Hi, MO!

[Mo1]

LOL .. My favorites, were the ones that would SCREAM at you as you walked pass them

[dutchess]

Hi Mo...How's the potty training coming LOL!

[Pippin]

I see the 'rats are back in Austin.

Maybe they should despense some "Texas Justice" on them! ;o)

[Mo1]

Hey Pippin, have you been staying out of trouble??

[Pippin]

As always! ;o)

[Mo1]

Oh it's going just great, she hasn't had an accident in days .. but then again, I can't get her off the potty .. she seems afraid that she'll wet her pants and feels safer just sitting there .. LOL

Hi, Lori!

Thanks for posting the history of Besty Ross and the American flag!

I love it when y'all feature an historical theme or event or person. :O)

Hi Lori...FINALLY made it. It is so strange with yesterdays thread. When I first click on it I get the red x's. Then if I go to the last post, then clink on "back" on my Internet Explorer bar it goes back to the thread WITH ALL THE PICTURES...WIERD! I'll try to reupload the pictures later.

Again, beautiful thread today as well as interesting read. My grandmother, who immigrated from Poland, was a trained seamstress and one Halloween made me an outfit so I could be Betsy Ross....It was so cool!

[dutchess]

Anna...thanks for posting the directions for making the star. As MamaBear said...many of us don't click on the links. Glad to see you here!

[nicmarlo]

NO!!!! She has NOT been staying out of trouble....at all.

Hi Aqua. My tool bar is still on the right. A couple people have tried to fix it to no avail. Actually I'm getting used to it (sort of!).

[dutchess]

I never heard any stories about Betsy and Ben either...And you're not going to tell us??? NOT FAIR! :o)

[Pippin]

Don't believe her Mo!

[dutchess]

Hi Dave. Hugs to your precious grandkids!

[nicmarlo]

Mo, don't believe Pippin

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Pippin. I know you like American history, so you will probably be pleased to know that I will be doing a historical profile every other Friday as my contribution to our thread. Don't tell anyone, but the next one will be on Davy Crockett - one of the most colorful people in our country's history and a favorite of mine. I am going to see if Billie will let me post it on the 23rd since we will be in Australia on the 30th. I may have to do Davy's in two parts, there is just too much interesting information to fit into one post. :-)

Hi Free. What a cute calendar today! How did the freep go yesterday? We had huge thunderstorms last night so I stayed off the computer and am just now catching up!

[dutchess]

Happy Friday to you John. Really pretty pictures today! Love the butterfly!
