Kitty, you are the sweetest person! I like the gold! Goodness, there's a lot to learn, isn't there? Lots of times, on my little graphics, like the kitty, I love just that little trim on them. Thank you so much for your kindness!

Thank you for the nice Daily Bread message this morning, Mr. Mayor.

[jaycee]

Terrific pictures, Lori! There’s a lot of bikers competing for sure! Thanks for posting.

I’ve gotta tell you how pretty those mountains are in that picture....wow!

[The Mayor]

My pleasure Jaycee!
Runnin out the door once again.
Have a great Friday.

[jaycee]

Lovely picture you posted last evening, Meg. Computer moving very slowly this morning....thinks its F.R....it’ll be alright after while. I finally got my double post removed a little bit ago. It happens to me more when its running slow as I sometimes hit post twice...ut oh!

Have a nice day, Meg!

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

I’ve gotta tell you how pretty those mountains are in that picture....wow!

Good morning, jaycee. You must be talking about this shot.

That is our mountain range, the Sierra Nevadas, to the east, where Sequoia, Kings Canyon and (further to the north) Yosemite National Parks are located, and that is the snow pack that will provide water for our agriculture here in the valley. Water is always an issue and the snow pack is vital to the survival of our farmers. We should have much more snow up there than we have but the season isn't over yet and we are hoping a few more storms will drop more snow.

In the shadows you can barely see a dairy, where those "happy California cows" live, and beyond that looks like an orchard, could be almonds. In the foreground is some kind of row crop. This one photo is a pretty good composite of what our valley is about. Dairy and agriculture framed by beautiful mountains to the east and hills and ocean to the west.

If it weren't for the liberals who have ruined this state, I could live happily here, but as it is now, all I want to do is live anywhere else. Well, maybe not anywhere else, but somewhere else. Lots of people from this area are moving to Tennessee, I've heard. You may not want them, LOL....but they're coming.

[Mama_Bear]

Have we seen this one before? Very cute!

Happy "Wear Red FRiday" to all!

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Mayor.
We appreciate seeing another ODB lesson today.
Thank you.

TGIF!!!! It has been a strange week.
Wishing you a beautiful Friday.

[jaycee]

A——They’re adorable!
B——They’re so beautiful!
C——They are cutie’s full of charm!

I changed the words from an old song....if you remember the song, you are as old as me.....LOL! I loved it though!

[jaycee]

I did think those mountains were gorgeous and thank you for all the good information about them! I learned things that I was not aware of before! I could see that they had snow on them!

California is a beautiful place.....too bad ‘some’ have ruined it for all the good folks! Really sad, isn’t it?

We would welcome some to Tennessee as long as those liberal idiots don’t come here. I hope we don’t get many though. I love it the way it is right now. LOL~~~

[Mama_Bear]

Didn't mean to give you a geography lesson. LOL.

I think the people who are leaving CA and going to Idaho, Arkansas and Tennessee are people like us who are fed up with this state and the way the liberals are running it - and ruining it. Even though the San Joaquin Valley is conservative, we have no hope of taking the state back because of the huge liberal enclaves in SF and LA.

Have a good day, jaycee. I have some running around to do, so I need to get going. HUGS!

[JustAmy]

LOL
Good morning, Jaycee. Thank you.
Well I'm at least as old as you are. :)
Cute rendition of an old song.

Have a Fabulous Friday.

[JustAmy]

Happy Red Friday, MamaBear.

Unless I goofed again, today's Opening Graphic is new.
I had planned to use it last week.
After we declared it "Love Week", I put this one back on the shelf. :)

Have a fun day!!

[Mama_Bear]

Lovely poppies, MEG! In a few weeks California will be putting on her wildflower show. It is always so pretty in the spring along the foothills.

[JustAmy]

Great picture of our valley, MamaBear.

Thanks for letting others know what a wonderful place this once was.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Diver.

I failed to thank you for the picture of the race the other day.
You really captured the action. Thank you.
Do the racers come back again every year?

Enjoy our beautiful weather and have a fantastic Friday.

Happy (french) Fry Day, everyone!
