Huntsville Tea Party Rally 4-15-10





David and I gathered with approximately 2500 other patriots in a parking lot across
the street from the downtown Post Office in our town of Huntsville, Al. They had several good speakers and even singers for the crowd. They also had petitions, signs,
bumper stickers, a raffle, and registration for a number of volunteer organizations.

David and I took our own signs- The first one was a quote from Thomas Jefferson:
"When Injustice becomes Law, Resistance becomes Duty." And the second sign was:
"What about the Constitution do you not understand?" When we left the rally after
about an hour, we gave our signs to others who didn't bring their own signs. They
gave me a "high-five" and thanked us.

Today I had to really search hard to find any reference to the tea parties Nation-
Wide. But I did find them. 202 photos of tea parties around the country, in just
about every State in the Union. Boston had 10,000 gather. Not one word of coverage
from any of the major "news" networks. Imagine that!

Mom & Molly's Great Adventure

Well, Mom & Molly's Great Adventure is now just another page in the story of our lives.
I flew out to Salt Lake to help drive her and her stuff home. Our trip was approximately 2000 miles through Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and finally Alabama.

The Adventure started on Friday afternoon, April 9th. when I touched down in SLC Airport. We spent the rest of the day at Temple Square and the parking garage down-
town by a Mall. We visited the Conference Center (which was my first time) and walked
around what used to be the Hotel Utah. It's been almost 26 years since I've been there.
David and I spent out wedding night there so many years ago.
That evening we drove a couple of hours to Rock Springs, Wyoming and ate pizza in our
hotel room.

The second night we stayed in Percival, Iowa after having no luck in Lincoln and
Omaha, Nebraska. We ate Wendy's salads in our room at 10:30 P.M.

After a 13 hour drive on Sunday we arrived at home around 8:00 P.M.
We're both glad it's over.
