Hello--
I couldn't miss the chance to post a 9/11 blog, a week late. I found out that the people here feel an especially close connection to the tragedies of that day, because the flights that crashed into the Twin Towers departed from Boston that morning 7 years ago. Previously, I had not paid attention to this fact.
Until we move into our house (we have another month in this apartment: mid-October), I drive the kids to and from school each day. The schools are 2 small towns over from our apartment, about 20 minutes each way. Timing is a little off, though: Kara's Elementary School starts a full hour after the Middle School! This gives us some "together time" in between. Daily we drive past a big park in Weston, the small town before "our town," Wayland.
Weston put up flags in the park, one for each person who died on September 11, 2001. Kara and I walked through the park and counted flags, the length and width of the rectangle, a couple of days ago. 3000 flags. Here are a few shots I took on Monday.
(Here's an unplanned irony that I just noticed: I didn't even ask Kara to wear her flag shirt, but she wore it that morning! Very appropriate.)
It was a beautiful display.
Happy New Year 2023

I still love the good old USA flag! There is nothing like it!
I love how you take advantage of every moment. What will you do with those extra minutes when the snow starts falling? BBBRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr.
those are amazing pictures....that day is special in my family's hearts...my mother in law's son was in one of the twin towers...it's a day we'll never forget...
What a beautiful sight! Your pictures are great, and I can only imagine what it looked like to see them all waving in the wind. What a special tribute.
