A Note From Matthew:
My grandmother feels bad that she has not been able to post recently. She has been a bit under the weather, but we expect her to be up and around in no time. My father showed her the video one of you posted and says she loved it. She asked if I would re-post a link.
After you watch it, post your dreams and share them with Helen. Her dreams came true when all of you told her how much you enjoyed her writing.
I hope you all enjoy this: Susan Boyle – Dreams Do Come True
Werner,
I like the positive blog idea. I am swamped until July so I cannot set one up. Sounds like a good idea with promise. When I really retire I would like to try stuff like that.
I am at the ‘the harder I work, the behinder I get stage of the school year..’ Then I run off to OR and Nevada in June.

Werner you’re right – I did get vgman and uncommonsense all garbled up. Sorry vgman! And my apologies to uncommonsense. And now this tuckered out old dog is heading for some much needed sleep!

James, I admit the repubs I know (and was referring to) REALLLLY lean right, I would guess some of them would be considered extremists. They have some personal blogs that reflect this point of view, and they also gather on a FOXS NEWS blog and discuss their positions. I was mystified when I first heard the talking about Lincoln, and then I did some investigation and sure as shootin it’s true.
Now having said that I am married to a repub, (or thinks he is) and his family are all registered republicans, and their views do not reflect the right right..
But I stand by my statement the RIGHT of the repubs don’t consider Lincoln a “good” president. Do a little word-press search and read some of their blogs you will see what I mean.
If I closed my eyes and listened to Bush he did NOT sound like a democrat. His religious bull shit, his cowboy bravado, torture,war at every cost,mission accomplished, good job Scottie….. Ummmmm Nooooo he did NOT sound like a democat..

Darn, it was a little off but I think you get the picture.My first attempt at stick art!
Werner, I agree it would be great to be able to go to a site and hear positive news instead of negative. That is the reason I don’t watch TV or read the local newspaper. However, I do think that most of the comments on this blog are well thought out, informative and except for a few very positive. Helen has given us a place to express and exchange ideas and the only rules are “back up your statements” and know your subject. I for one have learned a lot from the “Gang”.
Gee, Werner, do I have a slight sarcastic bend? Not really, just a weird sense of humor
Comes with age.
Actually I feel this blog is very postive.
