Feb!

That church show sounds like it was a real inspirational one...

Wonderful story, Louise. Thanks for sharing

Louise,

Jay said, and I agree, that you look a lot like your mom. That's a complement to both of you beautiful ladies.

Shelley

that's so beautiful, Louise!!... thanks for sharing it....

Judy, I remember that weekend so well... the war starting the same day as the concert... that was the year of the "peace pumpkin" .... that night I cried to" Patriot's Dream", as I have many other times... as well as "You are the Song" and "My Peace"... also "My Old Friend" though it's cheery made me smile-cry...after i lost a very close friend....

I had the same thought! What a great story!

And yes, Cheryl, that Church Concert was very inspirational, and probably the most emotional one I've ever been to. I will never forget it!

when a soldier makes it home!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing that beautiful story, Louise.

Glad you enjoyed the story. They have their 65 Anniversary on Feb 20th.
Pretty good going eh!
Everyone says I look like my Mom. In that photo taken in 2006 she is 81 years old and my Dad is 87. I hope I look that good at that age!!!!!

yep kj, My Old Friend does it to me too, makes me think of a few dear friends and a few dear four legged friends I have lost.
