Been out awhile

[meme]

I know how lucky I am, I have lived in the area all my life.  I was born and raised  2 miles from the blue Ridge Parkway, about 10 years ago I moved to eastern TN to be near my daughter and granddaughters, we are about 2 hours from Gatlinburg, so I have the best of both of those worlds. I don't take it for granted either. Every morning I get up and I look out my back door and see the wonders that God has made.  We are blessed to live in such a country. I come from a long line of military men, all the way back to my great grandfather, WW I, (grandfather) WWII (father) Korean (Uncle) Viet Nam (beloved brother) Gulf war my wonderful son. So on this veterans week long celebration we just don't celebrate one day, we celebrate all year long I want to say a big THANKS TO ALL OUR MILITARY.....we can never say how much we love our men and women in the military.......oh gosh here I want to cry but of course the sogggy want let me cry. I think that is what I miss the most. The ability to cry. I have forgotten what a relieve a good cry could give you. Lordy I have rambled on like a mad woman....Love to all my SJS friends.....
