Time for Ron’s weekly haiku challenge…
Yes, I am in extremely sunny Finland (really!!) at the moment, but I have to try and keep up to date with as many challenges as I can! At the moment, I am back at the hotel, the kids are trying to go to sleep, Hubby Dearest has gone out for a swift half (or 5) with my brother, so I have time!

Obviously, an apt prompt as it is Memorial Day in the USA…
Flag & Fallen

Gone, But Not Forgotten
Today raise a flag
In honour of those soldiers
True fallen heroes
Protected flag and country
They’re gone but not forgottenRitu 2016

Thank you sis! 🙂
It was just under 3 hour flight. Should have taken a hour in the car to the airport, but traffic extended it to 2 and a half hours!
From the Airport in Helsinki, around 25 minutes to the hotel, so not bad!!!

Oh, still 3 hours! I thought it was closer. You must have gone to the airport early enough. 2 1/2 hours longer is absolutely nerve-wracking 😦glad you made it! But really cool that it is closer in Helsinki. Just saw that you posted. Will read and comment tomorrow but what I read in the email so far sounded very happy 😊 Enjoy, Sis 😀
