politics

Uncle Fred shared this on Facebook, and I think it brought up some good points. Please note, this is NOT to say I support Mitt Romney or that he hasn't done anything wrong or stupid.

Add Libya to the list.
Question....will you delete this?

WHEN - he finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist State, people woke up--- but it was too late. Add these up one by one and you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that Barrack Hussein Obama is determined to turn America into a Marxist-Socialist society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this do an Internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph.

Will it read as above or will it be a happier ending for most of America?

Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. We all need to pull together or watch the demise of a free democratic society. Pray for Americans to seek the truth and take action for it will keep us FREE. Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, North Korea or Iran. Our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington, DC . The government will not help, so we need to do it ourselves.

Question....will you delete this, or pass it on to others who don't know about Obama's actions and plans for the USA , so that they may know how to vote in November, 2012 and the ensuing years?

It's your decision. I believe it does matter. How about you?

WHEN - November

Daniel rolled over today, from his back (which he generally enjoys) to his front (which he generally hates). He did it 4 times, each time faster than the last.  He had rolled from front to back a while ago (at less than 1 month) but hasn't done so recently.

We have a rabbit again. Mr B came back to the country today to live in Serenity's newly remodeled pen.

Ah, another thing we did last week was go walking in Lost Valley. Well, some of us did. Some of us stayed in the parking lot so we could run to the toilet every 5 minutes. ahem. All of us enjoyed the Fall colors and the resident Elk of Boxley Valley.

Bob is having a great time with his ColorMunki that he had to buy for his photography class. Every time he restarts his computer he has to re-register it (just about); it turned his whites to grey; and to calibrate the printer and paper it took an hour, used massive amounts of ink and paper, and the results were less pleasing than what Bob achieved by downloading a ready-made profile for some other paper/printer combination. But the instructor insists that it's better than relying on one's eyes. It just IS.

forgetfulness

I remember that I was really wanting to blog the last week or two.  I just can't remember about what.


...

There was a trip to Oklahoma for my niece's birthday. I was in charge of the trip down; we left at 8am and didn't stop. I drove, and after we got to I-540 south of Fayetteville we stayed on Interstates. Drive time was just under 3 1/2 hours. We had a nice visit with my parents, brother and family, and sister and family. Little brother didn't make it up from Texas.
On the way home Bob was in charge. We left about 11, stopped at a garage sale and ate in Seminole. Took I-40 to just past the Arkansas line, then turned up the AR 59 to AR 220, to I-540. Funny thing is, Arkansas state highway 220 wound its way for a few miles and then turned into an increasingly narrow, steep, windy, and bumpy DIRT ROAD. Yep. There was the occasional highway marker, so we knew we were still on track, but it was kinda iffy anyway. We crossed a picturesque creek (I stopped and Bob pictured it), and eventually found ourselves in Devil's Den State Park. It was raining at that time, though, so we didn't stop there. Did a little shopping and ate in town. Made it home about 8pm.

...

ummm

...

We've had a tummy bug.

and...

I really can't think of anything else. William is 5 now, and Daniel is almost 3 months. Elijah is almost 3 years, and has really become independent as well as quite the talker. Life just doesn't stop.
