[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

We will not tire, we will not falter and we will not fail! [President Bush]

Good Morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!

A couple from the northeastern United States is working with American fertility expert Dr. Panos Zavos to have the world's first cloned baby.

Hundreds of people gathered in New York to discuss plans for what to do with the WTC site. Plans are to be narrowed to three next month, and the final one chosen in December.

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

I'm fine at the moment but I have to to go outside in a bit. Sure glad the car has a/c.

I know folks prolly get tired of hearing me whine about the weather, but it's just been WAY TOO HOT here this summer. I hate it!!

............How are you???

[MozartLover]

Nope, no a/c. I've been downstairs all afternoon; can'at wait to see how it feels UPstairs.:(

But we're supposed to get huge storms tonight and it's supposed to cool down.

Guenie, LOL, I can just picture the scene. LOL

John, looking at the building....across the street must bring back memories. I trained at Kelly, in building 1521, I think it's gone by now. I've wanted to go there and see how it's changed, but haven't yet. Maybe one day when we are in San Antonio. I remember the hot, damp weather. Using a GI blanket to polish the hall floor with 2 or 3 fellow WAFs sitting on the blanket while 1 or 2 others pulled the blanket down the hallway till it shined like our shoes. You have triggered memories.

#83...Remember that snow pic I sent December one year ago, when my young son was in Chicago?

That was taken at Great Lakes Naval Base (where hubby did basic)....

..It was one of their coldest winters on record, and we watched young recruits march in formation through the snow.....

...they had on their peacoats & mufflers but they still looked frozen!!!

[tillacum]

Hi Radix. Thanks for the article. I read a story many, many years ago about a bacteria that ate plastic. It ate everything, furniture, clothes, bedding, anything made of plastic, so this bacteria that eats fuel (oil?), may be the beginning of us losing some of our clothing. lol. We'd better start wearing natural fabrics.

[Guenevere]

Well.........LOL.....yesterday, hubby & I made it through finalizing most of our vacation plans!!.....(& were still speaking to each other at the end of the day :)

We've got cheapie tickets to Boston......then renting a car to drive to Maine.....

...we'll stay in Kennebunkport one night...(hope to get to Walker's Point)...and then on tothe coast of Maine.

We'll stay there....

...then take a ferry to Nova Scotia.

Even as I type, we're waiting confirmation from a gentleman on Prince Edward Island as to whether we can have this cottage on the beach.
(someone else had bid on it the day before, but it wasn't definite)

As we drive through Halifax, I hope to stop at their museum....

...Halifax is where the poor souls from the Titanic were brought.... identified.... and many of them burried there, in 3 different cemetaries.

My s-i-l says I have to visit it for her sake, cause she saw it on National Georgraphic....

...but I read all about it too, so want to see it.

[tillacum]

Sounds like you had a wonderful time with your buddy. Did you imbibe in any Boodles? Mexican food...when it's good it's very good.

[tillacum]

Oh, those poor guys. When in the military......one does what one has to do. I remember marching in the "Battle of the Flowers?" in San Antonio. All of us WAFs wore high-heeled shoes and we marched behind the horses.....not a pleasant march. Those horses made large meadow muffins. Luckily I missed them.

[tillacum]

Well Dog.....Guenie and I are here....we may be invisible though.

Lucky you.......a vacation of 2 weeks, I have to wait till the dog days of August in Texas....hopefully the weather in Colorado will be cool. My patio is HOT and HUMID.

[tillacum]

Your trip sounds wonderful and exciting. I've never been to the east coast of Canada. I'm glad you and King Arthur are still talking......I couldn't stand not talking...I even talk to Beanie when no one else is around.

[MozartLover]

WOW! Two weeks of vacation???? Good for you!

[Radix]

Hey, Small world I was just up in Halifax 2 weeks ago. I was at that cemetary. It is very interesting up there. Make sure that you learn about the Halifax explosion. I learned why the people from Halifax every year send the people of Boston a great Christmas tree. It was foggy there on the day I visited. I tend to not sleep much. At 6:30 a.m. (5:30 Boston time)I walked up the hill to this great fort built by the British called The Citadel. It reminded me of another great fort on a hill that I visited on St. Kitts in the Carribean (Radix gets around). Halifax is great and all of N.S. is too. I had lunch in a town called Shelburne. it was little hole in the wall, awesome fish chowder. Also there is a newly established site, sort of like Plymouth Plantation that is Musee' Historique de les Accadeans. I forget the name of the town, but I learned about the Odyssey of the Accadiens, and how they were the original Cajuns. All sorts of fascinating stuff up there. Also I know a terrific place to stay in Yarmouth. LoL, I can`t recall the name just now, but the food was great, prices unbelievable, and friendly staff. A`s all around.

[MozartLover]

Sounds wonderful, Guennie.

Our big vacation is a 4-day weekend in Minneapolis, visiting my mom. We leave Friday a.m.

For the first time EVER hubby & I will be making the trip alone (other than once or twice when girlchild was going to school there and was in "crisis" mode and we had to go pick her up) so it really will be kind of fun, I think. All the kids are working and don't want to take any time off; got to make those big $$$$, ya know.:) So it'll be just the two of us.:)

[tillacum]

Hello.....hello.....anyone here......Dog? Guenie? MM? anyone? I hear an echo......hellllllooooo.......hellllooo

[Radix]

Marching in high-heeled shoes .... behind horses.... makes about as much sense as climbin' on a pogo stick and charging through a bakery ....

Well ... in all other ways ... I bow to our Armed Forces ....
