Pretty cool huh?  This is the view of our flags taken from behind my DESK in my OFFICE.  AND, it is absolutely PERFECT.  I cannot wait for Scotty to see it, and he won’t see this as he will not be able to access a computer or phone till next Friday evening.  But I will have him sit in my chair and I will turn out the lights in my office for him before opening the door…..pray for some wind then, because it is a spectacular sight!  I just cannot get a good picture in the dark.

But I love sitting there and looking out at it.  It reminds me of the blessings of living in such a great country, and also of the blessing of having a son who is willing to serve that country proudly.  It brings me to the edge of tears every time I look at it.  And I know it will mean just as much to Scotty when he pulls in the driveway on the 22nd as he arrives home.  He will love it!

Don’t get me wrong, I am proud of who I am personally and who I have become in life, but my pride for my children leaves my own accomplishments and achievements in the dust.  They are a pretty great crew, and I will confess that Amanda and I have decided to keep all of them.  I cannot be more blessed by them than I am.

And that’s going to be all for tonight.  I am going to just spend a bit of time looking at the flags before bed!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
