First a belated Happy Anniversary to you, Guennie! July 3 is a wonderful day for an anniversary, isn’t it? Next,thank-you, so much for your birthday greetings. They are so very much appreciated and I love each of you for remembering!
My apologies for not responding to you before today. I wasn’t on the thread much since the second of July and was really trying to “catch-up” by reading the daily thread starting with the posts from the latest date and working backwards! So that’s why I didn’t respond sooner to your birthday greetings. Mr HOB had a birthday party for me in Maryland – no, we didn’t see any Franken fish! But he did give me a new puppy for my birthday. I get to pick her up the end of the month.Thanks Molly for pinging me to them.
It’s been interesting reading the thread from the third, I must say. I am so sorry not to have been a part of it. All of you who participated in the church music discussion made so much sense when writing your thoughts on classical vs contemporary music in church.
I am a Lutheran and I am very disturbed when the music selected to sing is very modern. Remember when I posted so much angst about the interim pastor who never spoke one good word about America and Americans the Sunday after 9/11? The songs we sang that day were songs re-written by “friends” of his. They, of course, said nothing about loving God, man and country! I literally walked out of church that day crying. TO add insult ot injury, this pastors name is Pastor Christian!
Janey, thank-you for the Pooh graphic, he is very special to me.
Jemian, what is a chicken eighth? Or is that a question for /John?
Citizen, I had a question written for you but I can’t read my writing!
Chair, Culpepper is a nice place! I’ve thought of moving there myself!
Kay, I am so sorry to hear of your neighbor. Prayers to the family. Does it seem to you that we are seeing more and more of this? Young people in their 40’s dropping dead of heart attacks? It reminds me of my brother….
OhioWFan, ISB, Lorena Dog, Purdue Pete, Nita, and all Thank-you for remembering and sending greetings!

A new pup!!!!
Well ... I've got stuff to get done ... be back later ...
What an amazing contrast this man is from the horrific x42! He is truly reflecting the light of the Lord in the darkness.
I've been enjoying your posts today, ohio and you've made a lot of very good points. It's so sad that character, ethics and morals have been so little regarded in the past and that all of this mess and corruption is even happening in the business world. What a blessing to have a man of integrity at the helm of this nation once again. If anyone can get our country back on the right track, it is this President.
