Orlando Slantinel.....very descriptive indeed.

The poll is a joke as I've been able to vote in it several times.

Aparently the Dems have been voting 'early & often'....LOL

[La Enchiladita]

Happy Birthday, Katherine Harris!

I look forward to referring to you as "Senator"

[potlatch]

Happy Birthday to Katherine!!

[JulieRNR21]

Hi potlatch.....glad you made it to the Birthday Party!

[potlatch]

Thanks Julie. Will Katherine see these threads about her - are the urls sent to her?? Sorry if it's been said in the threads.

[JulieRNR21]

Thanks DollyCali for creating this fabulous Finest Birthday Tribute for Katherine Harris.

And thanks to all who came to Katherine's Party today!

Here's a picture of Katherine and her Dad who was her staunchest supporter. Sadly he died in January but I know she believes that he is still helping her. And so do I.

Katherine has dedicated her campaign and winning in his memory!

He liked to dress as Uncle Sam and wave her campaign signs on Sarasota Street corners.

As Minute Gal once remarked....George Harris was a Freeper in his heart!

[JulieRNR21]

Yes...when I saw her last week I mentioned that FR was planning a 'surprise' for her....Then she gave me her personal email address so I could sent the thread to her.

And I also sent copies to a 'friend' in her Campaign.

[MEG33]

I love that picture! Goodnight, all.

May God Keep Safe All Who Serve Our Country

I hope I'm not too late for Katherine's party.
I'm ready for a margarita with extra salt.

READ THIS from the Biography for Katherine Harris:

"The first bill Rep. Harris co-sponsored in Congress demonstrated her concern for the men and women who provide and protect our cherished freedoms.

Mindful of representing a district with one of the largest veterans populations, she sought the repeal of a century-old federal law that forces military retirees with service-connected disabilities to forgo a portion of their retirement benefits in order to continue receiving their disability compensation.

Dedicated to serving the veterans in life and death, Rep. Harris’ unwillingness to take “no” for an answer led to the construction of a much-needed new national cemetery in the Sarasota region."

=====================================

What a breath of fresh and invigorating air she is!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Sorry, I'm late - I had a busy day today.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Victoria.

As usual, your graphics are beautiful.

Hope you had a great Wednesday. Mine is about over. :)

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hey, Amy. So good to see ya my friend.

I'm tired, but I finished grading papers and preparing tomorrow's class. I also needed to do a few things as well.

Glad you had a good day. How's Marissa doing?

[potlatch]

That's great Julie!! Thanks for writing.

[JustAmy]

Marissa is doing fine. She went to Monterey to the aquarium on a field trip yesterday. She had been excited just thinking about it for the past few days.

She was suppose to be at school no later than 5:45. You know what that meant, dontcha? Gramma didn't get much sleep Monday night. :) We are both still trying to adjust to the time change. Hubby seems to have had no problem.

We are taking a few days off next week and I have been trying to get several things finished first.

'Bout time for me to say good night. Hope to see you tomorrow night.

Sweet dreams.

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL, well, glad you both are doing well.

Sweet dreams, Amy. Have a great day tomorrow.

See you soon.

[Diver Dave]

Back for a late night birthday greeting along with a "yes" vote in that Sentinal poll.

Keep up the good work you are doing for Katherine, Julie.

Atta - Girl!!!

Realizing that the Lord would be watching over her, the reassured child soon fell into a peaceful sleep.

This child too is learning to be in peace always for this very reason. A gentle and quiet spirit is of great worth in the sight of the Lord (1 Peter 3:4) for good reason: it means that one is resting in His trustworthiness, and that is a form of praise. Amen.

Thank you so much for the devotion, dear Mayor.

[DollyCali]

It only let me vote once. Each time I went there there was NOT the vote.. just the results.

I even tried with IE (I normally use mozilla)..

[DollyCali]

Wonderful Julie.. that Pix of Katherine & her proud dad SHOULD have been in the opening part of thread. I recall the pix & If you had the info sent to me it was my error in missing the fact that it was her father.

Thanks for posting it here. I am sure her heart is heavy missing dad.. I still miss mine dearly he departed in 1990. We were close & I owe my love of the outdoors to him.. we hiked, biked, "watered".. when I was old enough to walk.

It must be difficult to keep the high emotion needed for her work as a congresswoman, run a campaign & have a life.. when that is always in the back of her mind. I hope she has the time to adequately grieve.. as otherwise it will come up when least expected & sometimes in inappropriate time/setting. Such is the human emotion.

Sorry I disappeared last night. My life/days are packed.. and I mean packed. I took a "quickie" nap last night & slept solidly until 6 AM! I did intend to come back to chat & sorry I missed many of you.
