Beautiful pictoral of the Ball!

[AZamericonnie]

Gabz, How lovely you look!

[Mama_Bear]

Loved it, that was put together so very nice, thank you.

Thank you so much. I am glad you enjoyed it.

[phancypants]

Yes, please do, I will e-mail my pics if you send me your addy.
They are beauties! We were in the front row.

Yep, he talked to me!! I still can't believe it happened!

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, Mama_Bear. Great pictures.

Hi, Texagirl. Thank you. I am happy those of you who weren't able to attend the Ball can at least, through photos, put faces to some of the names that you see on FR each day.

Yes, that chopper crash is such a tradgedy. The families of those brave Marines are in my prayers. My heart just aches for them.

[Gabz]

How did I not see you that night?.........I remember seeing that beautiful child.

My daughter has never had the privilege of meeting Jim, but considers him on a level between Daddy and the President.

[Mama_Bear]

A news story states that 31 Marines have died in Iraq.

Such a tradgedy. How awful for the loved ones of these Marines. It was the first thing I heard on the radio this morning. :-(

[Gabz]

I almost missed you and would have been so upset had I left the Ball without getting to hug you.

Same here!!!!!!!!

There were a couple others that I wanted to meet, and I know they were there but in the crowds I couldn't find them. :-(

Same here again.

I will FReepmail you my email so you can send me the picture of me and JR........because it is FAR better than the one hubby took at the same time.

that is one ugly picture of me........

[Gabz]

You have EVERY right to be on cloud 9.....i know I would be if I was spoken to by the President!!!!!

Also got some great photos (sorry I don't know how to post them!).

Go to my profile page and email them to me, I can post them for you for a couple of days.

GRATE thread Justy and Mama Bear! (I don't have a underline key)

I have a bunch of pictures and movie clips to post when I have time and figure out how to make the movie clips under a billion gigs.

:>)

Here is a picture of the Falcon Of The Year Eagle Award 2004 recipient, NikkiUSA:

This picture is from a capture on the video.

Congratulations Nikki, it was an honor too meet you!

I will be posting the clip of your fantastically inspiring acceptance speech when I have time to figure out how to reduce the size.

[Gabz]

The age wasn't the thing that struck me, it was the height. I wasn't wearing my shoes when that picture was taken. I'm a little bit shy of 5'10".

The real Chuck Norris awarded my brother his first blackbelt. My brother is 6'2" and commented that CN is taller than he is.

[Gabz]

Thank you.

Mama_Bear did a wonderful job with that photo..........I do not photograph well as a general rule.

[Mama_Bear]

that is one ugly picture of me........

LOL! Hey, there have been lots of HUGE ugly photos of me posted all over the place. I swear that is NOT me. I have never seen that person before in my life. LOL.

But, I look at it like this, how I look is not who I am. Besides, I didn't see any drop-dead gorgeous people at the Ball. I did see hundreds of beautiful, glowing people, people radiating a beautiful spirit from within....and that is what matters, right? ;-)

[Gabz]

I did not have the privilege of meeting Nikki.........but I was in the ballroom to hear her speak.

I only hope my little FReeperette-in-training grows up as well as you, Nikki.

[Gabz]

I did see hundreds of beautiful, glowing people, people radiating a beautiful spirit from within....and that is what matters, right? ;-)

well said, my FRiend, well said.

[Mama_Bear]

Hope you are feeling better today, Lori.

Getting the post finished last night made me feel much better, but this morning I realized that I'm still sick. In fact, I am about to take a break from the thread and go lay down for awhile.

Today's thread is a winner

Thank you, Sistah. People seem to be enjoying the photos. It's not my best work. There are things I would have done differently had I had more time and if I had felt better. (Probably not noticable to others, but since you and I are both "detail" people, I'm sure you know what it is I am not happy with. LOL)

[Mama_Bear]

How about a nice margarita to soothe that queasy feeling? :)

It's worth a try. ;-)

Glad you enjoyed the post today, DD. Have a wonderful day, FRiend.

[WVNan]

Awesome job MB, considering your condition when posting. Pray you are feeling better today.

[Mama_Bear]

She's so good at knowing when her photograph is being taken!!

She sure is, and you got some adorable ones of her in her coat and at the tea. Thanks so much for the CD with the photos and videos.......Oops, I said thank you again. LOL

I have two of Marissa that I will post....they are just too precious. What a little ham she is!

I don't know if she was being Lady Marissa or Lady Melissa at this point,
but the scarf wrapped around the hat is just too cute! LOL


Pinging Gama Amy!
How angelic is this???

[Mama_Bear]

I did not have the privilege of meeting Nikki

Nor did I. I didn't get to hear her speak either. :-(

What a lovely photo. Now, THERE is a person who is glowing. :-)
