| Welcome Home 157th ... July 2023 Deployment Djibouti, Africa |
Thank you Veterans!!
It is Wednesday and it is time for the Hodgepodge.
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions.
1. What does patriotism mean to you?
I grew up with patriotism in my heart. My family has served in the military. Our family history defending our freedoms can be traced back to the Civil War, World War One, World War Two, Korea, Vietnam, War on Terror and today's current conflicts.
We love our country, we love freedom and we will do our best to defend freedom.

2. September-October-November...your favorite fall month? Tell us why.
If you live in the southern hemisphere use these months but sub spring
for the word fall.
October
October in Wisconsin is full of color. The weather is usually very nice for autumn hiking and exploring. The garden harvest is finishing up, it is a month full of good eats.
3. A song you love with the word thanks (or some form of that word) in the title or lyrics?
I am on a Gordon Lightfoot kick right now, Thank you for the Promises.
4. November is National Peanut Butter Month. Are you a fan? What's the last peanut butter bite you had? Fill in the blank: peanut butter and _____________________ .
Oh, and you can't say jelly.
Oh yes I am a fan.
I love peanut butter and chocolate.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
5. This week's gratitude question-What event from this past year are you most grateful for?
Our oldest son was able to purchase his first house.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and, as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone on many...
William Bradford
How exciting for Sam to purchase his first home. He is such a great man to serve his country and now be able at a young age to purchase his first home. Congrats to him. We were snowy and cold this past weekend and now this Saturday we might hit 70!!! OMG this weather. Have a great rest of the week. Hugs. Kris
