Good Morning. What a great 'refresher course' in flag history.

You are so correct, Mama Bear. Betsy was one of the Finest.

GOOD MORNING ALL!!! It's Friday, yippee!!!!

[Mama_Bear]

Apparently TODAY is the day Domania is changing servers and merging the mirror site files with the others, so none of my graphics are showing up! When I previewed this morning, all the images were there, now the ones that I have on the d21c site are not coming up.

I am hoping that soon the site will be back up, until then, I guess we we are going to have to put up with the red Xs. Sorry folks, my images and my border is gone and my post looks just awful. :-(

[nicmarlo]

"Let your heart not be troubled".......it'll be filled up with graphs and pics in no time; and when your server comes back up, all will be just fine. : )

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning. I am just SICK over my post being messed up without the graphics! This is a major move for the server and they are likely not to come up at all today.

I am going to see if I can find a different location to upload the graphics and have the moderator repost the thread. Sigh........I'll be back later. :-(

[nicmarlo]

Or is that supposed to read: "Let not your heart be troubled"??? Oh well, there I go again! : )

[Mama_Bear]

"Let your heart not be troubled".......it'll be filled up with graphs and pics in no time; and when your server comes back up, all will be just fine. : )

Bless your heart, nicmarlo.........but I could just cry, or throw a fit, or something! :-(

But, instead, I will get busy and see if I can get the images onto the server at our business. This could take awhile. LOL. Be back later.

I'm smiling......... really, I am! :-) LOL.

Happy Friday, everyone!

You were right, they are back. I re-uploaded them to the server and they are coming up now! Yes!! All is well. :-)

Molly Pitcher salutes Betsy Ross!! Thank you for the wonderful tribute, Mama Bear, and good morning to you and everyone.

dutchess,ohio,WVNan;mountaineer, I would like to introduce DollyCali. She's a fine patriot who lives just a little n. of me in the Cuyahoga Valley, and is interested in our next get-together.

Dolly - dutchess and ohioWfan are the fellow Buckeyes. Nan and mountaineer live in western W. Virginia. We had a great time at our Jan. luncheon.

And I know you ladies mentioned a couple of other ohio ladies....

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, Molly. Wishing you a beautiful Friday.

Welcome, DollyCali. It is a pleasure to meet you....what a fun profile page you have! Enjoyed the pictures. When I get a bit more time, I need to go back and read the captions and quotes. :-)

Good morning, Mama_Bear!
A fascinating glimpse into life as it used to be - -

We can hardly imagine a world where there was no 'life insurance' or Social Security, and the impact of widowhood as a consequence. Opportunities for women to earn a way for themselves were severely limited, other than domestic paths - seamstresses, baking, boarding houses, etc.

It would have been a tough row to hoe for those with limited skills....makes you appreciate all the more, those women with 'gumption' who succeeded in coping well.

Whatever would Betsy have thought of a woman as the pilot of a B-2 bomber, such as the one who participated in the May Sea & Air Show at Ft. Lauderdale?!!

Hi Lori...just stopped in and the graphics are there...and the thread is terrific!. Have to run but wanted to stop in and say hi and tell you what a great job you did (BTW...I'm still seeing the red x's on yesterdays thread). Will try to "visit" during lunch!

[LadyShallott]

What a great thread this morning. I am always impressed! I hope everyone is having a good morning. Just dropping in to say hello. :-)

Good morning, Mrs. Bear...) Pics and all are coming through just perfect.

Thanks for today's thread, and the history you share. Somehow, I was startled upon seeing Betsy Ross' home. Her name is so familiar, but never felt I knew the person until now.

Good morning to all Hostess-babes and FRiends.

If I've not lost track...today is FRIDAY.

Life is good.
