Appreciate you, Doreen. My daughter and I are still going through fresh grief.

My wife of 52 years passed away on July 3rd. In her honor, let's listen to "Bread and Roses" sung by Judy Collins on Youtube: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=YsvGPj0LH0M Happy Labor Day!

LIsten with me, Judy Colllins also sung this wonderful song. I post this in memory and honor of my wife. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=YsvGPj0LH0M

Both my books were in ads displayed in the "Poets & Writers" magazine, Jan/Feb. 2026 edition. See page 77, top of page. Also,
both books: STRAWBERRY MOSS and BOATING ON THE RIVER STYX were on display, in November 2025, in the Combined Book Exhibit

RIP Judih and Gadi . I think I replied showing relief earlier that their bodies were returned and buried.
Keeping dead hostage bodies always seemed cruel and inhumane to me. Why? Hope that all are returned.

It's hard to believe that the hostages are actually being returned to Israel on Monday or Tuesday next week in October.
I wonder if the celebrations are premature. Hamas has been known to back out of so many "deals". Seeing is believing in their case.

Great Photos, Doreen. Sorry you didn't win or place. Good luck next time

Hope and pray that the Democrats may win back the House.

I also missed this tragic poem when you first wrote it. A drunk driver wiped out a girlfriend of mine. I was shattered by that.
I admired your brave poem about the death of your daughter. I wish that no one ever would drive while drunk. In Sweden, a person

I also saw the June 5th article which said Judih and Gadi's bodies were recovered in "special operations" from Hamas.
I was relieved their families finally got "closure". What an awful thing the Hamas did when they kept their remains such a long time.
I gave a shout out to them in my book: BOATING ...

Pope Leo XIV was a great choice for new pope.

Great choice for the pope... Steve Plonk

My prayers go out to the family of Judih and Gadi. Were their bodies ever returned? Haven't found out. Steve Plonk and family
