So the Maryland WalMarts are the same as the Minnesota WalMarts huh? There are a very diverse group of people shopping at WalMarts.<br />Hope you do feel better tomorrow. <br />I had a wonderful surprise waiting for me when I walked in the door after church today...my son came for a visit from Cincinnati! The same son that I bought a new car to make the drive to visit HIM in Cincinnati at the end of this very week. HA! That's Okay though, it is wonderful to see him, and we went out with a group of his friends (24 yrs younger than us!) and had a wonderful time. They are our having a bonfire at this very moment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158552293122204249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-12356679103317214462011-06-19T19:44:06.841-04:002011-06-19T19:44:06.841-04:00Welcome to Box of Chocolates.

The last 48 hours have been sort of rough: The Colonel (Ret.) went on his first Space A (space available, last priority seats given to retired military) adventure to Germany with my son who was on active duty for summer training. They had a great time, but the Colonel didn't make the cut for the return flight on Thursday! He finally broke down and decided to buy a commercial ticket after hanging out in the airport for two and half days! <br />He should make it home in the wee hours of Monday morning!<br />Feel better now? {smiles}FireLighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807248509319526615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-69343867155555634052011-06-19T07:55:41.779-04:002011-06-19T07:55:41.779-04:00Thank you all for your touching comments and the p...Thank you all for your touching comments and the personal e-mails you have sent to check up on me.

And from what you said, this is much closer to home than the general sadness of the human condition..... I'm glad you've got someone to take some beautiful pics that hopefully bring a smile to your soul. If not, we can all pitch in and buy Beth a plane ticket so she can come over and put that sieve on her head and try to hold a serious conversation. You'd have to tape it so I could get a good smile from it, too :)<br /><br />PS: the closing song of Les Mis has been a good one lately for speaking to my melancholy....turn it up if you have it and have a good cryJaneKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-60069102715120440332011-06-18T22:05:35.669-04:002011-06-18T22:05:35.669-04:00P.S I am sure you looked great !P.S I am sure you looked great !Country Gal https://www.blogger.com/profile/08693944554850315123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-53019761264892332902011-06-18T22:04:09.478-04:002011-06-18T22:04:09.478-04:00I have to been there , hiding from the world it...I have to been there , hiding from the world it's human and it to will get better with time!
