Friends, here now, gone away, firecrackers, and memories



Happy Picnic Day... a day to catch up on yard-work, eat way too many grilled goodies, gather to watch enormously expensive explosions...remember those gone and, hopefully, look ahead with hope.


Independence Day - 4th of July... Happy Birthday America...

Get to know who we are - where we came from - READ for yourselves.


Find a good history book.. I recommend, ironically enough written by a Brit, "A History of the American People" by Paul Johnson...



Meanwhile (like playing a rerun or listening to "The Best of Crane")- I suggest a revisit to an older post - for those who have lost a friend...

realize good friends come and go and it does not make them less good, just gone...
