The day we had to leave, I stood outside on the porch and cried. <br />On the bright side, my life led me to my wonderful husband and kids. And they love those mountains as much as I do. Maybe someday one of us will go back. :) <br />(Got another round of photos up - NOW I'm going back to work...)Douglas Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184188186638740178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-78214933957912955642006-12-28T12:00:00.000-07:002006-12-28T12:00:00.000-07:00Bec said: That's my old neighborhood, sigh.

It's not that far away...!<br /><br />President Ford had courage, that few politicians share, nowadays. No one ever doubted that he loved our country! <br /><br />Too bad people voted for the Peanut Subsidy receiving politician, cuz they were still mad at Nixon.

That's my old neighborhood, sigh.<br /><br />Jerry Ford was one of those old-fashioned Republicans: honest, plainspoken, humble and kind. He was so easy to make fun of. "You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone" is the song that comes to mind.<br /><br />Okay, your photos inspired me so much that I posted a few on my blog, just for potential comments. A compromise of sorts.

Unheard of, even, in those times. Still pretty rare these days, although not unknown.<br /><br />And I was swearing at the Tee Vee right along with your Dad, too, Laurie. :-)Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-12939417881051288622006-12-27T12:56:00.000-07:002006-12-27T12:56:00.000-07:00Just reading the Times obit... and come across thi...Just reading the Times obit... and come across this tidbit: "Gerald Rudolph Ford was born on July 14, 1913, in Omaha to Leslie Lynch King and Dorothy Ayer King." I'm like... .why is his name Ford? And it isn't until much later in the article that they explain that.... after I already looked it up somewhere else. LOL! Pretty unusual for a woman to leave her husband in 1913 with a newborn baby. <br /><br />What I remember of Gerald Ford was... of course, my dad swearing at the television set ;) <br /><br />Nice pics, as usual.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13453105465334116413noreply@blogger.com
