Farewell, Sen. Ted Kennedy. Thank you for your courage and immeasurable achievements on our behalf.

Hi Tara,
Yes! What I liked about Senator Kennedy is that he spoke up for the underdog. He somehow got along on both sides of the isle too. He made an impact on our country in a good way. We still need his voice.
Thank you for your tribute!

So sad to lose such a great man. With his passing, it almost seems like the end of an era. Our country needs more champions like him and the family members he's gone to rejoin...
A lovely tribute, Tara. May he rest in peace.

I was watching the funeral mass this morning and thinking about what a great man he was - what a legacy.
Sending love,
Deb

I thought I commented. See, told you my comments were being eaten! lol
I'm not to up to speed on all he did, just that I know from his reputation that he was well loved and well liked. I'm sure he will be missed greatly by so many. xo

What gloriously beautiful photos, Tara! Perfectly fitting for this man who championed healthcare so fervently. I was watching the evening news, with Tom Brokaw speaking, and watching all those people on those steps. And tears came. The end of an era. I'm not a youngster, but I don't remember much about John Kennedy, the President. I was in first grade. This is so sad. I just hope someone with real possibility takes up the baton and carries it forward for him, toward the US taking care of its people when they're sick. What a notion for such a powerful country! (Snort) All his work should not be in vain.

P.S. I've pretty well closed down my gardening blog (View From The Pines), and have taken everything over to my decorating blog, Cozy Little House. Got injured in May and can't do much gardening yet. What I can do will have to go on that blog. I'm working with http://enchantedmakeovers.org with their blog. So can't have too many things going at once. I tell you this so you will know I am. I told myself, I know Tara will have something today on this!

Tara,
Hi there friend. I haven't been around the blogging world much lately but I think of you often.
I can always count on you to post something relevant and wonderful. Thank you. Did you here Obamas eulogy? it was perfect. So many people with glorious things to say.
When will you be heading west again?

Tara, I read your post on tongue and cheek regarding the Paris Market in Savannah. I am the owner, my name is Paula. I looked up the Axel Vervoodt book and we actually paid $125.00 for it. Next I went to Assouline, the publisher, and checked their price which was $95. I will figure this out on monday but would like to offer you a refund and you can just send us the book back....we will pay the shipping. I want all my customers to have a positive experience at The Paris Market and am sorry that you did not get more attention in this matter.

I remember the Kennedy brothers when they were young and filled with promise. Living in New England, the Kennedy family has been part of my culture throughout my life.
Senator Kennedy sincerely cared and worked hard achieve to much for many. He will be missed. I join you in farewell. Your cathedral photos are a lovely and fitting tribute.

I watched the drive to Boston, through so many familiar landmarks, and to the JFK library which brought those memories of meeting this amazing man when he was full of life, and was so very saddened. I also listened to his speech in the Senate on the minimum wage bill. That by itself showed how much and how hard and fearlessly he worked for those who hadno voice. Lest this turn into a eulogy.... I join you in saying farewell.
xoxo
