Families are ...

Cousin Elaine sends this along that had been typed by her mother (Pauline) and that still hangs on her own refrigerator as a constant reminder.

Well said!

Soldiers Deck of Cards

There has been a pause in posting here. Another passing in Jerry's extended family occurred suddenly and unexpectedly. Another weekend spent with a family funeral. Necessary time. Family time. Celebrating the life that was, the lives that will continue to go on - remembering.

Aunt Viv sent this along via email and I just had time to view and share here. Well worth watching.



Enjoy each day! Make the most of each day!

Brouillard brunch - Wright's Farm

The Brouillard Brunch today was held at Wright's Farm in RI. I took Jerry to join with our cousins on my mother's side of the family.

24 folks showed up and we filled the long table!

I should have brought my Nikon in to use. Getting the group to pose for a photo long enough to get a good shot is not easy. They are a good fun loving group!

Jerry soon to be one of the "Street Stories"

Walt Buteau, reporter for WPRI - Channel 12 in Providence, contacted us today to record a segment for a future "Street Story." Arrangements were made and Jerry talked with Walt for about an hour about his experiences in the Pacific, how the blog started, etc.

If all goes according to schedule, the segment should be broadcast on Apr 30th at 6:15 PM. It will also be re-broadcast on Saturday morning at 7:40 AM for you early birds.

If you can't catch the live broadcast, don't worry. It will also be posted to the Facebook page for "Street Stories" and we'll make sure to get a copy or at least a link to post it here.
