A Weekend at the Lake

Heading to Osage Beach, Missouri for the weekend to meet "my friend" Nancy and her husband, John. Looking forward to some beautiful scenery in this lake community. Later!

Speaker of the House

Took my husband out on a political "date" last night. We joined 850 people who support the conservative idealology and had dinner and listened to Newt Gingrich. It was a really good evening (in spite of my trepidation) and Newt was full of ideas and challenges to the conservatives. My favorite was his challenge to become green. Says Republicans are not being responsible and need to change their stand. Overall, the steak and veggies and company were good. The lecture was interesting. I am glad we went.
