Topic of the Day.  A photographer from Virginia Beach, VA has taken a picture of a US Sailor holding an American Flag as it cradles a newborn baby.  Some see disrespect, others see a very patriotic picture.

I'm one that will normally stand firm that Old Glory deserves respect 24/7.  I have seen people around the world use her in disgraceful ways - be it Americans or foreigners.  But as I look at this picture, I see pride, I see our colors swaddling our future American.  I like it.  What do you think?

Would be an honor to be able to adopt a retired Navy Veteran like Drago!

Weatherman predicted 6 - 8" with a storm starting at Noon yesterday.   NOTHING HAPPENED!   Oh, we got 2" around 4pm (schools closed for absolutely no reason) and this morning that 6 - 8" actually turned out to be not even 2"...yeah, feeling cheated here!!!  lol

I love our weather but once in awhile it would be great to see some snow in Southern Cali. You should all come out this way for vacations. We went to Disneyland today with the family and our Sailor 80° now that's crazy.

First Day of Spring is March 20th.

Comment by lbimom on March 3, 2015 at 10:15am

had 4 inches of snow Sunday- and expecting another 4 starting early afternoon -- then rain tomorrow and another snow for Thursday-- haven't seen grass since mid January! How many days til spring?

ps-- have fun shopping with your sailor!

Comment by Anita n Ohio on March 3, 2015 at 8:10am

WOO HOO!   Come to Cincinnati and get REALLY sick!!!   Currently 28, we still have the snow we got two weeks ago (temp has not gone above 30 since) but we are expected to go to 55 tonight with possible severe thunderstorms and stay there until tomorrow afternoon where it will dive to freezing temps and possibly get another 5" of snow.

Yeah, our local weathermen are having a killer 48 hours!!!

Comment by SailorMom94 on February 26, 2015 at 1:50pm
What weather. We here in Cali can't believe it. We are meeting are Sailor in Vegas today his flights are still on from Florida. He has a body coming from Norfolk who is stuck at the airport, hoping things change (insert sad face).
