My Dragon Fly and Me
If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!
By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone
On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...
And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...
Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Alabama's silhouette lands: The orange globe. The reflecting pool. The skinny legs. Sunsets don't get much better than this at Blount Cultural Park in Montgomery

May I have your attention? A leader emerges from about 1,000 endangered Indian star turtles seized from a smuggler by Thai Customs in Bangkok.

Tension over dinner: Dividing one animal carcass by two coyotes equals bared fangs at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, Wyo.
These guys don't share well at all.

Bless you, Ms. Feather. ...Actually, I think I must've taken a wrong turn somewhere - I don't think I'm artistic enough to even be allowed in here to watch. .....grin.

Hello everyone!

In the U.S. the tradition derives from a Scottish poem:
- As the light grows longer
- The cold grows stronger
- If Candlemas be fair and bright
- Winter will have another flight
- If Candlemas be cloud and rain
- Winter will be gone and not come again
- A farmer should on Candlemas day
- Have half his corn and half his hay
- On Candlemas day if thorns hang a drop
- You can be sure of a good pea crop

Passed on to me and I pass it on in turn. (and I completely endorse her feelings in this matter!)
(The appendix is by far the finest statement printed today!)
A mother asked President Bush, "Why did my son have to die in Iraq?"
Another mother asked President Kennedy,"Why did my son have to die in Viet Nam?"
Another mother asked President Truman,"Why did my son have to die in Korea?
Another mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,"Why did my son have to die at Iwo Jima?"
Another mother asked President W. Wilson,"Why did my son have to die on the battlefield of France?"
Yet another mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?"
And yet another mother asked President G.Washington,Why did my son have to die near Valley Forge?"
Then long, long ago, a mother asked...
"Heavenly Father, why did my Son have to die on
a cross outside of Jerusalem?"
The answers to all these are similar --
"So that others may have life and dwell in peace, happiness and freedom."
This was emailed to me with no author and I
thought the magnitude and the simplicity were awesome
Love to All
IF YOU DON'T STAND BEHIND OUR TROOPS,
PLEASE, FEEL FREE... TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM !!!

Quotes of a leader
The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.How fortunate for leaders that men do not think.
Success is the sole earthly judge of right and wrong.
Who says I am not under the special protection of God?
The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.
The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.
The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.
Not one our our Democrats!!
It was Adolf Hitler!
