The Median Sib

Well, to be perfectly honest, this doesn’t really fit my situation.  I’m fairly certain none of my grandparents would have voted Democrat in this election.  They were very down-to-earth, common sense people.  I like the cartoon, though.

On a more serious and chilling note, click here.  Having the Democrats with a majority in the Senate and House saddens me - and frightens me.  I grieve for the world my children and grandchildren are inheriting from us.  The elections and probable withdrawal of our troops from Iraq verifies that America is no longer willing to stick to its word and that we don’t have the perseverance to see a difficult task through.  The terrorist threat is growing, and they have the perseverance to do whatever it takes.  However,when the going gets tough, America bails out.

My younger sister, Debi, is celebrating her birthday today.  Debi is two years younger than I am - which makes her . . .well, I won’t say.

My mother wrote about one of Debi’s early adventures here.  And last year I wrote a birthday tribute to Debi here.

This photo of “Debi in a drawer” is indicative of our lives as children.  Debi looks a little pitiful, but I think that’s the charm of the photo.  There were seven children in our family - living on a preacher’s income.  However, I don’t remember being poor at all.  In fact, I remember a very rich and happy childhood.  We had what we needed, and we had each other.  Happy birthday, Debi!
