Thanks for the picture and history of the Fire Island lighthouse. I'm learning so much today!

[dutchess]

What a lovely Thomas Kincade picture. Thanks for posting it Aeronaut!

Hey Lori...Can't wait to see all your Australia photos...especially as they were taken by a "professional"!

Isn't dansy's greeting just the sweetest thing today?

[dutchess]

I took pictures, but they are all slides and I don't have the slide adapter for my scanner so will have to rely on Algore's internet to provide a place where I can steal a pic

LOL...poor Al...little did he know that, by inventing the internet, he was providing the home for FreeRepublic! Thanks AL!

Absolutely gorgeous (((((((((feinie))))))))))))
What a view! Thank you for posting that!
(And, you *really* need to visit more often!)
:-)

[dutchess]

May the Lord always be blessing America, and keep a special lookout for our President in this, our time of trouble

Amen. Thanks for posting the lovely pictures also.

[dansangel]

For this noble gesture I get accused of gloating. :-)

Oh puh-leeeze! :-)

Just to stay on topic here's a lighthouse

Just for the sake of curiosity, could you have made it just a *teensy* bit smaller? Sheesh! Where's my *magnifying glass*??? :-)

[dansangel]

Isn't dansy's greeting just the sweetest thing today?

Thanks for trying, sweet sistah, but the *damage* is already done thanks to what's-his-name.

:-)

Hi Martin...beautiful pictures...you all are inspiring me to take up lighthouse visiting!

Hey Lori...Can't wait to see all your Australia photos...

Hiya, dutchess!

Be careful what you ask for, Sis. He took hundreds. LOL!

I'll post a few, here and there, every once in awhile. I still haven't seen any of them, except the ones he took at the koala habitat.

BTW, I meant to tell you. We searched for the Romanian Project booth at the convention. Finally JK asked someone about it and was told that their application for a booth had been received late, but they had agreed to waive the deadline and let them have one anyway, but then no one ever contacted them about it again.....or something to that effect. Anyway, they were supposed to be there but weren't.

Ain't it the truth! LOL. I bet he still has nightmares over the "SoreLoserman" posters and the "Get out of Cheney's house" freeping. I still get a chuckle out of that.

thanks! And thanks to dutchess for her help.

I betcha Ohio has a bunch of cool ones up along Lake Erie!

Martini_Ferrari's Most Excellent and Profound Theories as to Why Conservatives Love Lighthouses:

• Their tradition and historical value (Conservatives love tradition and history)
• Each lighthouse has its own distinct look/sense of place, while being identical in their common purpose of saving ships from the shallows
• Lighthouses are testaments that people can triumph over dangerous forces of Nature. They resolutely stand watch on a perimeter against chaos (Conservatives dig that stuff).

Discuss amongst yourselves. There will be a quiz. <|:)~

ROFL.. From the looks of things it will be a one-sided discussion....I've been ditched! :-)

[The Thin Man]

Thin Man...This was simply another case of the VFHMTTMFI conspiracy... (vast finest hostesses make the thin man feel important conspiracy)

Dansy and Billie had it all planned! And YOU FELL FOR IT :o)

Planned it......Ha! These two characters wouldn't even be capable of planning the meeting needed to concoct this plan. :-)  

Please don't tell them what I said. I'll deny it.

Well thank you, and yes we did we had a great dinner..

What a bummer. I'll have to check and see who dropped the ball. Thanks for checking. I WANT TO HEAR about the conference too. Freepmail me when you get a chance!

Now now...I can't be disloyal to my sistahs...no matter how much I LIKE AND ADMIRE you!

I just thought you might be gullible enough to buy it. Can't blame me for trying. :-)

Hi martin...thanks for the links. Actually we're going to be in the Loraine/Sadusky area for four days next week. I think we're going to be visiting some lighthouses!
