Snoring overload

If I didn't know any better, I'd say that someone was having a snoring contest with Marty next door. At first, I thought what I was hearing was an echo...from Marty... who must have been exhausted last night from the sounds that kept me awake. But, it didn't take me too long to realize that someone on the other side of the wall was attempting to outdo Marty. Too bad I didn't bring along earplugs! Let's hope tonight goes better on that count.

The weather is still unseasonably cool and overcast, but no pouring rain to dampen our spirits!
We head out to Hamm cemetery this morning, to see the memorial upon which Marty's uncle's name is engraved, and the 5,000 + American graves of the soldiers who lost their lives on this continent fighting for our freedom.

Ernest has a full day planned for us. I'm hoping Marty recovers from his jet lag. Last week he was in Taiwan, this week in Europe, and his body clock is in limbo, I think!

  1. I too hope Marty feels up to speed soon. I always think of the two of you as so young. Maybe time catches up to all of us eventually.
    What an overwhelming number, 5,000 + of our young men gone - as an old song said, "gone to flowers, everyone... when will they every learn, when will they ever learn" - I'm thinking probably never. How many mothers, fathers, siblings, and extended family members must hold them in their hearts forever? Thank you for caring.
