Great perspective, thanks Frank, although the dates with the Vietnam start is a bit off.

I dunno if he is that far off on the Vietnam war start. Found this reference.

It took a while for it to occupy a lot of US soldiers but the start could be traced close to the date stated.

First advisors ‘55.  First troops ‘65.

I think yes the first "advisors"is about right.I think we took over from the French?

I was on ship there 63/67. 63/64/65 we were just starting to have air strikes from the Ranger CVA 61.

Yes a great prospective.

I began this crocheted shawl in late February, finished it a couple of days ago.

And I guess I finally figured out how to put a photo in a post so now I need to go pop up the camper and share my build-out.

another way to spend my time at home

painting Cymbidium Orchids in the greenhouse

it's warm and out of the wind, also full of green stuff to munch on like lettuce and chard and chives 

 

I primarily paint landscapes but when I first delved into watercolor painting about 15 years ago I began with flowers - orchids, iris, wildflowers. They are easy, Landscapes are hard.
