Afternoon with the Dogs

I finally drug my butt out of bed this afternoon to take some pictures of my dogs enjoying the weather...

Memorial Day

I just got home from the Suffolk County Vietnam Veterans' of America Memorial Day ceremony at Bald Hill. It was the first time I've gone to the ceremony - it was an incredibly moving experience. I'm going to post the lyrics to a Keni Thomas song I think everyone should listen to, and then some pictures from the ceremony.

Corporal Chris Levi Homecoming

Just got home from the homecoming celebration for Corporal Chris Levi of Holbrook, New York. Corporal Levi (U.S. Army) was finally able to come home today after a year-long stay at Walter Reed Army Hospital following traumatic amputation of both legs while on deployment in Sadr City, Iraq in March 2008. The community, led by the Holbrook Fire Department, came together and renovated the Levi home so that Corporal Levi would be able to comfortably return to his family's home and try to resume his life. Welcome home, Chris.

May Flowers

Some photos I snapped yesterday of the flowers already blooming in my mom's garden, and the flowerpot cupcakes I made for Mother's Day...

New England Weekend - Sunday

Last day in Maine and the drive home...
