May Days

The days have been passing quickly as we have made our move to Tennessee from North Carolina many moons ago. Our home there is still for sale, so we wait patiently in our family's lake home, where we have established ourselves. We voted this month here in the primary just to show we voted. Franklin County is chock full of Democrats, a hold-out since there are no talk radio stations you can effectively listen to here that would harken the happenings in the country and world to this big, country county. I wish that would change.

Most of the people here are conservative and good folks, so they just continue in a vein of what their ancestors did. It is hard for me to imagine that someone would remain a Democrat if they are conservative. The Democrat Party is so liberal, so socialist, so regime-minded, that the middle-Tennessee lives that were lost in wars whose souls are in heaven have to be looking down on this patch of earth wondering what in the world their prodigy is thinking and doing. They fought for a land that was free, not this land of the taxed and only pittances coming back. The leadership the USA is seeing is so beyond the thinking of an average person... in that, it is beyond reasonable, it is beyond common sense, it is beyond any semblances of rightness. My mantra for most of this year is taken from Sarah Palin's comment on seeing Russia from her front door, "I can see NOVEMBER from my house."

Well, the May days are beautiful. The birds are singing, the critters are playing outside, and the berries on the bushes are growing. I hope we can have a sunny spot in the day today or tomorrow to take my sweet, little girl to pick some strawberries for her first time and to enjoy the beauty this part of the earth gives, despite, of course, the ugliness of these times. We celebrate life with our precious gift of a daughter every day, and that is the greatest gift from God we could have.
