What a lovely day to be up at the trailer. The sun's not out but it's not cold. Just right.

I have a fire going, unfortunatley I had to use lighter fluid to get it going but it's going.

What a great way to unwind.

Requiem for a soldier

You never lived to see
What you gave to me
One shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty

With a host of brave unknown soldiers
For your company, you will live forever
Here in our memory

In fields of sacrifice
Heroes paid the price
Young men who died for old men's wars
Gone to paradise

We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you'll see we can live together
When all the world is free

I wish you'd lived to see
All you gave to me
Your shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty

We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you'll see - we can live together
When all the world is free

Happy Birthday Shawna

Today we celebrate my wife's 29th birthday.

What can I say about the woman I love more than anything in this world? She is perfect for me. Takes care of me. Knows me better than I know myself.

If not for her this family would not be able to function the way it does.

I love you so very much, Shawna, and hope you have a wonderful year.
