HI Mark, Just stopping by to say hello and check out your pics. June 18, my granddaughter was born. All is well with baby and family. She was 9 pounds, one ounce and 21 inches long with lots of hair. Will post pics soon. Take Care sending hugs your way!!!!!!
Désolée Marc si je ne poste pas plus en français mais soit je le fais en anglais pour tous mes amis, soit en version trilingue :-) OK, dorénavant, ce sera trilingue en incluant le français !!!! Bon week-end à toi Béa
Oui, c'est vrai aussi. Il me reste quelques années donc pour me mettre en bonne condition physique :-) Merci en tout cas de partager ces belles expériences ! Bien cordialement, Béatrice
Merci pour l'invitation ! C'est sûr, je vais revenir voir toutes ces magnifiques photos de périples et découvrir à distance ce que je n'aurai probablement jamais le courage d'entreprendre Liégeoisement, Béatrice
I am doing good. My job is going very well and we are moving into a half a house real soon. Looking forward to getting moved before the holidays. My son and his girl are expecting a baby in June. Can't wait to be a grandma. I really wish it would get cold and stay cold. The swine flu has everyone worried here. I enjoyed looking at your new pics. Wish you were closer, i bet you have many interesting stories to tell. I will talk to you soon.. Take Care...
There is a streak of gold that runs through Texas. With all the foul
human beings that have come from that state or should I say have
gravitated to the state in search of money such as the Bushes, there
are some grand human beings, native sons and daughters. In the
history of the “good” Texas it begins with Sam Houston. When Texas
seceded from the Union with the other Southern states, Sam stuck with
the United States of America and paid the price. He had to leave the
office of Governor. Later in the twentieth century there was Lyndon
Baines Johnson. An ass kicking politician if there ever was one, but a
dear and soulful man. History will remember the good he did. His wife
Lady Byrd Johnson will be remembered too. Ann Richards the governor of
the state will be recalled as a liberal rallying cry before the state
sunk into the political rot in which it still remains.
And music, well I didn’t really appreciate the Texas kind until later
in my life. I can say that I really never liked country western. I
still do not like a lot of it but there is an old gritty genuine strand
that touches me. The four Texans that influenced me so much began with
Willie Nelson, followed by Lyle Lovett, Joe Ely and Robert Earl Keen,
Junior. Their music hits a nerve in my classical music heart that is
haunting and beautiful. (But I am an American after all.)
