First one again!

Hello!

Good morning Billie.

Good morning, Billie, all. It's a rainy, foggy morning in North Texas but reading over this thread just warms me so, I forget it's raining. I'll come back later this evening to check out the other post. I'm so glad I found this. Have a great Friday, and weekend.

Fantastic post ! I like those two sided vingette pictures with the uneven edges, you need to show me how you do that.

The hostess graphic is awesome too although I look a little lonesome. LOL

Rushing off to a GOP lunch Meeting today to talk about supporting our troops with prayers and letters.....then later on this afternoon Rep. Katherine Harris is announcing her announcement at 1:30PM at a Press Conference in the Newtown community of Sarasota about her decision to either seek reelection to the House or to run for the Senate seat vacated by Graham.

Some pundits have said her decision is the best kept secret since the President visited Iraq on Thanksgiving!

But I wanted to drop in to say Hello to my Finest Freeper Friends & to encourage all the Finest to go to patriciaruth's thread to send a special Valentine message to our troops.

You just knew I would have to show up for this one!

As a child, I heard many of the stories of the heroics of the Marines in the Pacific Theater of WWII at islands turned into hellholes of slaughter...

Going into the Marine Corps during the Korean Conflict in 1952,
"our" Chesty Puller was a walking legend, beloved by all - -
gotta love this kind of spirit!!

It was during the greatest ever buildup of the Corps,
and pride coursed wide open through our veins,
knowing about the battles at the Chosin Reservoir,
as well as up and down the entire peninsula of South Korea...

May God give peace and rest to all brave men and women who fight for America,
whether in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines or Coast Guard.

They all did, and still do, make us proud...

Good morning, knighthawk! Know I'm usually always late posting, but this actually was my third attempt this morning to post the darn thread - it kept locking up. Glad it finally posted, and happy to see you were 'first' again! :)

[Billie]

Good morning, Aeronaut - hope you're not too cold 'up there'. :)

[Billie]

Good morning! It's so nice to see you back here every day again, and I'm glad today's post warms your heart. I need to give g'nad a personal ping since he's the one who sent the original pics/poem to me. :)

[Billie]

YooHoo, Mat - hope you're lurking. (And please bring us a big pot of venison stew for lunch!)

[Billie]

Morning, Freezie! Are you getting lots of quilting done?

Is it my imagination or does it seem the calendar pages are getting prettier and cuter every day? :)

[FreeTheHostages]

Yes, I'm getting quilting done. In fact, I woke up early this morning and quilted and suffered a quilting injury -- a small scissor cut -- to my left forefinger.

I guess I just want to be like you and the rest and have a hand injury. It seems all the fad.

Your hand better?

"You just knew I would have to show up for this one!"

LOL

[knighthawk]

I bet it locked up because it's so cooooooooold!

[Billie]

LOL! I didn't think about you looking a litle lonesome in the hostess graphic - I had to clone one or two bluebirds, and I think I added one on the stump instead of another one beside 'you'. :) (You know how I usually try to be so very pc and put us in alphabetical order - MOST of the time!)

Glad you like the post, too. I'll write you in a few minutes about vignetting. :)
