An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
Been A Bit Busy!
After 2 absolutely fabulous days, I finally got to sit and down go through my emails. Hint: Do NOT let your emails go for 3 days! Do you know how long it takes to go through over 300 emails? Sad to say, I HAD to delete quite a few cuz there was NO way I’d ever get through them all. Don’t think there was anything extremely important though, so it should be ok……I hope!
I finally got my pictures transferred from my camera to the computer. I’m extremely annoyed that anytime I zoom in, they get REALLY dark. I have no idea how to fix that problem.
Oh well, maybe someday, I’ll get technical, but I wouldn’t count on it.
Anyways…..these pictures are from Friday’s events(18th). If I had been able to see straight last night, I could have managed to take some time to at least get them on the computer. You have NO idea how tired I was….with good reason.
Now, I don’t care what you think about this guy, but I have to tell you, he was one of the nicest guys I’ve met in a long time. He never asked to be shoved into the limelight, but from as best I can tell, he’s handling it quite well. He stood around and talked with us for quite a while.
I don’t know. Is it me, or does Dan and Joe look a bit fuzzy? Granted I’m seeing just about fuzzy right now, but hey….it’s not suppose to translate to the actual picture….is it? 
Obviously, this is Michelle Malkin and Joe, but I have NO idea who’s tongue that is, or why it’s poked out at that odd angle.
A few hours ago, I could have told you her name, but considering it’s way past my bedtime, and the gray cells have already gone to sleep… Someone help me out here! (Ooops…sorry Julia! Thanks to Deirdre for setting me straight!)
Whoo hoo! Lunchtime. Fairly tasty too.
And came our speakers, mistress of ceremonies, who’s name escapes me, Robin Smith, Liz Cheney, Michelle Malkin, and Rep. Marsha Blackburn.
I snuck out before the forum was over to head back to my motel room for some much needed down time, and to change clothes for the cocktail party. No one told me I could have worn jeans.
Oh well.
Folks waiting in line to get their books signed by Michelle.
A very pleasant time was had by all.


Problem is, they didn’t have any munchies! So, instead of using my brain, and coming back to my room to hit the sack, I joined about 20 other ladies for dinner at the Stock-Yard Steakhouse.
I’ll be perfectly honest, this place may be one of the “top ten steakhouses”, but I’ve definitely had better, and CHEAPER! Sheesh! They think VERY highly of their meat!
Today was another great day with even more like minded folks at RootsHQ2009. They had held a rally while we were munching beef with American Liberty Tour. I would have liked to have gone, but we thought it was already over, and besides, sparkly duds and rallies don’t typically go together. I heard there were 3000 folks there.
I gotta tell ya, we had a great time with these guys! But it occurred to me, I only took ONE picture all day!
Nothing like an electronic flying toy to bring joy to the boys. Hmmm…. Might have to find one of these things for the Mr. I’ve no doubt it would drive the kitties crazy. heh
After listening to such great speakers, like Eric Erickson, Ken Marero, Caleb Howe, David Hinz, Corie Whalen, Steven Foley, Eric Odom, William Owens, Jr., and a few others, I am MORE determined now not to let our country go down the drain, which is where the liberals would like to see her….in the sewers.
It was an honor to meet new friends, and see ‘old’ ones. Let’s do this again soon!













You need to get a REAL camera to cover these events… Time to SHOPPING!!!
Great pic of you and Michelle;-)
Yes Dear, I’ve always wanted one of those little helicopters.
C
I have something to make you laugh over at my place…hop on over!
That TFMo is one funny guy!
Kate…ahhh…get him the little helicopter!
And yes, he did pay me to say that…LOL.
You met Joe AND Michelle Malkin?? Man, Im SO jealous! >.<
How about this in 2012:
Ann Coulter for President
Sarah Palin for VP
Michelle Malkin Secretary of State
Laura Ingram – Head of Homeland Defense
If this doesnt show Im not sexist, what will? lol
… And whos the hottie in the orange shirt with Joe?
"Sheesh! They think VERY highly of their meat!" – yeah, but so does Bill Clinton.
@sb Pfft! I’d say the majority of these women are too smart to get sucked into that cesspool. LOL Bill didn’t charge for his though.
Awesome story and shots….very cool ! and thanks for posting it all kate :>)
@CR It was probably one of the most amazing weekends I’ve had in a long time. Although exhausting, I’m gonna do it all over again….next year. heh
