Welcome
Welcome to A Frog In My Soup! My name is Shera and I am the mom behind the "Soup" or the "Frogs" whichever you happen to be reading about. My hubby and I have been married for 18 years. We have 6 sons that frequent these pages: CJ (16), Salesman (13), Tater (12), J-Man (8) & The TwinkyDinks (or Tweebs depending on their mood) - Bugs & Monkey (6 & 6).

Wow Shera, what a great reminder. I saved every newspaper and magazine from those days and kept them in zip-loc baggies in my closet. My step-kids were also too young then to fully comprehend all that happened, but I knew that someday they would want to know more. When they are ready, they can read all about it from the reporters who did such a good job of documenting it all.

Great idea Trisha! I definitely did NOT have that kind of foresight, have to rely on current documentaries and other information.
You are right though, in that moment, there was definitely pure, raw, talented reporting. Very much unlike what I’m used to seeing now!
Beautiful, Shera. I felt compelled to write about it this year too.
You will love New York. It is a fun place!

I cried when I read this.. I was in high school, so I remember a lot about that day.. I can’t imagine having to explain stuff like this to my daughter (who is now 19 months old). We all need to remember though..
I think I’m going to make some patriotic premade scrapbook pages now.. That’s what I do. I scrapbook… Anything I’m feeling or thinking, I scrap about it. Thanks for sharing.
