Thank you, thank you, thank you!! :)

I know what you mean, I would have given anything to have been able to vote for him. I was too young both times.

Good morning Aqua.

Morning Billie :) It's good to be back. Things wrapping up for the holidays turned out to be more hectic than we thought. I think everything is under control now so hopefully I'll be able to visit some before my Turkey day trip.

[Donaeus]

(((Spookbrat))) Great to see you back from NC!! Sounds like you had a wonderful time, I can't wait to hear about it. :)

[SpookBrat]

Hey my friend. I missed you. Can't wait to tell you all about it. Hope your family is well. I have a lot to talk to you about. I'll catch up with you later. Tell your sister hey. :)

[Donaeus]

Missed you too! Everybody's great, we're all chomping at the bits to get to the turkey. Heheheh. I'll give her a big howdy from ya. ;) Talk to you soon.

Afternoon FR's Finest...

The tragic events of the weekend have left numb, angry and sad.

Did manage to spend some time with a great bunch of Military Moms and Dads on Saturday as we encouraged our fellow citizens to Support and Honor our Troops. The support of those driving by our location with their honking horns and waves took the chill out of the windy day. The wind flowing though all the flags held them straight out, but it warmed our hearts to see so many folks supporting our troops.

Praying for continuing blessings and protection of our Armed Forces and for our nation's leaders.

A Flag Forgotten

I saw a flag the wind had tattered
No one to care or think it mattered!
Wind torn and faded stripes were flapping
Pale stars upon dim blue were napping!
I wondered if a bugle blowing,
Would rouse our country to bestowing...
Upon our flag more true devotion;
And stir our hearts with real emotion!
Forgotten there, so bravely flying
A symbol worn, but never dying!
A challenge! to a nation sleeping
A loyal sentry, Watch is keeping!

Aqua, thanks for bringing us military Monday....

God Bless our Military


Also for the pictures of your meeting with Spookbrat and her family. Isn't it wonderful to actually get to meet FReepers in person? Without a doubt, they are nicest, warmest, friendliest people around....not to mention the most intelligent, talented and patriotic. :-)

Morning errrr, afternoon? Almost Evening! To the Finest!

Whiney Mom Moment.

My son's preschool, we raise a little over $100 from a bake sale the kids worked real hard on. We took them to the store last week and helped guide them in picking out food to donate to the town's food pantry.

Today, we loaded the food in wagons and did a walking field trip to the food pantry for them to donate.

MIND YOU, we called last week to let them know we were coming and gave them a reminder call this morning.

The GRUFF man meets us at the door and would not allow us to bring the food in. He handed us milk crates through the door to transfer the food and pass it back to him.

I'm very confused by this. He made us stand in the parking lot with 13 children (which I thought was a little unsafe) and barely said thank you to them.

I'm not 100% sure what the teacher and I were expecting; but we thought the kids would bring the food inside and someone there explain to them what the food pantry was and reinforce the good work they did.

Good afternoon JW.

My heart is numb from the news out of Iraq and Afghanistan this weekend...my heart is raging at the Evil Ones, and the demokratski/leftist enablers who just don't get it.

I agree, the dems add insult to injury with their treasonous ways!

[Aquamarine]

Gosh, thanks for the nice description, you forgot to add tall, that one surprised you. :)
I was smitten with your husband too, he's darling :) Maybe when we get tired of them one day we can trade, LOL.....Hope he likes older women. ;)

[The Mayor]

You would think they would be more grateful but to be honest I think they want $$..

To many place are like this these days, I have found that out thru our donations..

[Aquamarine]

I voted for Reagan both times and it felt wonderful! Everyone in line waiting to vote was smiling and so happy to be voting for such a great man. :)

[Aquamarine]

Good afternoon Aeronaut!

Nice sig gif, is that a new one?

[Aquamarine]

Didn't know you two were FRiends. I think you both have good taste in friends. :)

Good work Dave. Thanks for being such a faithful patriot!

[Aquamarine]

Beautiful post Amy!

Haven't been to your P&P thread in a few days, bet you all are having fun over there. :)

Thoughts and Prayers are with our Troops and Veterans. Thank You to our Military

Yep ! Reagan was a great president alright !

Hey, I played with my Soros 'RATS pic some today. Here's what it came out like ...

I think I need to put the DNC Logo in there in the top middle frame. I'll upgrade it later on ...
