The End of The Day

The day ended with a peaceful time on the archery range

 But then that peaceful time ended by killing     zombies with BB guns...and suddenly killing a zombie gopher and masked zombie makes every thing right in the world    

Border Children

As a mother of two boys I am speechless over the disregard for human life that this administration is allowing to let happen along our border.

What kind of parent in any counry could send thier children to a foreign place with no family supervision? And what kind of country allows it? We put parents in jail every day for child abuse and neglect...Who is going to throw those accountable for this in jail? And what message is this sending to the rest of the world?

 It just boggles my mind. I can't stand for my two to be at school all day...I could NEVER EVER do this to my children. And to think of the attrocities that will happen to these kids makes me shutter. All these kids need to be divided by country and put on military transport planes and sent back to where they came from. Because, by God if we have money for Michelles vacations then we got money for that.

Tbe President is silent, the DHS leader has
said this was not Obamas fault. Not properly enforcing border security IS HIS FAULT !

At a 2008 campaign stop Obama said he would like to create a nationalized civilain police force..This could be the start of that.  He and his administration has systymatically taken power away from all these different agencies So that he can create his own army of "Federales" like Mexico has.

This whole mess is going to get ugly...

Quiet Times....

It was early evening up on the hilltop at the Estate. The sun was going down behind the trees and was casting long shadows. The boys were patiently awaiting the arrival of the lightning bugs. Catching them is a right of passage, and a nightly ritual while we are up there.

Senior had strung up his hammock and was relaxing in it.  Birds flew about, and the squirrel population played in the trees. Occasionally on this particular evening, a car passing on the highway would break the peace. But other then that..all was quiet.

 

 

Today in History

Today June 4th.  is the 72nd anniversary of the "Battle of Midway" 

The Americans and other allies decoded Japanese messages and were able to stop an ambush they were planning on the remaining American aircraft carriers that were not sunk at Pearl Harbor. They had hoped to take Midway Island so they could use it as a future launching area for attacks on the west coast of the United States.
 Only we stopped them and inflicted permanent damage upon the Japanese fleet that they never recovered from.

 The end result was 4 Japanese aircraft carriers sunk, the same ones used to launch planes for the Pearl attack. They also lost 322 planes, and a heavy cruiser, and over 5000 sailors.
For the United States we lost 147 aircraft and 300 sailors.
The Battle of Midway was a turning point in the pacific theatre for the allies, thus allowing our fleet to become the hunter instead of the hunted...

Lets Go Fly A Kite....

Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite! 

Don't you just love "Mary Poppins" ?  Every time the boys go out to fly their kits, I can't help but think of that song.

We had the perfect weather today to fly our kites..not to hot, breezy. Blue, blue skies...

The one that is high up on the right side is NWs "Transformers"kite. he it fixed on the breeze and was able to lay down in the grass while it flew. The closer one is NDs "Power Ranger" kite.
But then as easy as they go up, the breeze stopped and NWs came crashing down...then another breeze caught it and blew it right into the tops of that tree.

We yanked and yanked until it broke free...and break it did. He is devastated.

Senior and I have raised little ND so well, that he rolled his in and offered it to his big brother.

He is such a sweet kid.
NW declined the offer......
