It’s been 25 years which is hard to imagine. Over time, it’s easy to forget the horror of that day, the many people who died, and the evil men who perpetrated this horror. That evil still exists and is a threat to all we cherish and love.

Yet, to offset that evil, there were many heroes and heroines, all the first responders, victims who gave their lives trying to save others, the passengers on Flight 93 who prevented a plane from probably flying into the White House, too many more to number and many we will never know about.

No evil can kill the soul of our country if we are willing to stand and fight that evil.

I mentioned in a previous post about a great organization that does wondrous work for gold star families, wounded warriors, wounded first responders, and homeless veterans – Tunnel to Towers.

Betty and I support them for only $11/month because of the good work they do and because we don’t want to forget.

The message from Tunnel to Towers is one we all should remember, “Let us do good.”

And the Bible also said it well, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)

I’ve posted before about my time with Jessie in the morning, but never in the afternoon. Often our afternoons are windy and Jessie loves the wind.

As shown in the video, I’ll find Jessie lying just outside our courtyard gate, enjoying the wind blowing over her body. We’ll go out to the back so she can do her afternoon toilet. Often, as we walk back, she’ll decide to work off some energy by running and chasing her tail. Lastly, she’ll pause one more time to enjoy the wind before coming inside for the night.

For those who play golf and find themselves in a difficult lie.

When I was in the Navy, my roommate was an excellent golfer. He and a few others always tried to play in the different ports. We stopped in the Philippines and the group headed out to play. When he returned he was laughing.

He said the course pro told them to stand over their ball immediately after each shot. If they don’t, the monkeys will come out of the jungle and steal them.

Betty is one of the world’s greatest cooks. Several years ago she came up with the idea of fixing homemade pizzas using tortillas as the base and with green chiles to give them a New Mexico kick. She fixed some pizzas this past Saturday.

For her pizza, she fixed it in a traditional way with the pepperoni, bacon bits, green chiles and onions on the tortilla under the mozzarella cheese.

Since I’m a meat, onion lover, she fixes mine upside down. The mozzarella cheese is on top of the tortilla with the green chiles, bacon bits, pepperoni, and lots of onions on top. Yum!

Since her cooking is a gift to me, my gift to her is to wash the dishes.
