AMEN re the UN!! Merely a place where every little pissant country can pretend to be the USA, UK, Japan, India, Australia...
If it's okay may I have the one from awhile back that shows Mr. & Mrs./Pres. 1st Lady in a golden hue due to lighting.They look golden.
If you can't find them let me know and I'll get them for you.
It just may take me awhile to search for them.
May I have a side by side pic Toaster?
The above one along side that one from Seattle
with The strutting; no umberella wearing a blue blazer?
During that 5 min downpour.
Others have gotten side by side before.
Would show sun & rain happiness...
If too difficult a request let me know that too.
& I will pick anotheer;single;more recent photo.
Thanks much!
W and Pootie Poot make me laugh.
They just look like a couple of ronery little boys!
