Help, I’ve fallen into an alternate universe and I can’t get out of it…
I’m not a political activist…but I find myself fighting for my country at the age of fifty-seven. I believe grand babies and helping my children is what I should be doing now. I don’t want to be going to tea parties, rallies and political town meetings. I want the people that we hired to do their jobs and keep this a wonderful although imperfect country. I am lulled into an alternate universe….so now I have to begin campaigning, voicing the views of my family members since they all have to work, I have to protest, I have to go to political rallies, I have to test my endurance for marches on Washington… I have to be grateful to my God and my parents for giving me the courage to face my enemies…those who I lazily voted for and didn’t ask the hard questions of. I have to show my love for the country that so many heroes gave their lives for and fight to get it back. I have to fight for my God…and I can, it won’t be easy and it certainly isn’t what I’d like to be doing right now….but I will, right here on my little corner of the country. A commenter referred to my little town as “Mayberry USA” and I think that is a pretty good description.
Go here for a local news column concerning the event that my photos depict.
I think that I have some great company for my new journey…
Heroes, everyday people, old, young….most of all passionate!!!
Passionate about their God, their morals and their country…
No rich people, no famous people, no celebrities….just honest, moral, hard-working everyday people…..with a passion for life, love and liberty…
Please God, bless us in our pursuits, for among us are true believers.

Mosaic Monday at Little Red House…
Met Monday at Between Naps On The Porch
Our local congressman has refused to hold a town hall meeting and has substituted with a telephone town hall. The following pictures are of a rally trying to get this congressman to hold a real live town hall meeting.
This event was held in a beautiful little park in the downtown area.
The man speaking in this photo is the nineteenth most decorated soldier in the United States…he is a local HERO…
The American Hero is a friend of my personal hero, hubby…I wonder how many years of service to our country is shared by these two guys…hubby spent twenty-five years mostly UNDER the oceans of our world.

This is a beautiful old fountain in this little park…I’ve always loved it.
I’m proud to call these two lovely ladies new friends, they live in a neighboring town that is included in our congressional district.
A local radio personality who says he is proud to be a West Tennessee resident.
Did I mention that it was HOT, HOT, Hot.
The phrase I kept hearing as I was among all of these people was… “I’ve never been to anything like this but everyone sure is nice.”
People liked the free bumper stickers from a local radio station.
I was standing behind these two people and they didn’t even know each other…what a photo opp!
