Oh yeah, anniegetyourgun, thanks for posting this thread.....
Indeed we will. Thanks for all your posts & pings, too.
I thank each and every one of you for the conversations, and for the discussions, and yes even the arguments. Some of you I yak with privately, or share my prayers, or defend my views of our Constitution and what makes our country great. We've discussed everything, from Prayer threads, fundraisers, Ronald Reagan and W, the War for Southern Independence to a late-night scramble to locate a missing race fan, a downed plane near China, freeping the dims and everything in between. Cheese, meese and All you base are belong to me. We've had fun and enjoyed life.
It's a mixture of folks that have common beliefs - from a wonderful retiree in Alabama that I intend to meet, along with a friend in North Carolina and and a brother and sister in Christ in Texas, and even a Dish Head hiding out! Others are from Wisconsin and points North and west, and one down south I will call when I get my CJ. One or two have left, and I miss them.
Whatever we have shared or argued about I wouldn't trade for the world. My friend from Texas I thank you for your words of encouragement, my friends from Florida - the best to you and new members of your families. Those that I argue with I do respect - I might not agree with your views, but I value your friendship none the less.
Ms. Davis, I would hope that one day I can share a mint julep with you and the President. Deo vindice.
May God bless you and yours. We know how the book ends.
