America’s longest running war continues in Aghanistan. Cinese New Year was once more celebrated with firworks as it has been for 1400 years. We are busy trying to make the war in Afghanistan beat that record.
John and Ana Betar celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary on November 25, 2012. They have been declared America’s longest married couple. At 101 (John) and 97 (Ann) they are an inspiration to many.
The Hug Lady, 72-year old Elizabeth Laird, is the official hug lady of Fort Hood, Texas. Bravo! Too often in arguing U. S. involvement in foreign affairs – from wars to peace keeping and security – it is the troops who get forgotten, or criticised, or besmirched. It is often the veteran who gets neglected upon return to civilian life.
After months of months, there is rain outside my window. I’m afraid to go outside. This is, after all, Kansas, and water melted the Wicked Witch, so it makes me wonder if I’ll melt should I get wet.
