Thursday's Ramblings, A HodgePodge

"If you don't like the emotional experience you're having, change your mind"

I've been thinking about this for some time now and have decided to start a new series with my blog called Thursday's Ramblings.  It might be about a little of this or a little of that; or it might be just my thoughts about something or another.  OR, it might even be a hodgepodge of ideas, photos or whatever.  So for my first Thursday's Ramblings I've decided to share with you some of my photos that I've taken in the past, but truly love them and feel I need to share them with the world and not just for myself. 

My father was a WWII veteran and when he died in 1990, we honored his wish to be interred at Arlington Cemetery.  A couple of years ago, on our way home, we went up the east coast to see our son and his family who live in VA.  While there, we took a couple of side trips, one of which was to Arlington.  It's really something to see, especially if you've never been there before...

We also went to the Natural History Museum, which is part of the Smithsonian.  There was a special exhibit on the top floor of winning photography photos.  This one really caught my eye and just grabbed me.  I think it's because I could really see the love in this mother's eyes for her little one...

Because the American History Museum was being renovated at the time, there was a special room in the National Air and Space Museum which housed various items from the American Museum.  I don't know about you, but I was and still am a HUGE Seinfeld fan.  Remember the puffy shirt?...

When our oldest son, from VA, came to visit us a few years ago, they got this kennel for Mercedes, their large Weimaraner.  Our grandkids were fooling around and decided to go inside, thinking this was really "cool"...

Time flies and now to the almost present, they were visiting us this past year and playing with our Wii.  I have the Just Dance 2, which is what they were doing.  I just love this photo of them...

And for the last one, it's grandma and her little granddaughter on the shore of Lake Michigan...
