Hope you are having a beautiful Monday.

I am having a perfectly lovely & lazy Monday.:)

Complete with not one but TWO emails from my soldier; just small ones, nothing important, but even a small email tells me he's okay and that is BIG.:-)

[MozartLover]

OH, I love that. Lavendar is, like, my favoritest thing in the world! :-)

[ConorMacNessa]

Good afternoon, Lady J! It must be summer - my first daylily bloomed today.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

GOOD MILITARY MONDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!

The Soldier’s Code

1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Corporal Stephen Bolger - British Special Forces - KIA 30MAY2009

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

Amazing Grace



Black Watch Piper

Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Thank you Amy - those flowers look so fresh, I can almost smell them! (AND the frame!)

[DollyCali]

so great to hear from your son.. I wish mine was a “communicator”.. he isn’t. When I call HIM we have great chats but rarely does he call me & he doesn’t do computers or snail mail. I dont do snail mail either.

praying for Ev.. as always

Our daylilies might be a couple weeks behind you.

It has stayed cool here for the most part and blooming has been delayed this season. Love the cool!

[jaycee]

Amy, I thought I would have more time to be on the thread but when I did stop working, I was too exhausted. I wanted to tell you how cool your greeting to me was. Simple but outstanding! Thanks!!!!

[yorkie]

Aw, thanks, Dolly! They are about the sweetest dog in the world (at least mine is!) lol

[JustAmy]

Glad to hear that you heard from your son.

Happy Lavender Monday. :)

RIP, Corporal Stephen Bolger - British Special Forces.
Thank you for your service. Thank you for your sacrifice.

May God be with your family as they grieve for you.
Father, please Bless and Comfort the family of Corporal Stephen Bolger. Amen

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Yorkie.

I need to make some new flower and bird graphics. I think I have used most of the ones I have.

Have a lovely evening.

[JustAmy]

I had a dentist appt this afternoon. I needed another filling! Ughhhh.

Hope this is the last one for a few years. If he can’t save this tooth, he will need to replace it with a two tooth bridge.

I missed my afternoon nap. Oh Well .... maybe I will get two tomorrow. :)

[Kitty Mittens]

Oh, Amy, that is One of the Prettiest Sights I have Ever Seen; that Bird is a Beautiful Color, and the Frame is Outstanding, just Perfect for the Pic! Thank you for this Beautiful Blessing!

Sending Wishes for Sweet Dreams to All FRiends. God Bless! Our Lord Grant us All a Restful and Peaceful Night.
