Dead: Osama Bin Laden, Time To Stop Iraq-Afghan Wars
From Denny: Justice came swiftly this weekend, dished out from American Special Forces in a deadly fire fight, unleashed by President Obama to kill decades-long terrorist Osama Bin Laden. The mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001 was found living in the lap of luxury in a large mansion in the affluent suburb of Abbottabad, about 30 miles outside of Islamabad, Pakistan. As it was, in the 40 minute fire fight, it was believed he used one of his wives as a human shield as he fired upon the assault team.
Terrorist cult leader turned world pariah
Like the typical cult leader he preached sacrifice and frugal living to his dewy-eyed followers yet enjoyed a lavish life style for himself, his family and closest followers.
Where he was hiding in plain sight
Looks like he was hiding in plain sight with the protection of the Pakistani retired military that he was most likely paying just as lavishly to protect his location. However, finally someone in the Obama administration must have put their foot down and demanded bin Laden's location in exchange for that $40 billion America sent them in foreign aid. Bigger money trumps little money. "Oops, you lose, bin Laden. Time to go straight to hell. See ya."
$40 billion for a terrorist: sounds like Pakistan came out ahead on that trade but at least America finally gets closure on the 9/11 incident. Personally, I would have preferred he was taken alive so we could put him on trial as a cautionary tale for generations to other world terrorists run amok.

Happy May Day
Hi Everyone
~Happy May Day~
{Love}
the May Day tradition of
hanging flowers on the front door for good luck and a Happy Home!!!
I did a little experiment and I am amazed at the results.
Every year I fertilize our roses and keep my fingers crossed for beautiful blooms
♥
This year I found a wonderful new
rose
fertilizer that has worked wonders in our garden
It is called
Jobe"s Knock Out Rose Food
and the best part is it is organic
and only costs 8.99 at Home Depot for a big bag
{warning it smells really awful}
wear gloves and hold your nose

Now to be fair I decided to test this fertilizer
I did not fertilize one of my
rose bushes
just to see if it really works

here is the
rose bush
I did not fertilize

Here is the same rose bush with the fertilizer
Such a dramatic difference
These are
Iceberg Roses
which do not have much fragrance
but they are disease free and easy to grow
Here is a bouquet of flowers I received via email from
a wonderful follower
Thank You Sweet friend
Love the tin can and the little jute ribbon
too cute
♥
I shall pass these on to all of you today
