    1. I believe in a balanced budget and therefore will vote for a freeze in government spending until that goal is realized.

    2. I believe government should not increase the financial burden on its citizenry during difficult economic times therefore I will oppose all tax increases until our economy has rebounded.

    3. I believe more than 4 decades of U. S. dependance on foreign oil is a travesty therefore I will support an energy plan that calls for immediately increasing usage of all domestic resources including nuclear energy, natural gas, and coal as necessary.

    4. I believe in the sovereignty and security of our country and therefore will support measures to close our borders except for designated immigration points so we will know who is entering and why and I will vehemently oppose any measure giving another country, the United Nations, or any other entity, power over the U. S. citizens.

    5. I believe the United States of America is the greatest country on earth and therefore will not apoligize for policies or actions which have served to free more and feed more people around the world than any other nation on the planet.

    Hi Roses!

     

    Happy Fourth to all!

     

    Diana, I'm so glad you're put back together. Boy, the no computer thing is a pain in the back of the lap! That Steve is one smart dude!

     

    Mint that is terrible news.  So sad for your family. I'm sorry.  Was this unexpected?

     

    Jane, hope you get some sunshine.  I hope you can take advantage of a not so busy 4th and have a kick back weekend.  Give that knee a rest!

     

    Beautiful day here.  Lots of sunshine probably going to be about ninety.  Laura, ask Brian if the Guard is doing flyovers. There have been alot of jets flying over today.  Very pretty but noisy. I love them and the jet trails.  Maybe it's a Fourth thing?

     

    Not much planned....hot dogs for dinner and potatoe salad.  Does it get more applie pie than that? No one is coming over....just us which is really different. We usually have a crowd but a couple of couples are traveling and I thought I'd take it easy this year. Kind of nice!

     

    Does that mean you're leaving tonight, Jeanne?  I didn't realize it was so soon.  Save travels and God bless you!

     i posted this earlier in the other room. i just can't open a room yet.

    Diana, good to have you back. You're always missed.

     

    Happy Independence Day as Bill would say.

    He is still holding his own; maybe even a little better.

    Mary Beth and Dave ARRIVED FROM WASHINGTON STATE LAST EVENING.............oops still can't type one-handed. When Bill saw Mary instead of wondering why she was there, he just said to her, I hope you brought scissors ..............that's to cut him loose. he's restrained and keeps begging me for a knife or scissors.

    Happy Independence Day to the Rosies!

    It is warm again here today.  I have been so lazy!  Don't want to do anything, but of course I have to accomplish something sometime or another.  We spent the whole day at MIL's yesterday.  It was a nice visit.  DH mowed and trimmed her yard (and it's BIG) and we watched a guy rake the hayfield.  The balers are supposed to be there today.  They need to get it done by tomorrow as rain is forecasted for Monday.

    Hugs to all.  Have a great 4th!~~~Laura

    Some days, I can literally see the testosterone floating in the air around here.

    It has been 100-105 the past few days.  Sticking close to the fans.  Not much going on here.  There has been music in the park and I have been listening to some of that.  I will grill some pork steak for dinner.  I find that steak gets too tough or I cannot get it done well enough for me. And I hate rare, bloody steak.   am watching some action movies on the Sleuth channel. 

     

    Hope everyone gets to watch fireworks.  Be safe as it is very dry and we do not need wild fires.  There are quite a few around the Redding area.

    Checking in with my Buds before hitting the hay. Rained here all day too Jane. A slow light rain all day. I'm sure the farmers were pleased... Steve & I went to 2 new to us restaurants today (breakfast & dinner) and were very pleased with both! Then we checked out a couple of car lots (they were closed today witch was fine, we just wanted to look. Then we went to the casino. Hadn't been to a casino since last winter when we went to Vegas from LA... Had fun but lost ~

    Maizey, I am so sorry to hear about your Bill! I hope he & you both recover soon! My goodness!!

    Jeanne & MaryAnn, that is way too hot!! Have a safe trip Jeanne! I take it your trip south is coming up soon...

    Roma, hope you enjoyed your quiet day today. Quiet is just what the Dr. orders at times :) Yep, that Steve has been able to fix our puter every time it goes haywire, thus far... :)

    Laura, I'm sure MIL was so thankful to have Brian mow & trim the lawn for her... And of course also happy for your company... The little things mean so much!

    Alex is working now 2 or 3 days a week (part time) at a restaurant. She is getting good experience and is liking it and of course liking a few bucks in her pocket... We are also getting her signed up for the fall session at our community college. We are happy she is on the right track!! Now to keep her there... Gianna is just thriving. Smiling (almost laughing at times) and cooing ~ Such a fun stage!

    Yesterday Steve & I took Jordyn back to her parents (she was here with us from Wed. to Friday afternoon.) So this way Steve got to meet his newest DGD too! Kendall is so tiny compared to Gianna right now! LOL! Kendall is like 6 lbs 3 oz and is now 20" long. But boy oh boy what skinny arms & legs she has. Too cute tho and is also doing very well... Wow 3 DGD's for us!! We really are so blessed!!
