I hate the fact that hip huggers have come back into style. Every time I see a teen bend over I'm reminded that crack kills.

Love that flag pic! Reminds me of the Johnny Cash (?) song "Dirty old Flag" (or something like that--it always makes me cry!)

An Army Mom's Prayer

God Bless my son as he falls to sleep
I pray this night the peace to keep.

When he wakes to start the day I pray
that love will lead the way.

If there's danger and if there's strife
Please send Angels to guard his life.

Keep him safe and free from fear
Bless my soldier and keep him near.

Until he's home Until he's safe
Bring peace to our hearts
And strength to our faith.
By Lisa Gifford
(Army Mom)

Fads?

 

You likely have no idea about the great "Clacker fad" of the early 1970s.

 

These big marbles had twine coming out of them and the were paired and attatched to a ring. One would swing them together and they would "clack" as they smacked each other at the speed of sound. The fad lasted for at least 6 months.

 

YoYos were another, but that was before my time, along with hula hoops.
