For dinner this evening, Caroline, Grammy and returned to Buttersburg
For dinner this evening, Caroline, Grammy and returned to Buttersburg. It was too fun.
It is great to be alive in the year 2017. Jim Rowe had posted on my Facebook page that he had baked a cherry custard pie. I had planned to stay in the office and work through dinner with a sandwich. However, with the information that a cherry custard pie was available, Caroline weighed-in, the presses stopped and all plans were changed.
Jim Rowe greeted us at the door, and seated us in the back. We had a great dinner. Caroline ordered salmon cakes, Grammy got the soft shell crab again and I went for the meatloaf. Meatloaf is a specialty dish for both Caroline and me, so we know meatloaf – and it was the best.
Our server was Tessa Howard – the best.
For dessert, Caroline and Grammy had the cherry custard pie and I had the carrot cake. It was to die for.
Frank Tunzi came out from the kitchen to say hi, and to remind us that he made the flowers for our wedding. He even remembered all the details. (I know flowers – it was my business for 25-years.)
And for a bonus, we got to see Stephen Howard, who was helping-out in the kitchen of whom, I was just reminded, is Larry L Brumfield's son. It is a small world. It's great to live in Carroll County. Love, love, love Buttersburg Inn. July 1, 2017 Sat.

I have attended several fundraisers at Applebee’s over the
years for a number of different community organizations. It is actually a
really unique experience in that the community organization that benefits from
the fundraiser actually takes over the restaurant. Essentially every booth is
filled with a family that you either know or want to get to know because you
share a common interest in supporting an organization that supports the greater
community. It’s like a big extended family get together.

For those not familiar with Juneteenth, it is a celebration
of the news of the Emancipation Proclamation reaching Galveston Texas and being
publicly announced by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19th, 1865 - two and
a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation had been
signed on January 1, 1863.

For lunch Sat, June 10, 2017, Grammy, Caroline and I ate at local Korean Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich
For lunch Sat, June 10, 2017, Grammy, Caroline and I ate at local Korean Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich in Newport News, Virginia.
We got off 64 at Rte 17 north, exit 259a. At the intersection of Rte 17 and Old Oyster Point Road, we found "Straight Outta Philly," at 12:15. Lunch took an hour. We left at 1:15 and resumed driving up Rte 17.
I got a Philly Cheese Steak Pizza. I am not kidding. Grammy actually got a Philly Cheese Steak. Caroline got the Korean Beef Bolgogi, with three Mondoos and no Kimchi. All of our food was quite good.
The restaurant was clean, well-lit and nicely decorated in a vinyl record musical theme. I especially appreciated several home-made signs that the server explained, were made by a local regular customer.
One sign explained that 'Tipping' was not a faraway Chinese city… We sat under a very large neon sign with the restaurant's name.
We always take a great deal of pride in finding locally-owned restaurants for eating when we are on the road. We like supporting local small businesses. More often than not, they have a story to tell, the food is great and the restaurant employees and servers are fun.
Straight Outta Philly was great. Our server was a local girl, who wants to go to school to be an ultrasound technician. While we were there a number of local folks came to eat, including two post office employees.

Today is the anniversary of D-Day in France during WWII
Tuesday, June 6, 2017
My morning conversation with Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun struggled to awaken this morning. But a fresh cup of coffee finally did the trick. #OBX June 6, 2017. I got up early at 5:45 - 6 a.m.
Today is the anniversary of D-Day in France during WWII.
Yes - as I listen to the waves, I remember that today is the anniversary of D-Day in France during WWII.
And I listen in silence so that I may hear the waves clearly speak for all the silent voices of the past.
I say a morning prayer for the folks many decades ago, who made it possible that I can sit by a tranquil seashore all these years later. I do not take it for granted and I will never forget. I pay homage to those who made it possible. Many of them left a simple young life, full of the future and a life of possibilities ahead of them, from my hometown - and they never came home.
I say a prayer for my Dad who served in the Pacific. I say a prayer for my friends who served in Vietnam while I was stationed stateside. All I could was worry - and pray. I say a prayer for my friends who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. I say a prayer for the continued loss of life in London to the forces of sheer madness.
God bless those brave souls who served at D-Day, for their sense of duty and for their sacrifice so many decades ago. I am simply at a loss to imagine the terror, sense of duty, fate and destiny, and the fear.
All we can do now is pray and live a full life - to do honor for their sacrifice. And never-ever forget...

For several decades, a number of folks have gathered there,every year on Memorial Day, for an impromptu ceremony at the large black
granite memorial with the names of the 18 fellow Carroll countian friends,
neighbors and loved ones who gave their lives in the service of our country
during the Vietnam War.
This year, Carroll County marked its 150th continuous annual
observance of Memorial Day with a parade and ceremonies at the Westminster
Cemetery. The annual tradition was first organized by Mary Bostwick Shellman on

In May 2008, local writer and historian Carrie Ann Knauer
reported, “As best anyone can estimate, 182 Carroll countians have lost their
lives in the armed services during conflicts since 1917. But tracking exactly
how many have died — particularly those in earlier wars in America’s history —
is a difficult task, according to a local historian.”

The Carroll County Maryland Vietnam Memorial Park at thecorner of Willis and Court Street, next to the historic Courthouse was
dedicated on May 28, 1990. Every year at the Carroll County Vietnam Memorial,
we remember those who gave their lives and try to give them a voice.
This year, in a moving tribute about the war and how Vietnam
veterans were treated after the war, Vietnam combat veteran Walter Pete Groomes
poignantly shared some thoughts, with our keynote speaker Charles Harrison, and
my Westminster High School Class of 1971 classmate Doug Battaglini.

The comments of Groomes, Battaglini, and Harrison, tied-in
with the moving remarks by Carroll County State’s Attorney Brian DeLeonardo,
the day before at the annual Pleasant Valley Memorial Day ceremonies. In a
moving presentation, DeLeonardo spoke about his late Dad, who served in
Vietnam. His Dad succumbed a number of years ago, at age 49, to complications
of his exposure to Agent Orange during the war.

What many attending the ceremonies found particularly moving
was his explanation, that for decades most Vietnam veterans never spoke of the
war, or their service to our country. This came as a result of the way most
Vietnam veterans were treated with disdain and scorn by much of society, and
especially the anti-war demonstrators.
