 September 11, 2011 - A Weekend We Won't Forget

Flag


In respect of those who lost their lives on that fateful day 10 years ago, I am not going to try to write some profound prose that will send everyone searching for a tissue box.  People more worthy than I have written, spoken, sung and prayed both for those who died in honor and those who lived to tell their stories.

 


Hopefully we have all learned a lot about ourselves, our families, our communities and our country since that day.  I know we have.  We learned that life is short and that you are never guaranteed to see another sunrise or sunset.    Therefore, when you are so blessed to enjoy one or the other - be still and enjoy.

We learned that friends and family can be taken from you in the blink of an eye and that you should value relationships.  When you have a chance to spend time with those you care about that you should enjoy it to the fullest.



We had that opportunity this weekend.  Four friends together.   Laughing, cooking, eating, motorcycle riding and simply enjoying life.

Thank you to our friends Jerry and Vicki for sharing their camper at the Lake with us.  It truly was a memorable weekend!!!

Good customer service is a priority !

You are so right, tomorrow is not promised to anyone, so we need to live each day like it is our last. Make sure to tell your loved ones how you feel about them, because you never know when it's going to be the last time you see someone.

Great post~~~Thanks!

It is so important to share good times with friends and family, Cyndi. It was a tough weekend. Thanks for sharing your photos of a relaxing time.

Louis - this is so true.  I cannot imagine the pain of the wife or the husband who perhaps were having a little tif that morning and didn't say "I love you" before leaving.  Or the Mom (or Dad) who yelled at their kids on the way out the door rather than giving a hug.  Those left behind will carry that with them forever.

Toni it was indeed a tough weekend.  But we should remember that as a country we have held strong in the face of adversity!!!

I love those mud bugs with corn on the Cob too....but I like them extremely spicy. Enough to burn your lips.
