Wild

When the storms whip up the ocean, here on the coast, we can expect to see some driftwood.  Sometimes the beaches are covered with huge trees and so much driftwood you cannot see much of the sand.   

In Arizona they have Javelins, or is it Javelinas,  roaming the gardens.  Bob and Andrea haven't told me if they have adopted any for prize pets . . . I don't think so.  I'm sure I wouldn't go out the door until they were long gone.



Some ingenious person thought to put a sticker on a hand dryer machine in a rest room.   Well, we all have to have our say one way or another, after all we do have Freedom of Speech still . . . so far I haven't heard anything to the contrary.
There was a quote I read yesterday with no one to give credit to . . ."Four boxes keep us free:  The soap box, the ballet box, the jury box and the cartridge box."   
So it is Saturday again, so fast, seems like we just started the month of February and it is already almost the end of it.   We see signs of spring as the yellow jonquils are raising up out of the ground.   How nice it is to look out and see a little bright color springing up out of the cold ground.   
I told you I have been reading to a ninety-five year old veteran of World War II and got stood up this week as he had a chance to visit the casino and off he went....so much for a date with me....but I learned a lot about Wake Island and its history only to have an attachment come in yesterday about the celebration of the history of the China Clipper and it turned out to be the first airplane that was introduced to stop a the fuel depot that was build on the island.  If you would like to follow up on the stories, I copied the https.   Really informative and wonderful videos of  long ago events that must have been exciting to those who traveled from the United States to the Philippines.

    So use a few of your seconds to enjoy a bit of history today.   I wish I could show these to our veteran as he would enjoy them.    I am hoping to catch up with him this week as I would like to know how the book ends too.  Wake Island was one of the stops and it was just a small dot on the Pacific ocean.   I wonder what it is like today, probably a vacation spot.   Enjoy your weekend, eat a hardy breakfast, get out for a walk around the block and then do some of the things you want to do on your weekend, no resting on your laurels, get out and do something fun.   Start with a smile in your eyes  and open up those arms and walk into a big hug.    Hugs to all.
