 Memorial Day



- C W Johnson


We walked among the crosses


Where our fallen soldiers lay.


And listened to the bugle


As TAPS began to play.


The Chaplin led a prayer


We stood with heads bowed low.


And I thought of fallen comrades


I had known so long ago.


They came from every city

Across this fertile land.

That we might live in freedom.

They lie here 'neath the sand.

I felt a little guilty

My sacrifice was small.

I only lost a little time

But these men lost their all.

Now the services are over

For this Memorial Day.

To the names upon these crosses

I just want to say,

Thanks for what you've given

No one could ask for more.

May you rest with God in heaven

From now through evermore.

     Have a great Memorial Weekend. We will be enjoying potluck with everyone here in the park.
This morning Mary Freundshuh and Gene Koliba provided the donuts. Our crowd seems to be getting smaller and smaller. We did have a good turn-out for Social Hour, Wednesday. The new residents, in 165, Tom and Bonnie  Cassidy were there. Tom is a retired Minister. Thursday Barnharts, Cassidy's and Bobby and I went to Salazars Reataurant for the burgers and home made fries.!
     No cards up to sign! So guess everyone is doing good and staying well!
     Ranchero folks are coming to use our pool as work is being done around their pool, but now our heater is broke. The water is getting pretty cold. We will see how long people will brave the cold water.
