Those map things are so cool. The guy who does them obviously puts a lot of work into them. Fun to look at.

Congrats! I'm starting a petition to have the Llamas removed, tho. I feel their presence just diminishes the rest of us );p

PS Kathie Lee is still getting creamed, 80-31

Well - The Commissar pointed, I visited and... well, I’ve simply had to add you to my blogroll - even though yours is not quite the kind of blog (news/politics) I normally frequent.

I had to do it for other important reasons...

A prime one... You’re the kind of American mother lefties fear the most (intelligent/well read/homeschooler) - and a kind most left-leaning women aspire to (happy homemaker/deeply in love with family and life, and a wide variety of interests) but just can’t quite make it themselves.

But - the most important - you have set a standard others have, and will attempt to measure up to. They have (it appears) come often - in droves - to learn from a success - yours.

I don’t often comment on most blogs - but, you’ve another reader that will check in from time to time - not as the consummate political junkie. It’ll simply be nice to take a break and visit a healthy American family - with one hell of a homemaker tending it. One thought - it would be nice to see a picture gallery of your hubby and those kids...

RonC- Thank you so very much. Those are such kind and thoughtful words. I do, indeed, feel blessed by a wonderful husband and terrific kids.

Please come often :D

Ron C. brings up a good point:
Why DO I come here? *absurdidly scratching head*
(I know the answer, but I like to question myself every now and then)
The original reason was our wonderful discussion on Our National Heritage, but I got hooked on the personal touch.

So come for the unique political banter, stay for the Rae-Factor!

Ahhh, hey thanks, Jeremy :D

And that was a very good discussion.
