9-11 Memorial Site

9-11 Memorial Site

Being there was a surreal experience. I kept trying to imagine what that day had been like...the images I had seen on the news shows came flooding back. It was an emotional and sobering sight- reading the names of some of the ones lost that day...seeing how the names go on and on around  the monument.

Seeing the survivor tree that was saved from the rubble and nurtured back to health and replanted on the site is a fitting reminder of how life goes on for us-just as the buildings going up there are a reminder of how we strive to rise above our loss.

May God bless our country and those lost on that day, and all the families and friends left to grieve!

A walk through Midtown...SO MUCH TO SEE!!

~~

Some more of the sights on our 'Must See' list!

• Empire State Building
• Penn Station
• Hotel Pennsylvania
• B B King
• Macy's
• Madison Square Garden

• ... And the 3 of us with other misc. street scenes

We spent time in Macy's and Penn Station...the others we just  got an outside  view!

(wish I could have seen a "WHO" concert in MSG) ;(

 We wanted to be able to go to the top of 'Empire,' but we ran out of time!  :(

 Oh, well, maybe next time!  :) I'm sure there will be a next time for my girls but probably not for me!

...But I DO have a picture from the top from my 1982 visit!  Look closely and you can see the twin towers.

Love,

Junie

"9-11" ~ 10th Anniversary

*10th Anniversary*

Sarah's beautiful song is perfectly suited as the music for these images of 9-11 - a day in our history that none of us will ever forget.

As hurtful as pictures of this day are, I will always feel compelled to remember and review and reflect., especially on the anniversary. I feel we owe that to the people who lost their lives so needlessly on that fateful day 10 years ago.

Weekend Reflections~ Oct 3, 2010- Reflecting Ball

***

*Visit James to see more Weekend Reflections*

***

We saw this  big silver reflecting ball recently in front of a business in our town. Of course I  asked my husband to stop  so we could get a  better look.

This silver ball is much like the garden gazing balls that we have at our place, but a lot bigger! This one stands about 9 -10 feet! (I'm guessing)

I like the ball with the clouds reflected in it.

Would have been great if I could have got the reflection of our flag in the ball...but it was across the street-too far away!

Lol- In one of the shots you can see me standing by the car, getting my pictures!

Midweek Blues~ Sept 14, 2010 ~ 'Babe Ruth'

~~~

Find other Midweek Blues posts *here!*

On Sunday my husband and I went out for breakfast. On the way into Ocala 

( to Hardee's)

we passed this sign.

I had seen it before but never in time to get my camera in place as we passed. This time I did and, luckily, the blue sky will make it OK for my Midweek Blues post! :)

I have always been impressed with the story of Babe Ruth, as most people would be, so I was happy I could work the sign into this post.

I checked out the *website on the bottom of the billboard.*

If you want to be uplifted, inspired,  and just feel good about life and people, visit this website! :)

...And just for some added blue...

I will include this picture of our beautiful 

flag flying high against a perfect Florida sky!
