"Uh, Daddy, watch where you're casting that thing. I'm the President of the United States, you know."

LOL! I think 41 might have gotten one of those "looks" Ms. B got for almost hooking the President! :-)

***Loved the picture of Mom and Dad proudly looking at Dubya!***

Ahhh, that pic was SO great. Imagine them coming out of church to see their son giving a press conference, and then just strolling on past with a small smile. THEY MUST BE SOOOOO PROUD.

rintense, the pictures are immensely touching today. Thank you.

[Mo1]

And I remember thinking: Those tears have meaning, those tears are about something, and I wonder if he knows exactly what. Because sometimes people have presentiments they don't even understand until later." WOW!!!!

I don't know if he knows exactly what .. but Peggy is right .. those tears did have meaning

The big different between Clinton and Bush I notice back then

Clinton always tried TO cry .. where as Bush always try not to .. That spoke volumes to me

Thanks for the review Deb, sounds like another good book by Peggy

[Mo1]

I see you survived your day with your inlaws. ;-)

Yep, and I was a good girl too .. I keep my mouth shut .. LOL

[Mo1]

It was very cool at the coast today, I am still trying to warm up from it!

You are a Trooper .. Thanks!!

I can't wait to see the pictures

[Mo1]

Started off with a phone call from my grandsons, simulatniously screaming into the phone "HAPPY FADDERS DAY POP POP!"

I love it .. that is so cute

Happy Fadders Day Mike

[MJY1288]

[azGOPgal]

Psalm 1

¹ Blessed is the man
        Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
           Nor stands in the path of sinners,
           Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
        ²But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
           And in His law he meditates day and night.
        ³He shall be like a tree
           Planted by the rivers of water,
           That brings forth its fruit in its season,
           Whose leaf also shall not wither;
        And whatever he does shall prosper.

        ⁴The ungodly are not so,
        But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
        ⁵Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
        Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

        ⁶For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
        But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

I want to share a friday the 13th story with you....

Friday afternoon I was able to leave work early and head home, As I was heading home there was severe thunder storm warnings for my area along with flood warnings....

As I got of Rt. 270 West and proceeded north on Rt.27 (2 lane Rd.) I saw that there was a major backup, so I decided to take a backroad that would avoid the backup. What I didn't realise, is that there was a major storm that had already passed through the area and all the little streams have over flowed their banks. I first encountered a stream that had over flowed it's banks and was raging past the little cross over and I went ahead and crossed it in my 2002 Monte Carlo, I proceeded ahead, only to find that the next stream crossing was so over flowed that 4 cars had stalled trying to cross the raging streams and I had no choice but to turn around and go back.

As I got back to the first major crossing of flooded streams I had second thoughts of trying to cross the rapidly running flood waters, But I did it anyway (BAD MOVE)

As I got half way across the 18 to 14 inch flood waters, my car stalled and right in the middle of the flood waters, the flood waters got sucked into the intake of my airflow for the engine and the engine locked up due to hydrolocking (cylinders filling up with water). I opened up the drivers door only to see that me, and my car, was about to be swept down the creek. I quickly put into nuetral and started to push the car out of the deepest waters. Fortunately a a guy in a pick-up stopped and helped me by using a pull strap he had to pull me ouit of the raging flood waters.

After I myself and my car was pulled to safety I thanks the guy driving the truck and told him that I would be OK and that I would let the engine dry out, after several attempts I could see that I was not going to be able to get the car started and my battery was checking out. 2 hours went by and after several attempts to use my "On Star" emergency satellite phone I realised I was starnded.

Fortunately for me, a group of young kids who lived on a farm near by came to me rescue and drove their farm truck throuigh the raging flood waters to give me a jumpstart. (I made them take $40.00 for their help) and I was able to get my car started and make it home.

Unfortunately my car will need a new starter and possibly a new engine, The starter is trashed and the engine has been damaged by the water that got into the air intake and then into the combustion chambers. I think the head gaskets are blown and possibly a bent connecting rod or two. I got home just in time for three frinds of mins to pay me a visit, The beers and stories were flowing friday night I tell ya :-)

Friday the 13th was not a good day for me.

Kayak, My brothr is home and the prayers were answered. I can't thank you enough for adding my brother to your prayer list. We had a cookout yesterday which he attended and he said thanks for the prayers. I too , want to thank you for adding my brother to your prayer list.

God Bless You!

Mike

[Mo1]

Oh Wow Mike, that stinks about your car .. I remember you mentioning how much you liked that car .. It's almost like Mr. Mo1's, but with more toys on it

But thank goodness you are ok .. over flowing creeks are not something to taken lightly.

There is a creek near me, that tends to over flow when there has been lots of rain .. cars always try to drive threw the water to get to the bridge .. one year, A man on his way home tried and failed .. the water was just to strong, he tried to get out but the car flipped over and took him and the car .. A friend of mine had helped find the man .. it was all very very sad.

So a long story short .. Please everyone .. don't ever take a chance with over flowing creeks and rivers .. it's better to be home late, then not at all

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Sorry I didn't answer right away, hangin' with Mr.B for a bit..

Both times Mr.B was In New Hampshire..

He shook hands with W, and said "Godspeed."

W stopped in his tracks, said "Thank you," and signed a campaign poster for Mr.B.

Second time was a reception, only about 100 people there..
For his "No child left behind" program.

Here's the kicker..

He got invited to W's inauguration..and went!

Stood out in the rain, in a sea of hundreds of thousands,
and loved it.

He got to see the Clintons leave!

(The above was Mr.B's comment!)

Ms.B

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I don't know what the reason is either..

as said, before the checkpoint, you can hang out there all day if you like..

I didn't push the issue for sure..

Perhaps they see it as someone taking aim with a weapon?

Ms.B

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Sorry to hear about your car...
