Who knew that a broken latch was going to be such a big deal! AH!! I called Eugene this morning and Josh said I could get in at 100. That means leaving here at 1130( there is a TON of road construction going on) so I had to get off work early. We made it with a minute to spare, and were given a lift to Valley River. . Mazda has moved their dealership down the road a ways. . about 1/4 a mile from VRC. GM Ida heard FOUR miles and when Josh asked if we needed a lift, she replied" "Im not walking!!" We didnt know till AFTER we were heading back that she had heard wrong! HA. . .so after having lunch and GM buying Sue and I each a new bra, a trip to Gymboree to get Brooke her gift, we started walking. Our transporter called and picked us up over by Pennys tire center. . so it wasnt much of a walk. But it was all good. My car has to spend the night to get the part in the morning to get better. . .so this is the loaner/rental ( its costing me 30.00 to use it!) Its a Mazda3. . .stick...not too shabby to drive. Josh asked me if I could drive a stick, I wonder what he would have said if I had said no..its the only loaner they had at the time.. . .mmmmm?? He said that they couldnt send us home with the door tied shut in good conscience. . . HAHAHAH, we drove that way all the way from Seattle...BUT its raining now, so Im thankful tha he worked this deal out for us. SOOOOO, tomorrow after work, I have to go back to get my car. Another day, another adventure!

Horseback police officers!! Cool
These seats on the field sold for 250.00 each!! That included a book and lunch, ha!!
For 500.00, you got to meet Glenn before and you got lunch and a book!!
For 25.00, you got a seat!! No lunch, no book!! HAHAHAH
The crowds are coming
with ways to block the sunshine.
Fox News!
Fox News!
Theres GLENN!!! In the pink shirt!!
heart. . it was amazing!!!
Everyone stood the whole time out of respect for him
soldiers stand, and that drew a HUGE ovation!!
Glenn gave one of his usual great talks/speeches/testimonies. . .how ever you look at it.
He shared things about his roots in Washington, about his faith and his convictions.
He talked politics. . surprise there!! He talked about his love of this country and
the Constitution, about the soldiers and what we, as Americans need to do to make this country a better place and to make sure our children have the same dreams to look forward
to as we did.
I Cnat Get My Pics To Download
I have all the rest of the photos from the Seattle trip, the BEST ones are unposted. . except the close up one of Glenn, that ones posted. . ha!! But I have tons more from the day and am miffed that I can get this DUMB thing to work...ahhhhhhhh. So I'll try later and see what happens.
Freedom Foundation Presents" Glenn Takes The Field"
After the program, if you prebought Glenn's new book, "Arguing With Idiots", you got to go on the field and into the tunnel to see Glenn and get it autographed!! This is the view from the line as we waited to go onto the field.
On the fileld. . but not on the grass. . the grounds keeper got a little testy if you did!!
That line across the way, those were the 250.00 folks! They got to go in first. . . whatever!
Everyone there were taking their pics with the Safeco clock in the back, I was by myself, so I took Glenn book there instead!
