Anti-Tax Tea Day Patriots (Updated)

"CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!!?"
(Please scroll to bottom for updated links concerning the rally)

In tradition with our rich heritage of free speech, my husband and I decided to join in one of the 'local' Tea Day protests.


Original Boston Tea Party
"You heap pale red man, kemosloppy"


We estimated there were about 636* folks in attendance at the St. Simon's Island Marina today. Could be more because some were pouring in as we left.

* Source is Scarlett who hosted the event. Thanks Dawn! :o)


Everyone we talked to and met was polite, calm, and respectful. Most of us had never protested anything our entire lives. Says something, doesn't it? No wonder the liberal news media is lieing about all these events. Claiming that the Republicans are behind it, yadda, yadda, yadda. Bunch of hot air. Nope. This is a grass roots effort to stop the Democrat-Republican fascism in our politics.

And only a couple of passersby showed us their I.Q. level with one finger. I think that's pretty good!


Husband made the signs. Yeah, I see the misspelled "Allready" and made him carry it. Ain't I a stinker?

Well, it was such fun.

There were also petitions to sign that are being sent to our politians asking them to respect our wishes for lower taxes and less intrusive government. We are earnestly praying that these events will make a difference and are hoping to avoid another Civil War. I am praying that somehow we can restore our rights and liberties for future generations by going back to the Constitution. Hey, miracles can happen.

Oh, yeah, and we're going to be in the local Brunswick news. I'll post that if I can find a link and/or photos.

***UPDATES***

You can find live footage of the rally at: OurNetNews.Com (Hubby and I are at the 5:46 mark)

We were interviewed by The Brunswick News but they don't seem to have anything on-line ... yet. It should be under 'Local News' if it ever gets posted.

Now We Know The Real Reason Buddy Died

A Prayer And A Family Photo

Billy Graham
Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation:

"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free.

Amen!"

Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'One nation under God.'

Hubby told me that he knows now that it was watching one those old Billy Graham specials on TV that helped lead him to Christ. Mr. Graham has helped many people change their lives.

And a family photo:

This is a recent photo of our little niece, Amberlee. She is growing like a weed.

Happy Easter Y'all!

Wiregrass Musings

The weather and temperatures are so pleasant that we went for our daily two mile stroll this morning. I call it a stroll, because at our age anything over 2 miles per hour is brisk.

Mill Creek Road
Can you believe the locals actually trash this beautiful scene? Yep. So, when I walk, I also carry a garbage bag and the proper tools for picking up trash. It's so pretty here that I want to keep it that way. Just my way of saving the world, one beer can at a time (and these are not mine). [giggle]

Ssssave Our Sssssnakessss
Met with Mr. Greensnake for a moment. He was laying in the road sunning himself. Lazy thing. "Get a job, you bum!" He didn't want to help, so, husband shoo-ed him off the road. At least he wouldn't get run over. We saw a brillant reddish colored young rat snake about 3 feet long yesterday. Hubby helped him off the road too before some local toothless yocal can brag "Yep, I kilt a rattle snake 10 feet long ..."

"See a penny, pick it up.
All the day you'll have good luck."
It's about time I got paid for picking everyone else's trash! :o)

"A penny saved, is a penny taxed."

Who said that?

Anyway, it makes me wonder how many folks will be attending "Tea Party's" this April 15th? There's one in Atlanta, GA, I know that. We will watch Fox News all day and hope that others can make the events across country. Hey, I can't save the world on my own you people! Ya gotta meet me halfway here. [lol]

"I'd rather stay in my shell, thank you."
With all the rain, a box turtle decided to get up and move around. I love meeting up with all these creatures on our walks. Country living is so much fun!

Happy Passover and Happy Easter. Have a great weekend y'all. God bless.

Postcard Friendship Friday (04/10)

Peek-A-Boo
My husband snapped a picture of me after traveling over 2,400 miles in two weeks. [lol]

Nah, it's a postcard photo of a Budda statue with a tree growing around it. He looks sleepy too. Source: Zazzle.Com

Postcard Friendship Friday is hosted by Marie at Voila! Vintage Postcards. Join in the fun! Everyone is welcome.

Texas Rocks!

Gruene, Texas
The above photo was taken in Gruene (pronounced "Greene") a German town near San Antonio.

We are home from the two week Texas Hill Country vacation. We dragged in about 2:00 pm today with our motorcycles in tow. Whew. What a long drive! Especially when towing over 2,000 pounds across uneven pavement for countless miles. The trip was happily uneventful though. So no complaints (at least, no loud complaints ... ha ha).

Anyway, here's a link to all the photos from the trip: MyPhotoAlbum . I may still be labeling some of them, so, if in doubt as to where we were, feel free to ask.

Now we can't wait to go back again!

A Unique Way To Display Your Boots

Ready To Head Home

The bikes and other non-essential items are loaded on the trailer. We're ready to head out in the morning. What a great place this is! The Texas Hill Country is our kinda place. The Hampton Inn has become a second home to us this week. It's been lovely and comfortable.

We did a big loop today. From Kerrville to Camp Verde. Then over to Leakey (pronounced "Lakey"), down through Utopia to Medina, then back to Kerrville. So, I thought I'd share a few photos of our trip today. See y'all in a few days!

FM 337 to Leakey, TX
We where privileged to ride the wonderful Texas roads. Some turns are off camber with steep grades making them a bit dicey, but they're still quite a bit of fun ... as long as there are no slow pokey cruisers in front, slowing the approaches ... jingle, jingle. [giggle] Sorry, personal joke. For those of you who don't ride, our local friend, Pappy, very kindly lead us around the Hill Country one day and he rides a cruiser style motorcycle. He told us later that the bells under his floor boards kept 'jingling' on some of those tight turns which means he was dangerously close to dragging. This is NOT a good thing on a motorcycle.

Anyway, we had such a good time while he was here. Pappy was very missed after leaving. Thanks for showing us Greenhorns around pal!

Camp Verde Creek
There is some breathe taking scenery, especially around the creek beds.

Dam Store
We even stopped at that dam store. [lol]

"Where the deer and the antelope play ..."

Nanny Goats (but not in panties)
Margaret, are you missing any goats? The one up front kept 'talking' to us "baaa, baaa, baaa". Then when we didn't feed her, she started spitting. It was so comical.


Time to replace this user. I'm tired. Goodnight until the next post! God bless.
