Online Help for Veterans...
I recently ran across an article about vets and how there is an easier way to apply for pension benefits. So I looked into it and this is what I found. Project VetAssist a private non-profit organization offering free on line service, guides vets and their survivors applying for the VA Improved Pension Program. The website provides forms to download and step-by-step advice to complete them and the approciate VA office to send your forms.
Financially limited veterans who are 65 or older or physically disabled...and had at least 90 days of service during World War II, Korea, Vietnam or Gulf wars....can apply for the pension program.

Did You Purchase a Lemon...
Have you ever purchased a lemon car, truck, van, SUV, motorcycle, boat or dealing with a lemon consumer product? The state Lemon Laws and other federal consumer protection laws could help you get rid of that lemon! The lemon laws are different in each state, so click on the state on the US map where you purchased your defective vehicle or product, for a lemon law case review from several lemon law attorneys listed on the site, or visit lemon law statutes by state for more information.

The answer depends upon which State you Purchased or Registered your car in. In some States and with proper documentation, you simply file a Complaint. In other States, you will need to hire an Attorney. Check out this site for Lemon Law information to determine if you need assistance dealing with a lemon. In California California Lemon Law affiliates have helped thousands of consumers using state and federal lemon laws. You could qualify for money back, or a replacement for your lemon.

Veterns Listen Up.....
To all veterans of the United States Military if you have any medical issues that are not being addressed I would encourage to visit the following link: Veterans Affairs This link will help you in starting to understand the procedures required to help you to receive earned VA medical care. The most important issue to remember is to call or write your local VA Rep. and request parer work to process a medical claim. All major cities in the U.S. have VA clinics where veterans can go for immediate care for colds and flu that sort of thing. In Toledo Ohio the address is Toledo VA Outpatient Clinic 3333 Glendale Ave. phone number 419-259-2000. I encourage all veterans to take care of their bodies and seek preventive medical attention such as a check up, blood pressure, and all other issues.

Life Changing Move.....Moundville WV Adena Mound
On May 9th I left Swanton Ohio headed to Wilmington NC to find a new job and a new life. On the way I spent several days sightseeing. I ended up in Moundville, West Virginia at the site of the largest Adena Culture Indian Mound in North America. This was my second side trip of the day:
Access to the mound was closed when I arrived...however I did manage to get several photos of the mound...awe inspiring!

Lake View Cemetery....Wade Chapel
While at the cemetery I visited;
Dedicated in 1901, Wade Memorial Chapel was built in honor of Jeptha Wade, founder of The Western Union Telegraph Company, by his grandson. The exterior was designed by W. Dominick Benes and Benjamin S. Hubbell. The interior was designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany.
The awe-inspiring window "The Flight of Souls" is the focal point in the Chapel's interior. The window is done in the Favrile technique developed by Tiffany, giving the glass an opalescence and iridescent quality by exposing it to chemicals and fumes of molten metals during the glass-blowing process. 
The mosaic on the chapel's west wall symbolizes the prophecy and law of the Old Testament.
The mosaic on the east wall symbolizes the fulfillment of the law of the Prophets through the birth of Christianity.
The Wade Chapel is a stunning piece of art. Everywhere there is symbolism...magnificent.

Lake View Cementary...John D. Rockefeller Memorial
While at the cemetery I visited;
John Davison Rockefeller began his career as an assistant bookkeeper for a Cleveland commission merchant. In 1863, Rockefeller entered the oil business, and in 1865 he left the commission business to work full-time in oil. He organized the Standard Oil Co. and became its largest stockholder when it was chartered in 1870. The oil business made him the richest man in the world, worth over $1 billion at the time of his death. He gave away $500 million dollars during his lifetime.
His grave is marked with a very simple headstone and I noticed there was coinage laying on top of it. I found out later that it is customary to leave loose change on the headstone...brings good luck. The tall, white-colored obelisk marks the family burial site.

Life Changing Decision....Moving
On May 9th I left Swanton Ohio headed to Wilmington NC to find a new job and a new life. On the way I spent several days sightseeing. My first side trip was to Lake View Cemetery 12316 Euclid Avenue Cleveland Ohio. It was simply stunning... While at the cemetery I visited;
The Garfield Memorial the final resting place of the 20th President of the United States, James A. Garfield.
In the crypt directly below the Memorial Hall are the bronze caskets of President Garfield (draped with an American Flag) and his wife Lucretia.
President Garfield was shot July 2nd, 1881 in the Washington train station by a disappointed office seeker. Garfield died from his wounds on September 19, 1881, two months short of his 50th birthday.

Daily Walk
I had a visitor today while walking Oak Openings Preserve. This beautiful Millard duck was forging for food as I walked up on him and as soon as he became aware or me..he tried to make a get-a-way. I managed to capture this image of his escape. Spring is really beautiful...the animals are starting to come out...and they are beautiful to behold.

Let's Go Fishing....The Maumee River..
Spent the night boating up and down the Maumee River and Turkey Foot Creek area catching large catfish with my friend Joe. The moon was almost full...the waters and winds were calm making it very pleasurable night on the Maumee River. It was not a very successful night...the fish were not biting...however I did manage to catch one...coming in at a measly 15.5 pounds...LOL! What a thrill!!!

Daily Walk...
Walking Oak Opening Preserve Metropark near Swanton Ohio I came across this Chipmunk that was busy doing whatever it is Chipmunks do. What was unusual...is that this one didn't run off after noticing me. It climbed onto this branch and posed...it was truly wondrous!

She them recited a Rhyme just as if it was yesterday she learned it...the sparkle in her eyes spoke volumes. All good times are past and gone
