9/11 We Always Remember

By -
My prayers are with all who still suffer from the events of 9/11.

 MY goal is to visit the 9/11 Museum at Ground Zero. Knit pal and real/pretend friend Jennifer (Major Knitter) promised to take Fireman and I there when we visit her in the future.   

 God Bless America

Very nice post of remembrance today! I hope you get to visit the museum. I understand it's going to be opening soon. I got to visit Ground Zero last October, and it was a very moving experience. Prayers for peace and comfort...

Fireman son was at ground zero a few months ago and said it was the most sobering and shattering experience he has ever had. That's saying a lot for a firefighter!

We are praying today for the families of the lost ones and for America!

May those who lost loved ones and those who survived this tragic event find peace in knowing the world will never forget what happened 12 years ago.

I'll never forget my drive home from work that day. Seeing tanks with machine gunners on top lining the Baltimore/Washington Parkway was terrifying. Our elementary school had been on lockdown and although all outside communication was cut off for the day, my teenaged daughter managed to send me an email early that morning that I kept taped on the wall by my desk until the day I retired. It read: MOM...WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?
Knowing she was sitting in our new condo, right in between NSA, BWI and Fort Meade, all alone and afraid was torture. I can only imagine what it would have been like to have lost someone that day. Visiting the Pentagon memorial as beautiful as it is, is a painful reminder of the day that changed EVERYTHING.

My DH lost a childhood friend that terrible day. He and his family were in our thoughts yesterday along with all the other families whose lives were irrevocably changed forever in a matter of minutes.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
