I Made It This Far

Married to Ron for 42 years. We have lived in Morrow, GA since 1976. He is retired from the U. S. Government Accountability Office (GAO). I highly recommend retirement. You'll be busier than ever. The photo of us on the right was taken May 18, 2008. We have two children. Our daughter, Ginny is 41 and son, Gary is 37. We have a son-in-law, Andy Dulaney, one Grand Ferret (daughter's) and one Grand Cat (son's).

I enjoy reading, playing the piano and singing karaoke at the American Legion. Ron is a member and I am a member of the Ladies Auxiliary. Enjoy playing Trivia and researching on the computer.

The picture on the left was taken when we visited the Patriotic Rock near Greenfield, Iowa in 2007. Have you seen the Patriotic Rock? The link below will take you there. At the top of the page you can select years to view the paintings from the beginning through 2007. This is one of the most inspiring side trips we have taken while on our annual trip to Ron's hometown.

The day we were there, visitors from all over the U.S. had signed the guest book. A local resident walked across the highway and gave us a nice history of the Rock. In the picture, right below my shoulder, is the image of a helicopter. He told us that the image would always be on the rock, as it contains ashes from fallen Veterans, sent to the artist by their families.

The rock used to be covered with graffiti until the artist began his project. Since then, it was disfigured once, but a local Vietnam Veteran gave the culprit a lesson in Patriotism. Local veterans chipped in and paid the fine for the "lesson giver". There is a flagpole, donated by a local veteran, and a park bench, also donated by another veteran.

Now, for another Ray Stevens video that we have to add to the blog:

Is that a 1951 Chevy in the beginning of the video?

I'll be back later...........................
