It's a sad day, people all over the world lost family members or friends in this tragedy. It changed the way of the world.

Along with December 7, September 11 will be a date that goes down in infamy. Both were sad days for our country. Thank you for this lovely tribute to the families of 9/11.

Sylvia, I remember this photo. Thanks for sharing. I put you on my 911 remembrance link list on my blog.

What a wonderful moment, in that photo.

One of the things I really loved about visiting America this summer was all the flags. In most countries the national flag hangs at government offices perhaps but that's it; in the US, wow, it's everywhere. Seeing them hanging off front porches and houses was especially moving. I loved it.

One thing we talked about too, while walking 'round the yard sales (it quickly became a favourite pasttime!) was how everyone's flag looked so fresh and clean. In Ireland, even the public flags are often dirty and torn--it's as if they come from the factory that way. We have a burger place in our town that flies the flag and it's a raggy disgrace.

Peace, Sylvia! I hope you have a beautiful, peaceful, event-free weekend to enjoy!

That photo which I have as an 8 x 10 in a frame on my desk is very special to me. I almost used it today also but we had a 9-11ceremony in Vancouver this morning and I used photos from that instead. . . I hope you will drop by and see it.

God bless America!

Sylvia,

I hope that the tragedy of that fateful day will live on in the lives of those left behind. I also hope that we find unity of mind and purpose, representing the spirit of our nation everyday.

We will never be able to forget even if we tried. It's etched in our memories now!

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
