A Cruel Thing

Civil War Reenactment - General Grierson Days - 2006, Jacksonville, IL
What a cruel thing is war:  to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.  
~Robert E. Lee, letter to his wife, 1864~

  2. Lola! Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. I'm about to run out of photos though. Wish it would snow. We have such drab, cold winters in this part of the country.
