Good morning, Molly! I got another section of the yard cleaned yesterday, plus planted some hosta. I wish I had been able to do more, as it is RAINING today, but at least I am making progress. I do not want to look out there in June and say "Why didn't I get that stuff done before it got away from me?"

I notice on the News side that now that the war is winding down, all the single-issue people are reappearing, to tell us why Bush has lost there vote forever. Bah! I do not want to engage in this silliness so soon after such a stirring victory. Late last night someone posted a painting they had found of President Bush. I am going to go find it and post it here. Back in a bit.

Good morning ladies!

Wanted to tell you a little about last Friday...

We didn't start out immediately for Indiana, as an old friend was in town again so we got together for Brunch and celebrated our Victory in Iraq...

Then at noon, husband and I left for Miami U. for a long-planned visit, which happily we were able to make, despite all that's been going on...

Alison, William's girlfriend, was having her exhibit and reception as a candidate for her MFA.

So we arrived about 5 p.m. for that and had a wonderful time with her, William, and a number or their friends.

Met Alison's mother and brother...It was all very celebratory, as A. had learned from her profs that her degree would be awarded, and the profs were very happy and complimentary of her work.

Then W., husband and I left for Indiana.

Long day, but very , very nice.

I listened to a little of Al Sharpton on Sean's show last night.

Sean asked him if the war was worth the Iraqi people's liberation. Sharpton couldn't/ wouldn't answer it.

Hmmm...very telling for a man who is always spouting off all the injustices towards blacks.
