Dear John:

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO

A splendid piece of analysis....witty, pithy and priceless!

This deserves repeating:

"Our war against terror is a contest of will in which perseverance is power," declared Bush in his State of the Union last January. "In the ruins of two towers, at the western wall of the Pentagon, on a field in Pennsylvania, this nation made a pledge, and we renew that pledge tonight: Whatever the duration of this struggle, and whatever the difficulties, we will not permit the triumph of violence in the affairs of men -- free people will set the course of history."

You still there Lady or did the storms wash you away?
Here's another painting of his that I'd like to have of hydrangeas.

I know you're busy Billie but have a look at this. :)

Hi Julie! Are you still in Massachusetts?

[Dubya]

True. No war is easy. I don't like the way we are fighting this one. Wars should be fought to be won. This war is turning into a joke on our military IMO. It would be a lot faster if we deceided to win it.

Actually had to shut down very quickly at three p.m., a thunderstorm and close lightning suddenly right on top of me.

They'll be around off and on all evening, so I'll be in and out....will be like this through Monday, according to the Augusta TV station.

It's bad here too. My hubby got hung up in Gainesville during rush hour, all the red lights were out. He said it was a nightmare!

Hi to all!

Looks like I have some reading to do :O

I see some very funny graphics. I'll try to catch up.

Good Night Freepers Finest

Excellent essay JohnHuang2, as always thank you. Great photos Billie. Yep, the two of you are quite a team, smiling. Will be going on vacation, been very busy getting everything together. Putting my pup Lucy in the doggie motel, breaks my heart to do that!! I will be hanging at the beach in the great state of South Carolina. Big family reunion, will be a great time! LadyX, wish you lived closer to where I am going, I would be honored to buy you dinner :-)

Take Care All

Glad I saw this fairly soon after you posted, Colleen.

Hope you have a wonderful, wonderful time during your family gathering!

Wishing you blue skies, fluffy clouds and many treasured happy memories - - -

Wish I weren't on the other side of the state..:(

"Maybe sweetliberty knows something about nicmarlo"

Actually, I have been getting very concerned about her. I have FReepmailed her with no response. I had planned on seeing if y'all had heard anything when I got back this weekend. I guess not. I know she was having a hard time with her job, a problem I can certainly relate to. I have her address around here somewhere. If I don't hear something soon, I will drop her a note.

[JohnHuang2]

Thank you, friend. You're post #44 is right on the money, btw.

[JohnHuang2]

Why, thank you, Molly :-)

[JohnHuang2]

Gracias, my friend.

Re: #54 -- hehehehe!

[JohnHuang2]

awfully glad you had a little time this morning to talk to us!

Me, too ;-)

[JohnHuang2]

Billie probably threatened to reduce your 2 cents to 1 if you didn't take the blame,

No she didn't. More like 1/2 cent....hehehe ;-)

[JohnHuang2]

Thank you! (((Mama_Bear)))

[JohnHuang2]

[JohnHuang2]
