GOOD SATURDAY EVENING EVERYONE, FROM SOUPY TENNESSEE! It's taken a while to get through thanks to our luverly weather.
Hello to all our troops, veterans, and allies around the globe. THANK YOU for protecting the USA! Your efforts and sacrifices are deeply appreciated.
It's nice to see the words of those who heard our President speak to them recently. It obviously meant a lot to them to have him visit them and give his words of encouragement and support. It appears to be just what the doctor ordered to give them a huge boost.
Dang, I finally get in and my hubby tells me he has the boat ready to go out to supper. I'll be back as soon as we get home. Everyone have a wonderful evening!

"A Local Call"
A man decides to write a book about churches around the USA. He starts by flying to San Francisco, and went to a very large church and began taking photographs. He spots a golden telephone on a wall and is intrigued with a sign which reads "$10,000 a minute."
He asks the pastor about the phone and the sign. The pastor says the phone is a direct line to Heaven and if he pays the price he can talk directly to God.
As he continues to visit churches in Seattle, Boise, Chicago, Milwaukee, New York, Philadelphia, and on around the U.S., he finds more phones with the same sign, and the same answer from each pastor.
Finally, he arrives in South Texas. Upon entering a church along the Rio Grande, lo and behold, he sees the usual golden telephone. But THIS time, the sign reads "Calls: 25 cents."
Fascinated, he asks the pastor, "I've been in cities all across the country and in each church I found this golden telephone, phones that call God. But, in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute. Your sign reads 25 cents a call. Why?"
The pastor, smiling gently, replies, "Oh, my son, that's very easy to explain. You see, you're in TEXAS now and, of course, from here it's a local call ."

Pro-Bush Rally at the Alamo
About one thousand people gathered in front of the Alamo in San Antonio today in a rally showing support for President Bush, and support for a possible war in Iraq.
Participants chanted "George W. Bush," sang "God Bless America" and waved American flags and signs declaring that "Saddam's Days are Numbered" and "God Supports President Bush."
"I'm just so frustrated with all these peaceniks and the left over Communists," said participant Ron Sieglar, who was wearing a jacket covered with American flags.
"That's why I'm dow here today, to support our troops."
A handful of anti-war protesters stood nearby waving signs reading "Drop Bush, Not Bombs" and "No War for Oil." The two groups did not come into contact and there were no incidents.
Many of the participants said they have relatives deployed in the Persian Gulf region.
Joe Johersky's son is in the Kuwaiti desert, and he said his son indicated the morale of his unit was damaged by coverage of last weekend's widespread anti war protests.
"He called me Thursday night, they were having a severe sandstorm," he said. "We have our Army and Marine guys living out there in the desert and in the middle of severe sandstorms. The least we can do is give them our support."
Even though many of the signs displayed at the rally were provocative, one displayed a peace sign made up of bombs and machine guns with the slogan, "We've got your peace, right here!," participants stressed that the rally was pro President Bush and anti Saddam Hussein, but not pro war.
"No one wants to go to war," participant Judy Watson said. "Anyone who did would be totally insane."
But her sister Eileen Watson, who called President Bush a 'Godly man,' said sometimes war is necessary and even desirable.
"I love this country, and I'm afraid that if we don't stand up and say that our president is doing the right thing, then I'm not doing my duty as a citizen," she said.
