On the 75th Anniversary of D-Day The cemetery is in the center of the town, across from the dam and just a hundred or so yards from the river itself.

BRIGHT SHINY DAY
SHINE |THE DAILY POST I am so tired this morning, I don't feel at all shiny. Mostly, I feel like I need a few more hours of sleep. But, things to do today. Veterinarians to call. Coffee to drink.
