wedding

Yesturday I took the day off studying so I could attend my brother-in-laws wedding.
It turned out to be a beautiful day.

Here are some pics from the day.  Sorry they aren't the greatest... I did not have much luck in a very dark church.

Remembrance Day: Lest we forget


Again this year, today's post is a tribute to our fallen soldiers.  I WILL REMEMBER

Tom Hanson/The Canadian Press


In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, May 1915


In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.



We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.



Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.
