I've been in my own boat sitting out in this water looking at this view. Awesome!-Sandee. This is a Tip of The Hat to Sandee, my Co-Author and blog wizard.

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

Wednesday Hero


This Post Was Suggested By Katie

Lt. Alan Wood
Lt. Alan Wood
90 years old from Sierra Madre, Ca.
May 3, 1922 - April 18, 2013
U.S. Navy

Alan Wood didn't run into a burning building to rescue someone.  He isn't credited with charging into the line of fire or piloting a damaged plane to save the crew.  But he did play a role in what has become one of the most iconic images of all time.  After nearly a month of heavy fighting U.S forces were able to capture the island of Iwo Jima.  A flag was raised to seal the victory.  When asked is anyone had a larger flag it was Lt. Wood who was able to provide one and a picture that has come to symbolize the sacrifice and heart of the military was taken.  On April 18, Alan Wood passed away at the age of 90.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so others may get to enjoy freedom.  For that I am proud to call them Hero.
Those Who Say That We're In A Time When There Are No Heroes, They Just Don't Know Where To Look
