  Well so far there is bread. Massive rains here suggest the possibility of climate change ruining crops. Seriously, now rain makes me nervous.

Outstanding photograph, Mike. The cloud shapes reflected in the ground shapes, with the contrasting wheat sandwiched in between.

  I am an old album, Kat. There are three things that happen to you when you get old….the first one is you start to lose your memory………and I can’t remember the other two.
  I’ll be here all week, try the roast beef, and remember to tip your waiter.
  And thank you, dear.

    Hi Mike,
    I actually volunteer to help with our Memorial Day Program. Have for years … I love hanging out with the Vets and it’s an honor to be a part of that group.
    I did however try to have an international skype chat with several of my blogging gals this evening but my *^#$* internet kept disconnecting!
    How was your day?

    That is a nice thing you do Laurie. I can’t even talk with a WW ll vet without getting emotional. Save the world they did, each a hero.
    My day was spent in two parts. Loading the motorhome for our breakout 2 night trip on Wed to make sure it is good to go to lake Huron for 3 weeks June and July. Also spent some time with a friend shooting pool. Nice day.

    Have fun this week on the pre-game / pre-trip!
