GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!

January was a great and eventful month with the Inaguration and the election in Iraq.

A little dodgy weatherwise, but a good start to 2005.

Little tiny February looks like it's gonna be chock full of events and all kinds of stuff!

Hope everyone has a great day! :o)

God bless the Iraqis for their heroic, historic stance and God bless our President for sticking to his plan for giving them their chance for freedom!

Hi Billie. Love the mish mash of pictures bringing such good news. Freedom is a beautiful sight to behold. :)
The pledge looks good too, is that a new one?

Oh goodie! I like two day threads. Since I can't get here that much these days I don't miss as much when the thread is up more than one day. I like pot luck too. Thanks Billie. (((((((Billie))))))
