Happy Veteran’s Day

November 11th, 2007 . by Cary

Hope this day finds you all well.

Last night, TMBWitW, MEG, and I were privileged to join a fellow blogger for dinner. Greybeard was in town with his lovely wife (Sara Jean) on their way home from vacation in Hawaii. Their son, Big Bubba, lives in Mesa, and the opportunity to put faces and voices to words was taken.

Greybeard blogs anonymously. Wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise.

I got a note from a Marine veteran of the second world war; I am waiting to hear from him as to whether I can share it with all of you. Believe me, it is well worth the wait.

Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!

First, Happy 232nd Birthday to my Marine Corps brothers and sisters!

Second, may this Veteran’s Day find you all deep in conversation with a veteran, involving the phrase “Thank you for your service.” (Confidential to all my vet friends, family, and passers-by: Thank you for your service.)

Third, did you wear red yesterday?

Fourth, this was Thursday’s home improvement project:


This is the old sink. TMBWitW has been dropping subtle hints (“This sink shows EVERY MARK!”) since we moved in, and it has only taken seven years to find the right replacement sink.


This is the brand new shiny stainless steel model. The bowls are eight inches deep, as opposed to the old bowls that were only six inches deep. TMBWitW is very happy with the new sink. Total time: 2.5 hours. including a quick run to Lowe’s because somebody forgot the plumber’s putty…

Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!
