Guess who visited us today?


Vice President Dick Cheney visited an old Civil War battlefield near us and wewere able to be there. It was very exciting seeing all of the secret servicemen and the huge motorcade that accompanied him. He gave a short, yet meaningful speech about his great grandfather that fought on this battlefield. I used to work in Washington, DC and am no stranger to motorcades and men in dark sunglasses. The kids were awed by it all and I am thankful they got to experience this. Praise God that the war ended with a United States - I would hate to think what this country would be like had we actually divided.

"Praise God that the war ended with a United States - I would hate to think what this country would be like had we actually divided." Isn't that the truth?

BTW, Sarah Palin is supposed to be in our neck of the woods next month some time. I am hoping to be able to make it out to see her.
