Happy Flag Day Everyone and WHAT A BIG DOG !

Happy Flag Day ! Our neighborhood always looks so nice on national holidays as there are alot of flags out. We fly our flag every day. We started during Jeremy's deployment and have kept it up. Now that they changed the rules on flying flags we can leave it up all the time and not be bringing it in at night.
I have 2 favorite flags. This is the one Jeremy brought to us in 2006 from his first deployment. He flew it for us hanging in the back cargo area of the C17 during many missions. I framed it with photos and neat sayings and it hangs in the hallway along with...the certificate that listed all the places in the war zone he went as part of the Air Lift Squadron. What a treasure. This is the other favorite flag. He flew this one for us in his C17 on his first mission as the actual Air Craft Commander on his 2nd deployment in 2008 going into Balad and Mosul Iraq . On the back he put the actual paper authorizing the governments release of the Aircraft and five member crew into his possession.
I'm on the hunt for the perfect frame for it.

Ken and I had a very relaxing early morning with a walk at the Riparian preserve and then breakfast at Paradise. It's one of our favorites as you can sit outside and enjoy the cool mornings. This is one of my favorites there, Ken is laughing now as I"m taking this picture of my food ! It's a vegitarian omelet and if you get it with no cheese and no sour cream sauce and ask for the whole grain bread it's not really to bad for you !


While we were sitting there we saw the BIGGEST dog we've ever seen. This gentle giant walked up and we were wondering if he had a saddle ! His name was Sam and he's a Great Dane, only 1 1/2 years old so she said he still had 6 months of growing. Can you believe it !


Sam is famous now as he made "the " blog ! So I'm off to do some cooking as Chris and MB are coming over for dinner tonight. Time for some home made mexican food !

  1. Oddly enough a Great Dane is exactly the kind of dog Brian wants to get someday. After seeing how big Sam is I may have to convince him otherwise :) I love a morning with a good walk and then a fun breakfast out...wish I could have been there!
