A Couple of Random Pix

There has been a lot of packing going on in the house. This is stressing out Tallinn. He is never far from my side. I do slow down and am watching the NBA playoff games. This is Tallinn sitting next to me, snuggled up with his lovey. He is one of those dogs that enjoys watching TV. If there is any kind of animal…even a cartoon of an animal….or any kind of automobile….he is up and in front of the TV ready to get whichever he things needs chasing on the wall.

Tonight I took Lily to Memorial Park here in Omaha. There is a new traveling statue here called “Embracing Peace”. It is recreation of the famous photograph taken on VJ Day where a sailor got caught up in the celebration of the war ending and grabbed a random nurse and kissed her soundly. It was caught on camera and put on the cover of Life Magazine on August 14th, 1945. The statue is 26 feet tall, and weighs 35, 000 lbs. It will be here in Omaha until November, where it will be reloaded onto a flatbed truck and sent on to the next lucky city. I absolutely love it!
