At the 11th hour...

Today is Remembrance Day on this island. It is similar to Memorial Day in the States. In a very dignified manner at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month everyone stops for a minute of silence to remember those who should be remembered for their sacrifice and bravery. I'll be thinking of my grandfather, my father and my brother along with all the other brave men and woman who answered the call.

I appreciate the service of your grandfather, father and Michael! Thank you will never be enough.

Have followed your blog for a while and noticed that you haven't posted for a while. I don't know you at all but I'm concerned that something has made you stop. Hope its just a blip and nothing serious.
Take care

Zoe, That is so kind of you! We're all just fine. We've been visiting friends and family in the States for the last 6 weeks which has kept us super busy. I'll be posting in the next week or so. Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year:)
