some fun this weekend!! Hope everyone has a safe weekend!! :)

Thanks Pookie!

Growing up in Alabama, my family always had a summer garden in our backyard. How great to pick a tomato and have a sandwich! So, when I saw on a friends blog that she was wanting a garden - thanks Heidi Stephens! - I knew this was the year!! And so my sweet hubby got to work!! He built the cutest box and got some good dirt - I live in Florida, we have sand people! - and took the kids to pick out the veges. Now, I did help dig up the holes and install the plants, and so I can be proud when the fruit/veges of our labor grows!! Thanks to my Pookie - yes, he will probably not appreciate me writing my nickname for him - for the garden!!

Pentagon (con'ted)

I forgot to write about the outside memorial in the last post....
So as you can see in the above picture, there are metal benches facing in 2 different directions. One direction represents those who died in the Pentagon and the other are those who died in the plane. Engraved on these benches are the names of the perished. Under each bench is a reflecting pool (water), which you see in the above picture Robert explaining to Marshall not to throw anything into :}! You can also see in the pictures from the last post, the section of the building that was rebuilt in record timing - can't remember exactly how quickly, but it was impressive!
And finally, the picture below shows the Pentagon from the Old Post Office Tower - you can also see the Cherry Blossoms ~ WOW!!
