Looking for America

There is something about county courthouses in small rural counties that says America as much as apple pie and Mom. When I stopped to take the picture, Simon and Garfunkel were singing that they had "come to look for America." When I mentioned that in my "I'm home safe" e-mail to the group I spent the weekend with, one of them responded "Simon and Garfunkel were playing in Dayton? How did we miss them?"

These pelicans flew in to remind me to post

They fly in formation. They usually don't hang around in this part of the Valley, but are often seen near the River during the summer.

Just look at that CCC stonework siding.

A reminder of how our freedom has been earned.

...through the blood and sweat of those who serve and have served.

Thank You.

Happy Independence Day.
