Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another...
Thank you it is a sad day indeed - I will check the video when I get home tonight -
ReplyDelete9-11-01 was such a shocking day. It's nice to be reminded of the examples of goodness that were demonstrated amidst such horror.
DeleteIt is interesting to see this day through the eyes of students like my Granddaughter who weren't here when it happened. They've seen videos on Youtube but are shocked that WE actually remember seeing it live on TV.
ReplyDeleteYes. Kind of like those of us who have seen footage of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but were not alive at the time.
DeleteI think you know that my husband's job is very much related to all of this, and, in fact, he worked until midnight last night... I can't write about it but I'm so glad that you shared this today. We must always remember to be better, to do better, and to teach better. <3
ReplyDeleteTell your husband thank you for his efforts.
