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.

  3. Hi, I am visiting you back. Thanks for stopping by. I watched the u-tube video.I love this poem. I love watching jets in flight.I moved from Colorado when I was 13 so I didn't get to see this particular sign off before. I remember, back in the day of the blue snow, waking up on the couch to the national anthem playing or the sound of static. Oh, the memories.

    That is a beautiful video! I've never seen it before although I am plenty old enough to remember when TV stations signed off for the night. Thanks for sharing it!
