GREETINGS!!

thursday
april 8
the photo hunt word of the day was greeting.
i look for words that have multiple interpretations and then couldn't come up with anything. i drove around town - my new daily habit - looking for anything that could be a greeting.
i saw welcome signs all over but the welcome to East Windsor was unique - someone made an effort to customize that greeting - well done!
then it dawned on me - a yellow ribbon. but how do you find that? it's like a needle in a haystack. so i kept driving and driving. finally, there in front of me, much to my surprise, was a house with TWO yellow ribbons tied to their old oak trees. i found i wanted to know the story that prompted the ribbons...
down the same street was a greeting of respect - a serviceman, saluting. i imagine that there's someone in this neighborhood on a tour of duty and the entire neighborhood shows their support...
i ended the day back at home, with my collection of antique postcards from the early 1900's. i include these greetings and say hey to the adventurers that sent the greeting back in the day. i admire you and send greetings, hoping your journeys continue...
