The Father of our Country: 
LIFE & CAREER 
Born in Westmoreland County, Va., on Feb. 22, 1732, George Washington was the eldest son of Augustine Washington and
his second wife, Mary Ball Washington, who were prosperous Virginia gentry of English descent. George spent his early years
on the family estate on Pope's Creek along the Potomac River. His early education included the study of such subjects as
 
mathematics, surveying, the classics, and "rules of civility." His father died in 1743, and soon thereafter George went to live with
his half brother Lawrence at Mount Vernon, Lawrence's plantation on the Potomac. Lawrence, who became something of a
substitute father for his brother, had married into the Fairfax family, prominent and influential Virginians who helped launch
George's career. An early ambition to go to sea had been effectively discouraged by George's mother; instead, he turned to
surveying, securing (1748) an appointment to survey Lord Fairfax's lands in the Shenandoah Valley. He helped lay out the
Virginia town of Belhaven (now Alexandria) in 1749 and was appointed surveyor for Culpeper County. George accompanied
his brother to Barbados in an effort to cure Lawrence of tuberculosis, but Lawrence died in 1752, soon after the brothers
returned. George ultimately inherited the Mount Vernon estate. MORE....

YES....IT REALLY HAPPENED 
In 1945 a computer at Harvard malfunctioned and Grace Hopper,
who was working on the computer, investigated, found a moth
in one of the circuits and removed it. Ever since, when something
goes wrong with a computer, it is said to have a "bug" in it.

Jingle Bell?

Outdoor Adventure: Osprey Lodge: Alaska 
Experience the thrill....... 
OSPREY LODGE offers an experience of a lifetime. Located
                                          in the Western slopes and foothills of the Alaska Range, its 3,000
                                          foot airstrip makes possible a client's arrival at its doorstep.This
                                          airstrip allows twin-engine turbojet service from Anchorage.
                                          Clients do not fly through mountain passes and weather is usually
                                          not a deterrent in adhering to a schedule.
                                     OSPREY LODGE, family-run and homesteaded in the early 70's, continues to
                                     produce an abundance of game. Its spectacular scenery and seclusion offers the
                                     hunter a unique and memorable hunt. Gary Pogany, pilot-owner-guide, has
                                     guided in the area for over thirty years. His knowledge and experience are
                                     invaluable in assuring the success of the hunter.

The Ski Lodge:Lutsen Mountains - Lutsen, Minnesota 
Altitude Without Attitude!
For over 50 years, Lutsen has had the topography to lay claim to
the largest ski area in the Midwest. And being the premier
destination ski area in the Midwest means constant improvements
and continual transformation. That's what you expect from a leader,
and that's what we deliver. 
It all started with one
great idea... 
Lutsen was founded in the
1880s when C.A.A. Nelson
arrived from Sweden, built a
home, and rented rooms to
other pioneers. A family
innkeeping tradition was
born.......More 
What has changed is that Lutsen
                   stands alone as the best, the biggest,
                   and by far the most exciting skiing
                   anywhere in Mid-America, giving you
                   the experience of a Western ski resort
                   for a mere fraction of the price.
 
US Cavalry....For all your Sporting Need!! 
  
Survival Tip:  It is no shame to be lost. 
Find water.   Your body will suffer first from exposure
                                 and second from lack of water. Your minimum
                                 intake of water should be between three and four
                                 quarts each day.
Until next time: Be Safe ~ Be Happy!!

                                                   dark, milk or white chocolate, then sprinkled with
                                                   almonds, coconut, mini-chocolate chips,
                                                   double-dipped or decorated with two types of

Aunt Sally's Custom Quilts: 
Creating Tomorrow's Heirlooms Today 
I'm so glad you like my site!! The background is one of my
quilts. I was amazed that the designer could do that. Pretty
 
cool, I thought. 
All the quilts pictured are less than $350. The wildlife are the
most expensive because I outline stitch all the wildlife and
other parts of the scene to make it 3-Dimensional. Wildlife
quilts pictured are throw (couch) size, but I have made them in
full and queen for $600. I've recently received orders for Table
Runners and Coasters with the Wildlife, so expect to see them
soon! 
I am also offering 20 % off any IN-stock quilt until Valentines
Day!

NEW YORK...NEWYORK...(to the tune by Frank Sinatra)....we in North America thank you for keeping that white trash there, instead of here!!  New York renamed "The Rotten Apple"-HAHAHAHA!!
The Democrats accused John Ashcroft of bending and torturing the laws of
 
the Country, while at the same time defending  our previous presidents perjuring lies, immoral,
depraved & perverted character, his involvement in fraud and treason. The Democratic
Party has now stooped to nothing more than a Party of LOW LIFE TRASH!  To The Left: Al Gore Bids Farewell to CLINTON! Click picture to enlarge.
 
CLINTON'S LOOT WHITEHOUSE & AIRFORCE ONE:
Heard on Paul Harvey:
The Clinton's looted over approximately $100,000.00 worth of china and antiques
 
donated by private citizens and organizations to the White House! Well, thank the dear
Lord above, that the white trash has finally moved out.....heard Airforce One is also
missing an awful lot of presidential articles and artifacts..."Slick Willy" should
have been called "Sticky Fingers Willy", huh? I guess old crooked habits are
hard to break. Damn, glad he don't work for me....'course then again he never did.
The man's reputation shore does wanna make ya lock yer doors while drivin' thru
Arkansas, don't it?! 
Also the Low LIFE wants us to pay $700,00 + for his office rent quarterly! My God..

NEWS IN REVIEW:
WHITE HOUSE VANDALISM 
HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE - By: Barbara Stanley 
I read today that the White House was trashed by the outgoing clintonistas. Phone lines cut; filing cabinets
 glued shut, computers tampered with, rendering them inoperable; pornographic messages (remember all that
 child and animal porn found in the White House last Autumn? See my article:
 Donkeys, Goats and Dogs – The
 Real Clinton Legacy) put into paper caches, scrawled with indelible ink on walls, left on answering machine
 messages; desks upturned and garbage strewn about—I say make them pay.MORE....

A BAND OF THIEVING OPPORTUNISTS 
THE TWO AMERICAS 
America seems to be more divided today than any time since the Civil War. Traditional America is
 represented mostly by rural and small town areas who are content to follow some of the customary ways,
 maintain the existing social and political structures, and to live and let live. The other America, represented by
 the Democratic elite and the progressive and liberal forces of the new left have no respect for those values as
 expressed by the Founders and which, over the past couple of hundred years, had made America the envy of
 the world. This "New America" wants to relegate all powers to the central state, only feeling fulfilled when
 inserting themselves into other people's lives. To show this stark difference it has been said that you can drive
 across America by various routes and never pass through a single county whose inhabitants had supported Al
 Gore by a plurality of the vote. Please Read On....

Going off birth control: 
As tempting as it is to leap immediately from contraception to
conception, you may want -- or need -- to wait. It depends on the type
of birth control you're using -- some women have been on the Pill for
upwards of 20 years. Experts recommend stopping the Pill for a few
months before trying to conceive to let your cycles get back to
normal. All you need to do for some methods, such as the diaphragm or
condoms, is stop using them. Other methods, such as Depo Provera or
Norplant, take some time to leave a woman's body. To find out how to
boost your chances of becoming pregnant, check out BabyCenter's chart
on birth control methods and reversibility.
 
NOTE: Always Check with and follow the advice of your Physician!
  
Pacifiers are okay at night: 
If you've fed, burped, cuddled, rocked, and otherwise tried to soothe
your baby to sleep and she still seems to be fussing, go ahead and
give her a pacifier. If used intelligently, and not as a substitute
for nurturing, a pacifier is fine to help her settle down. If you're
giving your baby a pacifier at bedtime only, and only for her benefit,
not yours, she shouldn't become too dependent on it. And it shouldn't
affect her dental development, either, unless you allow her to
continue using it well into her childhood. This is because during the
early months and years, when your child is likely to be using a
pacifier, she has only her baby teeth; permanent dentition generally
doesn't appear until around age 6.
 
NOTE! Always check with and follow the advice of your physician!!
