Sixth Floor Museum

Yesterday Ruth and June's daughters invited us to go with them down to the JFK Museum for the day. All of us ladies together made for a very eventful trip.

We weren't allowed to take pictures or video in the museum, so these were taken just outside the elevators which took us to the "sixth floor".

Afterwards, we walked to the Spaghetti Warehouse from the museum and had an enjoyable luncheon together.

After our trek back to the vehicles, we quickly gathered the troops and barely reached cover before the rain started pouring down. What a lovely ladies' day out we had!

To Daddy

There are many examples to follow in life,
many men who are deserving of praise.
Whether doctors, or lawyers, or soldiers of war-
they've given in so many ways.

But of all the men who've accomplished it all-
of all the great leaders we've had-
not one will ever begin to compare
with the example I've had in my dad.

He's taught me his values,
he's raised me with love,
he's always shown me his respect;
and though his name may never appear in bright lights,
he's one man you'd never forget.

My dad is my leader, my pattern for life,
and on him I can surely depend.
For I know he will be there with arms open wide
to be my example- my friend.

Little Miss

Little Miss Ringlet

Stood at the driblet

Washing her face today

Along came the water

Which splashed all about her

Wiping the sleep away

Little Miss Wiglet

Looked for a towelette

To wipe the wet away

When it was drier

She smiled and admired

Her face as she started the day.
