Memories....

I'm sure most of you know what this is....
Share some memories if you like... ;-)

I was very young when they got ride of ours to build a 4 lane highway, but I remember sitting on our side porch as a kid and watching the screen flicker from a couple miles away. By the time I was old enough to go, it was pretty much desolate since they had opened a two room theater in town. Shortly after it got torn down... what a shame. I'm sure some of you have some pretty awesome memories... I would love to hear about them... :-)

In Honor of Veteran's Day...

“We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.”

Thank the soldiers, who cling to their guns and religion…
so that we might be free.


I apologize for not posting this yesterday. I wanted to find one that "felt" right to me. I got this one off MOTUS, it gave me chills. 

November 11 is a very conflicting day for me. This year, it marked the 17 year anniversary of my little brother's passing. I made a short story post about him on October 8, his birthday. No matter how many years pass by, the pain never really goes away...

A little reminiscing....


It's my little brother's birthday today. He would be 35. I lost him barely a month after his 18th birthday on November 11, 1995 in a car accident, Remembrance Day of all days. Way too young to have experienced what life could offer. He was a sweet, stubborn boy with a big heart, would have done anything for a friend.  He had a silly streak and loved to make people laugh. Not afraid to get into trouble, he managed to have a few run ins with the law, nothing major, mostly things to laugh about. Like getting chased by the cops in a potato field and ending up having to spend the night in jail.  Or the halloween the year before were he and his friends decided to go trick or treating with nylon socks on their heads with their hands in their pockets. Now keep in mind, he was a tall boy with 13 size shoes, in other words... I think they scared the shit out or a few people. Now the Last halloween he and his friends, including me, decided we would all go drive around and throw eggs and water balloons at unsuspecting trick or treaters, you know, the usual. 
Well his luck would have it that the first victim he picked was an undercover cop car with his window down... shit!!  The cop put his balloon on top of his car and u turned around on a dime right behind us. Too much traffic to pull an attempt at a run for the potato field. We had to pull over. Oh the joy of having a light shone in your face for having a garbage bag full of unused water balloons by your side in the back seat, yeah that was me. I was red as a beet :P We ended up surrounded by 3 cop cars, all the cops of our little town until they got called away to a real emergency. As far as I can remember all we got where warnings. What where they gonna do? Fine us for trowing eggs on bacon? ;-)
