In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free,
While God is marching on!

Southward, Ho!

If you've wondered about the inactivity of this blog the past week, it's because I've been getting ready to head South with Melany to visit my parents and sister and her family in Jacksonville, Florida. We're leaving in about an hour and will be there through April 25, so there will be no posts until next weekend, at the earliest. However, I'll return with plenty of pictures to entertain and astonish you!

Considering that all of us getting together down South are opposed to "abortion rights" and illegal immigration, that at least a couple of us are gun owners, and that one of us is a military veteran, the Department of Homeland Security will surely regard this as a convention of right-wing, ne0-Confederate terrorists, and will be monitoring us accordingly. They'll have to detail someone to follow Melany and I up to Savannah, Georgia during the week, where we'll be staying for a couple of days to take in the awesome history and beautiful architecture and culture there. We'll be thinking of you all even as we dodge the spies! God bless, and may we return safely.

Ha, ha, that's so funny! I know, I thought the job of the Department of Homeland Security was supposed to monitor "valid" threats AGAINST U.S. citizens, not perpetrate threats and terror ON those citizens. We're all gonna end up in the slammer...except for Mom and Melany. They'll probably let us sit there for a few days while they head up to Savannah...

Oh, how I wish I could've gone with you! But we are finally getting some warm scrumptious weather in our neck of the woods. Watch out for those spies!(I hear they disguise themselves as plastic pink flamingos in front lawns!) hehehe
