Thanks! The weather didn't cooperate very well, but it didn't dampen anybody's spirits. And I was remiss in forgetting to mention what a GREAT PLEASURE it was to meet PaMom!! She's a real sweetie!! I was so stressed in figuring out how to post those darned pics, I forgot to mention that. Honestly, freepers are the absolute best! I felt as if I knew her just from her posts! I hope to meet more of you in the future. The people there were so friendly and everybody I asked to take their picture all responded with a big smile. I was really happy to see the now, regrettably, banned BadRay. And SmokeyB was there. I had met them both at support the troop rallies several years back.
Anyway, everybody was just glad to be there with like-minded people. I believe that it IS true - conservatives ARE happier people! Even in the worst of times, we know we can rely on our own best instincts and survival skills. We don't need no steenking government to take care of us!
