Holocaust Memorial Day
Today marks the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. It is a day to celebrate the demise of a hell on earth and to remember those hundreds of thousands lost. Peace to the survivors and their families.
My blog title originated from the moniker I used (still use) in the motorcycling community. I have been an active long-distance and touring motorcyclist since I
bought my first motorcycle in 2000. My current ride of choice is a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, hence the name "girlonaglide". After re-reading the
definitions of girl and glide it dawned on me that the title still fits.
My riding days seem far behind me as I spend more time at my suburban home with my 3 cats, collection of paper art supplies, and husband of 17 years.
We occasionally busy ourselves with projects in the yard, such as growing organic vegetables and maintaining a butterfly garden.
Not often enough, we'll take on DIY projects for our "House of Potential". We bought this little fixer-upper quite some ago and have proven to
ourselves and all who know us that change doesn't happen fast here at our house.
I often daydream of living in or very near mountains where there's snow on the peaks and fertile soil beneath my feet. I'm originally from Indiana; a displaced Hoosier I'll always be.
I really have no business living in Florida but for now it is home.

If you ever have a chance to go to the Holocaust Memorial Center in the Detroit area... do it. It is fantastic beyond description.
Nice thought. It was millions by the way.
