greetings from the hughes boys

 

Alongside the interstate, near a small farming community, this Christmas display greeted passersby (who probably didn't make a U-turn and follow the access road to get closer!)  Other than "neat", I have no idea what this is -- 1930s truck, hay baler/spreader nor Hughes Boys had any hits.  Seasons Greetings from Swisher County (December 11, 2015)

a tribute to our hero dead

This afternoon the Nancy Anderson Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution placed a wreath at the Lubbock Area Veterans War Memorial. There is something special about a wreath, a circle with no end.  The act of placing the wreath, straightening the red bow, and taking a moment of silence is a living tribute to those who put it all on the line.  After a dreary morning, the sun broke through the clouds as we pledged allegiance to the flag.
