I'm having so much fun looking at the world through the lens of my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3.
I will share my world of Rocklin, California and points North, South, East and West.
Come and enjoy with me.
Did your children go to Terra Nova? Do you remember the boys we lost to the Vietnam War? One was a neighbor and his sisters I ran around with. I’ll never forget it. A few others I attended Terra Nova with or knew their younger sibling. Such a terrible time back then in Pacifica and the youth riot at the shopping center. I always think of Medford and have visited his grave at GG national cemetery. I still think of his mom screaming when the marines contacted her. It was July 3 and everyone was out and when they drove by, all the adults had a feeling. I still get chills thinking about her screams.
Amen. Thank you for this poignant reminder.
