Word association

Lou started this word association thing and Sarah continued it. So I asked Sarah to give me five words to write about. If you're interested in doing this word association, let me know and I'll send you five words. The object is to write down the first things that come to mind. I did mine as a kind of stream of consciousness writing. So here goes:

Home--strong, serene, protective, remembrance, love, warmth, comforting
Blue--my BMW, skies, moods, bright, sunny, water
Holiday--busy, too much, not enough, rush, money, tired, stress, music
Book--knowledge, fascinating, losing myself, calm, quiet, thinking, comforting
Internet--woven web, anything goes, too much, addicting, outlaw

I had the day off today because is is Veteran's Day. It has been a rainy, windy day and a good one to sleep late, read a book, take a nap, and do anything but go outside. The rain came down in torrents with this nor'easter. And I did spend quite a bit of it outside, walking the dogs, moving the boat in the yard, and later going out to dinner. The day seemed to fly past. My wife drove safely back through much of the storm as it was heading to NC. She was glad to be home, had a good dinner and is now sleeping.

I did think several times today about those Veterans who have served their country. I hope that wherever they are, whether living or dead, they know that there are people who have said a prayer for them.
