Our local TEA Party (Taxed Enough Already)

My friends, Beth and Belinda at our local tea party downtown.




With citizens holding signs, going alongside the street, there was a great response from those driving by...lots of honking.




A veteran speaking out




We estimated there were a good 200 strong in attendance. Pretty good turnout considering it was in the middle of a workday (11:30-12:30). The crowd was very calm. We figure that the lone man who spoke out of the crowd and said something about a "black president, blah, blah, blah" was planted. Several people cut him off and stated emphatically that this is NOT about racism. We'll see what the news puts out there for "reporting" the facts.

On our way to visit Mom and Maynard, we made our usual stop at the Stringtown store.


This is the usual traffic on the road.





We stopped in to see Uncle Dar and Aunt Dorothy before going on to Mom's and Maynard's for lunch.





They took us to see the Nature Center at Marr Park outside of town. Notice the beautiful beveled leaded glass above the doors, done by a local artisan.





On the way to the car, Maynard and Mom noticed the craftmanship of someone they both know. Kevin is looking at the names and pictures of local wild flowers.
