To me, it highlights some of the best and worst about America. See what you think. On June 22, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law the G.I. Bill of Rights,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Witchflower7371/250457Many people here may know that I lived in Oklahoma for 12 years, and that they were not happy years. I didn't like it there, our family did not do well there financially, and we never adjusted to the culture. The day we moved back to Wisconsin, our home state, was a bright and happy one. However,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Witchflower7371/235182This arrived via email.

I know it made me smile, and I'm sure it made my husband smile, too. He is retired, and I'm happy to say he makes my lunch for me to take to work every day. This also includes yogurt that is my "breakfast" at work, since I don't take time to...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Witchflower7371/227839A woman who works the computer Help Desk where I work is getting married in a few minutes.

Info I have is that they will be married while going down the giant water...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Witchflower7371/226509and it begins the Year of the Rooster. I found a lot of cool sites on the net with ways to observe the new year in honor of others' beliefs. And, I definitely know where I'm going to get my dinner from tomorrow night. It's also Ash Wednesday, kicking off Lent, so some of you may have conflicts...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Witchflower7371/224465We spent the evening of our 39th wedding anniversary (a Saturday, just like our wedding day, and it snowed during the day, just like our wedding day) at the local Harley Davidson dealer. That's right, we ate, talked, could have danced, drank, and saw "Easy Rider" on a big screen. It was the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Witchflower7371/221625Today is a bright day for me. The sky is blue, the sun is bright and shining on our 6-8 inches of snow, and today is our 39th wedding anniversary. That is 39 years with the same man. Not a record, I'll admit (my inlaws celebrated their 67th yesterday, and my parents are working on their 64th),...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Witchflower7371/219624Today's post by qwertyui ( http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/qwertyui/219585 ) ( sorry, this blogger was banished so this link no longer works ) reminds me why I don't enjoy mingling in public with some people with children.
