    This is pretty neat, Susan. Somehow it is not easy to imagine armed forces with pink cause pink is so dainty and I associate armed forces with being fierce and strong. But thanks for the reminder of their service. I appreciate them very much!...Christine

    Such a great reminder of families that give so much. I was an Air Force pilot's wife. It's good to see the women have brought in some pink now! I suspect it is the wives. Happy Pink Saturday! Jane Wayne gear has lots of cute pink stuff with a military theme. They are/were wives!

    Hi Susan, taking a little break before heading out to see friends here in AZ.

    I love all those military pinks! The baby gears are so cute!

    Graduation was more than I expected. I can't rely on the wi-fi here in the hotel, so I have to wait to upload more pictures.

    Have a great Saturday!

    Thank you for the reminder about Armed Forces Day. Thank goodness we fly our flag every day. We have been so busy trying to clean up our yard after such a long, cold winter, I have to admit, I didn't give it a thought.
    I was surprised to get the message that you TWITTER.
    Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    I've been cleaning all day. There always seems to be so much to do. I want to go by Lowe's tomorrow and get some flowers and ferns to hang on the porch.

    John had a very good day. Like his old self. He worked all day.

    We grilled burgers tonight. So good! I haven't had a burger in forever. I've been on a diet and lost 15 lbs so far.
