I just found this picture today. It is Joyce's mother and father on her Indian motorcycle.
The picture was taken when Joyce's father was on survivors leave from the navy due to his ship was sunk by a Japanese "Betty" bomber droping a 500 pound bomb on his ship. The ship sunk off the island of New Britan while providing air cover for the Marines invading the island in 1944.
Wonderful weather, wonderful day.
Today is our first 80 degree day. I was out early this morning walking to Aldi’s. I saw there is a new sign on the old folks complex. It has the matching rock on both sides and the center says “Hampton House.” The place is still not open.
I was restless this afternoon, so I walked to Walmart. I was hoping to get 2 more long sleeve shirts. No luck. I did however manage to buy a couple of things. I was tired when I began the walk and even more so on my way back.
I managed to drop in at the beer store. With what I bought at Walmart and a 12 pack of beer at the beer store, things were getting heavy. I stopped and sat down on an elevated manhole cover, cracked open a cold beer (that lightened my load by 12 ounces) and gazed at the skies above. That’s when I took out my phone and took these pictures.
