MEDAL OF HONOR




Whew!!!!!!!!!

This week has flown by!

First I know you have all been in suspense about last weekend! Rob took my away snowboarding to Killington, VT! We had an amazing weekend of riding and snow! It was so relaxing until...my GPS got stolen right out of my car!!!!!!! Someone over night slim jimmed my car and took the time to rummage through it and find my hidden GOS and swipe it!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! They did not even take our boards WOW!!!!

Then I returned and yesterday I had an amazing seminar to attend to given by Mike Colon and Bob Davis! My head is still buzzing with ideas from yesterday! I highly recomend looking up the workshop they are giving and if you get a chance go!!!!

Now to the title of my post! Tuesday afternoon my Nana calls me to tell me that the state of CT is coming over to award my Papa a medal of honor for serving in WW II!

It actually makes me proud to say that Papa has served our country during the time of the war. It also makes me sad to see the State coming in now ......when he is elderly and very sick with dementia......... to come and give him this award. I guess better late then never.

So naturally when Nana and Mom called me I grabbed my camera to go document this occasion!

PAPA I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY AND THANK YOU!


LOVE YOU ALWAYS --NIKKI


PAPA HIMSELF...... OH HE WAS IN THE NAVY!

That's awesome Nikki, my Grandfather too served in WWII. He was in Pearl Harbor, he would tell us stories of shooting down kamikaze's with the 50 caliber on deck machine gun.
