When the sun is out we try to get as much laundry done as possible. 

Pascal planned a trip to Belgium and Holland to visit some WWII sites.  The first stop was a massive memorial to the soldiers that fought in and around Bastogne.  My grandfather received his injuries during the Battle of the Bulge. 
Bastogne, Belgium
A church in the town
Malmedy, Belgium.
This site is where close to 100 American soldiers were captured and killed by the Germans in December 1944.  To be in these places is very sobering and it makes war very real.  I think of my grandfather and the leg he lost in fighting for our freedom during World War II.
