Cheers, everyone.
Cheers with your Beers Lod.. ;)
I've just GOT to get a good digital camera so I can take great pics like you. I swear I can see that child's back molars, even.
Yup... had to tell him to put it down and EAT! All he did was drink the beer.. ;)
LOl..if you could see the original, you can count the veins in his ears..and see the french fries in his molars. ;)
The pic you are looking at is cut waaaay down in size and it loses a lot of detail.
My 14 year old nephew on the way to the car - after grannie added some special sauce.
Those kids have been spending a LOT of time at the pool.
Yes they have Val, but it looks like their swimming may be cutailed for the next four or five days, as it says lots of rain and boomers on the way.
Hey you... I don't use my special sauce for photo's. I keep all that good stuff in the bar where it belongs. ;)
Save some for me!!!!!
LOL.. the way I feel lately you could have it all, but I don't think it's your sauce of choice..;)
Great action shot there, Ace.
Sada cheers over there.
SOLDIERS LEARN NEW MEANING OF 'FIRST CLASS'
(FRISCO, July 11) -- A few passengers on a recent American Airlines flight gave a whole new meaning to the phrase "first class", when they gave returning R&R-bound U.S. soldiers an unexpected upgrade. "There are a couple of flights I'll remember forever, and this will always be one of them", recalls American flight attendant Lorrie Gammon.
On July 4, Gammon was on duty when 12 soldiers boarded her American flight from Atlanta to Chicago. They were on their way home from Iraq to begin 2 weeks of R&R. Suddenly, one of the first-class passengers stood up, took his boarding pass back to main cabin. Next thing, the entire first-class section of the plane stood up and gave their seats for the servicemen and women.
Gammon says she didn't know what to make of it at first. "They were almost afraid to take their seats and were trying to give them back, and the businessmen were like, 'No, you guys sit here, we're going back to main cabin.'" Gammon says the flight attendants were watching this from the galley, and trying but failing to stop from crying. She says the soldiers had tears in their eyes too. She says one of the officers told her the soldiers have been in Iraq for more than a year, with bombs going off around them every day.
"Just to know we're behind them, means the world to them", Gammon says. She says she knows people want to show their support for our troops, and on that day, on that one flight, she saw that support displayed right in front of her. For on that day, the seats in first class were filled with first-class American soldiers.
