[LadyX]

"I do remember a couple of good rants though...one time over the Ninth Court removing God from the Pledge which then provoked LadyX to write one of better stories with COB coming to the rescue and everyone winding up in a big group hug. lol!"

WHAT?? Moi, provoked and off and running?
Why, everyone here knows The LadyX is a meek, mild-mannered and very quiet - - well, um...okay, Marine at heart, who doth manage to explode now and then..:))

And like every good Marine, had backup with Cobby (TexasCowboy by any name remains the same) entering the arena.

You amaze me, Aquamarine, with your long memory! LOL

The topic at hand, though, is our dear SpookBrat. It has been my privilege to exchange e-mails with her the past year, finding her to be a truly exceptional young woman.
It was natural to kinda 'adopt' her so I selfishly could enjoy the many-splendored person she is!

Hers is a wonderful story of overcoming adversity, and of acknowledging the presence of God in her life, and devotion to God, Family and Country.

You bring so much to our lives, SpookBrat - far more than I think you realize - and are indeed a model mother and wife and friend.

I just know your *Special Angel* watches over you from above, so very proud of what his child has become!

I remember that story well....."then Lodwick raises his glass to a toast as we all come together...in a group hug"....something like that. It was beautiful! :)

OK, you guys are being far too generous with your compliments. I am undeserving. I sure do love you LadyX. You have filled an empty spot in my heart. Speaking of which...we'll be up in Franklin, NC the week before Thanksgiving. How far is that from you? I plan on driving through your town (where ever it is). LOL Just let me know where you live and we'll drive through it. I won't keep you or bother you. I just want to hug your neck at the local Mc Donalds. :)
