Thank you for the sacrifices that you made, and for being among the brave and the mighty, that have helped watch over our country as our children have played during the day, and as we have closed our eyes and slept at night. I salute you!

Happy Veteran's Day!

As always, thank you for stopping by my little piece of heaven, here in the desert that I so love to call home. Country hugs and love, Sherry
