My final 3 days flew … no, I actually drove long hours, many miles … across Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico to Arizona … to arrive home! Yeah!

Home … yes, here in the USA! There are many things to be proud of and thankful for as an American, especially as we commemorate this day, Memorial Day.

Now home, I hope to get back to projects helpful to people in my community, my own workout routine with healthier meals, and time for activities I did not do while traveling. Yet I enjoy birds; time in nature is the best calming force in my life! 

Thank you to all who served and now serve in the various Armed Forces for this country … so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have here. Most appreciative and again, thank you!
