WOOT! WOOT! Where HAVE you been! I like your new handle! Just GREAT to be agreed with, isn't it? (I never complain.) 😊 When did you change your tag? Everything fine with you and yours? Thanks for the shout out! Let me know. Rita ---------------------------- LOL I don't always identify as bushwon, so I probably have been on some of same threads as you--even posted a couple threads on immigration and H-1B Visas...you may have anted in and posted on them, but not known it was me ;) Besides that, I've been gardening and traveling...new grand baby, grandchild b-day party passing of relative, move of one my sons from Texarkana to Rochester...culture shock LOL Overall, we We are all doing fine :) Changed screen name when Bush came out and defended "indispensable" media, free press etc. right after Pres. Trump came out slamming press for fake news...Just couldn't take having that screen name anymore! Jim allowed the change. Freedom56 was taken by someone who posted one sentence 13 years ago, so I chose Freedom56v2 for version 2 ;)

Ahh, well, dormant, you are not! That is a good thing, and nice to hear about the “56v2”. Are you so sick of explaning all this?? HA! I smiled when you said Bush lauding this current sick, evil media drove you to dump his name. I get it.

I am more disappointed... no,.. “disgusted” is a better word, with George and Laura. I was never a big Laura fan except for appreciating her decency for mostly resisting her impulses to openly reject her husband’s conservative Christian leanings, and also her willingness to stick to non-controversial projects, while First Lady. Her pro-abortion opinion shocked me. So blatantly selfish and absolutely un-Christian, I was permanently disgusted.

About the Rochester move. Just, wow! Did you get up there during the move?

All I’ve been privileged to see of Rochester, MN, was during a week on the Mayo campus, with my father in Mayo and my mother blocks away admitted in the St. Mary Hospital location, and me alone in very pleasant hotel (at that time) right on the campus. That experience made me wonder if your son by chance was in medicine.

Michael Landon (Little House on the Prarie) was on the very same floor, sadly, dying of cancer approximately 90 days after his diagnosis. Poor thing. I passed his room just to pray for him. He probably was alone at the moment, with only the foot of his bed visible and his room silent.

I have to add I was able to steal away and take the city tour of the Mayo home residence. I was so impressed with the house itself and the incredible history of the brothers, Mayo. Have supported Mayo intermittently ever since.

I see the cycle of life has engaged you since we last spoke. Sorry about the loss of your relative, and of course happy to hear about the addition of the new little one. Surreal isn’t it, when we’re going through these things, to recognize the balance of life ebbing and again flowing.

Thanks very much for the nice synopsis, 56!
Rita
