Food, Fun, Tank

juicy, sublime!

Japanese Model 95 Light Tank
The Type 95 Ha‑Go was effective early in WWII—fast: cheap, useful against infantry and light opposition—but by mid‑war it was under‑armed and under‑armored, outmatched by Allied tanks and often used as a mobile pillbox or packed with explosives as
"suicide tank" driven toward
enemy lines to explode.

come from stability.
It comes from relaxing

Even though we have so many memories from World War II
and so many old tanks to remind us of it, we still have wars,
unbelievable.
The last quote is very beautiful, my friend...

Such a gorgeous photo of Pixie, Cloudia. I never thought I'd see a tank painted in such a joyful fashion. Blessings!

A super burger, that one! Hope recently floods haven’t dampened your life. Loved today’s quotes. I once planted some crotons…love their colors

"And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Isaiah 2:3–4 The colorful tank is the next best thing!!!

Hello,
The colorful tank is cool, I am wondering if we have any allies left now.
The burger looks yummy. Pixie is always adorable.

Cloudia said...

Thank you friends! Yes the flooding has been amazing but fortunately I am in a safe building and appreciating it very much. After yours lived in places like a coffee shop and our boat, it feels like sharing us being safe indoors. Thanks for your good wishes as we all pray for peace

I was already hungry when I started reading your post, and the excellent-looking hamburger didn't help one bit!

I'm on a liquid diet right now and the burger looks soooo darn good. I'm glad you are safe from the flooding.
