I’ve gotten together with some virtual “social media” friends to share our photographs. It will be nice to share our creativity. Bookmark It

Freedom of Religion……
I’ve been kinda grumpy today. I must have a Newt hangover. He came to visit the West Jawja area and I had tired of hearing about it, so I am not going to talk about it. Moving on to other crazy people, there is Congressman Phil Gingrey, Republican from the 11th district of Jawja. Oh, that’s DOCTOR Gingrey, pro life OB-GYN. A friend dropped this letter from Dr. Gingrey into my email box this morning……. Dear Friend: Thank you for [...]
