I remembered one of your favorites several months ago shut down, but then they were back again (Delta something, wasn't it?) - was this one of them again?

Think the DeltaDawn site has gone down for good this time. :(

Hello dutchess. :) I'm just getting settled in today as the last few days have been very busy. It is a blessing that I've found ya'll.

Billie you have done a wonderful job on putting this together. Thanks to all the other great contributors for the moving thoughts and images. Hope I didn't forget anyone up top, I'm still learning names. :)

Lord willing, Jim is half way through surgery as I type this. As long as there are no complications he should be on his way to recovery shortly. Your thoughts and prayers mean so much, thank you!

Hi (((Dutchess))), see we're here at the same time.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow, I'll be posting something special. ;)

Hi Lady and Amy. Good to see you. Hope things are safe in your part of California. Although I often have "not so nice" thoughts of the liberals on the "left coast" I would not wish this devastation on anyone. Maybe this will be a wakeup call for those pandering to the ecko wackos....

[dutchess]

Enjoyed your picture of Toronto. We did the theater thing there several winters ago.... It was amazing how much snow was piled up on the curbs and it was quite cold...but found the city to be absolute charming. Would love to go back!

[dutchess]

High, Bill-e. Nhysss prezentayshun! Ewe dun grayt.

OLL ...out loud laughing!

We are safe here in Central California. Thanks for thinking about us.

The enviromentalists are slowing destroying California. It seems they have no concept of balance. To them, it is okay to destroy a family in order to save one weed or insect. They destroyed the mining industry, then the logging industry now they are working on the farming industry.

Oh...I'm looking forward to see what you have in store for us tomorrow!

[dutchess]

Thank the Lord we have a President willing to fight for our dream of Freedom....willing to stand up and protect our Lady Liberty.

Amen. You say so well what we all here feel....

Until 9/11, I wasn't quite as passionate about flying our flag every day, but that did something to me as it did to countless other Americans. I think that, and having a Commander in Chief that we can respect and who shows how much 'he' loves our country, sincerely and honestly, has probably made a difference in many of our lives.

I think that I might be inclined to stick a small flag in a flower pot outside if I couldn't mount it on the wall! :)

[Billie]

Today's thread was especially beautiful and touching...Billie has great talent and has taught the rest of us "hostesses" and finest regulars so much.

I think we all learn from each other, but that is the greatest of compliments, and thank you ((((((Dutchess))))))

[Billie]

Good afternoon, Billie Red White and Blue...a beautiful thread you stitched together for us today....

Just call me BetsyBlue. :)

Thank you, JohnnyMac, for always giving us something to look forward to in your first post. You spoil us, and we love it! :)

Well, phooey! It seems so hard to find a good site for wave files.

[Aeronaut]

How very cool!

Why thank you ma'am.

Thanks again, Donaeus - really glad you've had more time to spend here today. As you are here longer, and as some of our regulars 'return', you'll pick up on other names that you haven't seen on the threads you've visited. If you ever have time and want to browse some of the older threads, we have a Hall of Fame Update about every 3 months, and one can find every thread we've posted since we began. Our latest one was:

Lord willing, Jim is half way through surgery as I type this. As long as there are no complications he should be on his way to recovery shortly. Your thoughts and prayers mean so much, thank you!

We'll look forward to the good news he's in recovery and everything went well!

You have those tables down! want to teach me and give Billie a break?????

LOL! Like you don't know how!

[Billie]

I've seen it - it's GREAT! And if you'd hurry up and get your Photo thingie, you could be doing what she's doing, too!

I've been waiting to hear from wolfie, knowing he went to see the 'bone' doctor today, and here's the update:

"Well, I got home in one piece. Had three shots in the knee, 5 xrays and had fluid drained. The doctor couldn't believe he extracted a piece of cartilage during the drainage. It was about a half inch long, said he'd never had that happen before. Anyway, I also have several bone spurs and a bit of arthritis. : ( I have to do a lot of leg stretching in the coming weeks. I feel a bit better already, not up to par but better. I'd have written sooner but when I got home I was so tired I headed for my recliner and took a nice snooze. I got home about one o'clock. Having my leg pushed and shoved on was excruciating but.....I only howled once. : )"
