Happy 16th Birthday Ava!!!

[Haole Girl]

Sorry I can't be there for Sixteen Candles for Soldiers, Ava.
But, wanted you to know I was thinking about you...and hope it is a huge success! :loveya: :hi:




Many teenagers turning 16 years old throw big "Sweet 16" parties. MTV has even created a TV program about the phenomenon of lavish parties. I want my 16th birthday to be different and make a difference rather than being just another "Sweet 16" party. That's why I'm throwing "Sixteen Candles for Soldiers." It's an event that is meant to honor and respect our troops by showing our support for them. We plan to demand they get the benefits they deserve and that they be brought home from this war we were lead into by liars. Every day brave Americans are dying as a result of this Administration's actions. It's up to us to demand the truth and accountability. Join me on October 21, 2006 at the State Capitol Steps in Montgomery, Alabama, and we'll show the Bush Administration what real support for our troops looks like.

8. Happy 16th Birthday Ava!! today my nephew turns 10--

you are putting me in an alabama frame of mind~shelby lynne

Heaven knows this ain't no Margaret Mitchell
where the oak trees meet the pines
I know it might sound kinda simple
oh but it's mine oh it's mine

Thought I heard a logman cuttin' timber
down the Mississippi line
I'm up the old Tombigbee river
high as the pines, all the time

Elegamment les batos passant
ben on la flota vec du van
all I'm trying to say is I'm
never far away from
Alabama frame of mind

Jubilation risin' on the bayou
celebration in the wind
Father Pat gives benediction
cross the Coden bridge again

Crickets spreadin' rumors by the shoreline
with the lonesome lady whine
crab trap full of nothin
I'm high as the tide, all the time


wish i could find it on youtube~truly is a lovely song

33. Hi Ava -- I know I missed your birthday, but just got home from

Orlando where I went to our 50th High School Reunion -- what a blast!

Love you and wish you at least fifty years of personal and professional success -- I was just a few weeks past my 16th birthday on June 8, 1956 when I graduated high school.

You'll well on your way to being a wonderful activist woman, just like those of us who came before you. Hope your birthday was grand, simply grand -- GO DEMOCRATS!

In peace,

Radio_Lady

PS. If you want to be a guest on my audio show, perhaps we can arrange it in November or December. Please see my journal page -- the right column explains how to contact me -- or just PM me if you wish.
