Excellent!
Well, this thread is a delicious treat, and that includes not only the pics but also your comments! Thanks, Sir_Ed!!!!
BUMP!
Did you see this, Salvation? It's fabulous!
Check picture #5. Someone apparently wants four more years.
Great pictures and a great thread.
Thanks!
"My sister Niquita (on the right) and her fellow co-worker Becky before they interpret for the deaf for President Bush."
About 4 weeks ago, we baby sat with our grandkids for a weekend.
We noticed that our 5 year old grand daughter appeared to be signing a lot of her comments to us. We asked her is she was using sign language, and she said yes.
Her Kindergarden teacher is really a great teacher and has taught sign language to the hearing and deaf for years. Part of her routine is to use sign language when she presents the subjects she covers. We hope that it becomes our grand daughter's natural second language.
Niquita seems like a wonderful woman. I have always wanted to learn to sign and be an interpreter. What an honor for her to be able to interpret for our President. Thank her for me and also congratulate her for this accomplishment.
God bless
You got some great pics, sir.
Grants Pass is where I live, it's a wonderful city.
It's changing from a redneck logging and farming community to a hoity-toity upscale wine and croissant retirement community, but it's still an absolutely wonderful place to live. And the best thing is, you're only 20 minutes from Oregon! (Hah hah!)
If they want more info, I'd be glad to tell 'em...

"You're either kidding or on crack."
I'm on crack, when I'm not on meth...
I'll check out those files later after church, thanks...

Great pictures!
My son is the outdoorsman/sports type. His wife is the hoity-toity wine and cheese type.

"I'm not a real Republican but I play one on TV." I agree with you. This is a true comment about McCain.
May I copy this and send it to some friends? with you given due credit of course.
Great! A small town flavor with great emphasis on civic affairs. Summer time has concerts in the park, great county fair, back to the fifties week with 600+ hot rods from the northwest, boat races on the Rogue, homecoming parade down main street....a wonderful place to raise a family. Both our docs (one from Harvard Med) moved here just for the healthy environment for their families....
and.....the rubber duck race. 20,000 yellow rubber ducks are bought by residents and the proceeds go to local charities.... They're dumped off the upriver bridge and is a sight to see......
I know a guy from Waco who went to Crawford for lunch one day. Asked the waitress (all of 18 or 19) if GWB had ever been in. Girl never said a word, only pointed to an autographed picture on the wall of her and our President with his arm around her. I suspect she'll show that to her grandchildren.:-) I'll have to get him to take me out there sometime. I hear the chicken fried steaks are really good!
Great pictures. I've voted every election for the last sixty years . Will vote this year again for GWB God Bless
Oh, sure!
By the way, all the photos were taken by Augusta, not I. I always give her the camera when it comes time to get GOOD shots!
