Hey Gals-
EDIT: It's a sad day- Ronald Reagan died today. I know he was old (93), but even so, and whether you're a democrat/liberal or republican/conservative, I think a sadness exists over his passing. I suppose that there is an upside- as with everyone who dies in pain, he is in a place where there is no pain- only happiness. To me, it's sad- it's the end of an era, and he was also part of the "great generation" of people- those who are dying by the thousands every day.
Rick's been on Fox News Live this morning covering the D-Day memorial at Omaha Beach in Normandy. I suspect he'll be on throughout the day and also tomorrow. I was hoping Todd would be covering the Belmont Stakes (as he did last year), but they have someone else there (I forget now who it was, but it was a woman). I think the older I get the more I appreciate and miss my grandfathers. Both were in WWII- paternal granfather in the Pacific and maternal grandfather in North Africa. There are so many questions I would ask. My paternal grandfather died 29 years ago- I was only 6 when he died. My dad's been reading up and making contact with guys he served with (in the Aleutians and on Tinian) over the years to find out more. My maternal grandfather was stationed and fought in North Africa and also bombed the oil fields in Italy, I believe. It's additionally a sad day for me because today he would have been 84 years old. He died when he was 64- 20 years ago this coming August 10th.
So on this somber note....I think I'm going to go and finish cleaning up the kitchen, doing the laundry & go for a walk to work off the waffles of this morning and the sadness I feel right now.
Take care everyone.
