Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

Editorial Comment

As you know we have been occupied with the saying of goodbye to our great-great-nephew this weekend.
Today we laid him to rest.

Today's postings are delayed due to the time we took today to be with our family. Especially our great-nephew and his wife in this time of their grief at the loss of their infant son.

Today this blog is just fluff and fill - no real substance ... basically a lot of pictures.
Tomorrow we will be back on our regular schedule.

Accroches-toi a ton reve

Accroches-toi a ton reve
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton reve.
