No Camera

                                                        

    Well I woke up and checked ebay and was outbid.  I am not very upset because after I bid I noticed they were from Iowa and I would have had to pay state tax on top of everything else.  There is a Kodak easyshare I am thinking of bidding on or I will wait until monday to bid on another Sony.  Decisions, decisions.

    The weather is hot and humid here.  My legs are so swollen I think I will need to take my lasix even though I work.  This type of weather seems to make me retain fluid really bad.  I probably am up at least 3 pounds in water retention.  So fun to get older.

    Work was good last night and flew by.  2 more nights to go and then I am off Monday.  My nights at work at least seem to go by as fast as my days off.  

    I did good on my diet again yesterday.  I had some sugar free angel food cake with strawberries soaked in whey low for dessert.  Yummy.  Perfect for a hot humid day.

   Hope everyone has a great weekend. 

                                                      

  

We walked among the crosses
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle
As taps began to play.

The Chaplin led a prayer
We stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades
I had known so long ago.

They came from every city
Across this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here 'neath the sand.

I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men lost their all.

Now the services are over
For this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses
I just want to say,

                                             Thanks for what you've given
                                           No one could ask for more.
                                          May you rest with God in heaven
                                             From now through evermore.

Sorry about your not winning the camera.  You'll get one you really enjoy, eventually.  Love the poem.  Have a good night.
