I cannot say it better than this wonderful woman did. She is a young military wife whose husband is deployed, fighting the war. To see her original post click this link: Every Day . Her blog address is http://sissyben.blogspot.com . Here's what she wrote: Monday, May 28, 2007 Every Day For a week or more I've been thinking about my post for today. I wanted to write something inspiring, something worthy of the sacrifices of the men and women who have served and fallen. Worthy of their families who lost them.There quite simply are no words.Today I was in public for awhile, around "normal" people. I overheard a conversation of some ladies behind me... "Oh! I forgot today was Memorial Day!" one lady said with a giggle. I wanted to bitch slap her, but I just kept walking.This morning I realized that for some of us, Memorial Day isn't just a Monday in May. For some of us, Memorial Day is every day. Every day I see the news of troops falling in combat and I cr...

Hi Susan, I wanted to get this picture to you – Brittany and I put a flag at your dad’s gravesite this morning. We were there with the Girl Scouts helping to put flags on the grave sites [for Memorial Day]. Take care! Melonie Melonie, We are all moved by your kindness, for honoring Dad and also for teaching Brittany the importance of honoring our veterans. Thank You sounds so trivial, but please know it comes from my heart. Love, Susan

They make the sunset look good, don't they?

Newly Weds and their parents

The wedding party, left to right: Shelley's 2 sisters, Caitlin Chambers and Maid Of Honor-Erin Chambers, Shelley & Paul Lowe, Best Man-Nathan Lowe and Seth Glenn.

Under the canopy... Paul and Shelley Lowe

Paul Lowe married Shelley Chambers April 28th 2007, on the beach in Fort Walton Beach Florida at sunset. It was beautiful! Check out the photos above, posted by (Mom) Kerry (Walker) Lowe.

Saw this amazing bird in our backyard at dawn - so beautiful. The OTHER birds however were quite upset at his appearance, and the bunnies went running for cover. Anyone have any idea what kind of bird he is? From his head and legs it is obvious he is a raptor of some kind, but whether he's a hawk, eagle, or what I have no idea. But it made my day just watching him! (Click on an image to enlarge it.)

Acacia is graduating from High School! Is this girl beautiful AND smart, or what??!! Of course, no grandma-type prejudice here.... Click on the photo to see it larger.

On the right is my long, long, long time friend Mona... had a great time visiting with her, but there just was not enough TIME.

We also had a lovely visit with Uncle Richard et al...

Adi washed the dishes after Shabbat dinner (!!!!) while others relaxed, read the newspaper, or watched Eran teach Susan to play Mancala.

Deborah made the challah bread and Vernon gave the blessing... Deborah, Eran, Ariel, Efrat, Adi... Sherry, Papa, Mom, Deborah, Eran, Ariel, Efrat, Adi...

Hi, Susan here again... per Big Sister's Decree. I will add to her post by adding a couple of pics of people we've been visiting and places we've been. Here's Jan Weston being hugged by an estatic Ethel, with Chet in the background. I'll have more pics of the B'nai Shalom group soon and will post them then. And this is me playing The Fifty Foot Woman at Mini-Israel... Here we are in BeerSheva, at the Ethiopian Folk Craft Center. The woman on the left is an Israeli who has been helping Ethiopian Jews who have emigrated to Israel commemorate their past. She says it is difficult because so many of them just want to forget the awful life they had in Ethiopia, but "it is necessary to remember where we came from." So she helps them remember by having them create pottery and clay statues as they did in Ethiopia, so their children will know what life was like before they came to Israel. She is creating a museum of valuable folklore, not to mention the pricele...

This is Sherry blogging for Susan... The first picture is of the front of our house, taken on Israel Independence Day, the day Susan, Jan and Gloria arrived. I had trimmed the roses as Dad had instructed me, and the results are obvious. The second picture is a closeup of the red amarylis by the front steps, a gift from Vernon many years ago. The flowers this spring have been particularly spectactular, due to all the late rains. The third picture is of Ariel's vineyard out back, which is loaded with tiny tiny grapes. We've been racing around visiting people and places, and for that, I'll turn you all over to Susan...
