Hi BigWaveBetty and all. Happy Veterans Day.
I was just thinking back and realized how much effort all have put into turning this country around. All the posts, letters, calls, investigations, discussions, opinions, freeps, participation in all areas have borne fruit in that we now have the White House, the Senate and the Legislature.
So, each of our efforts do add to the overall and we can thank ourselves as well as the GOP candidates. Remember the Daffodils? We have all been planting daffodils and they are blooming.
Wonderful isn't it to have the elections turn out as they did?

You should see the smile I have had plastered on my face since Tuesday! Life is good.
Thanks for the new thread.
Happy Veterans Day everyone! I'd like to remember my Dad today. He was a Lt. Col. in the Air Force and fought in Korea. He never told me any stories and I was too young and stupid to ask, so to all of you who have a veteran in your lives still living ask if they might want to tell you some stories.
There were two stories my Dad did tell me about. One was when he taught Charles Lindbergh how to fly a jet (no verification, just my Dad's word, which of course is good enough for me) and the time he and a buddy tried to sail a boat and a barge ( he named after me, lol) from Lowestoft, England across the Atlantic to Miami. The planned route was Lowestoft to Plymouth; Lisbon; Canary Islands; Puerto Rico to Miami.
They hit very rough weather and ran out of time and had to abandon their trip. The made it as far as Las Palmas, Canary Islands. He was big news in our little town. My Grammie saved all the newspaper clippings.
My Dad, the rebel! I love you and miss you Dad.
God Bless all veterans and active duty soldiers, we appreciate you more than you know.
