**The LadyX edges into the Finest Family Room with head hung low and an apology extended to everyone for arriving late...
trying on "the cat chewed through the cord to the alarm clock" - -
no, of course he's not guilty of that...**
truth is, I slept soundly for 7 1/2 hours, stirring briefly at 7 - a record for the past 2 years.

With coffee in hand, sipping it slowly, Miss Aqua, I soon will be up to speed and be adding more graphics and commentary about the city I love, and make replies into the late evening.

Your Pledge of Allegiance is beautifully appropriate, and the history of The Fort a wonderful introduction!

That's wonderful news! You must be feeling pretty good today.

Glad you like the pledge, the 2nd graphic is a painting of the lighthouse in St. Augustine that I modified just a little. :)

Wow Lady X! I've been to a few of the same places (initial post)! Only being there can one understand the blessings that are offered to us living in America! Just a few of the reasons that America is the greatest places in the world to live!
