My Profile:
bluetexasvalley
I am a 60-plus widow, retired after almost 40 years in the newspaper business. My love of politics was learned, first, from my father, a small-town Justice of the Peace for 18 years, then, my husband, a national award-winning reporter and White House Press Corps member for the Houston Post. I met and married him when he came to South Texas, having bought several small papers.
Like most Deep South Texas residents, I am a lifelong Democrat, but that is not etched in stone; I am open to other parties' candidates if I deem them better qualified.
15 Minutes of Fame: First woman elected to my city council.
I joined Propeller to learn more -- about everything. My life's motto is: A day without learning something new is a wasted day.

Hobbies / Interests
I am a voracious reader, love gardening and embroidering, and am also a big movie buff, since that was my father's business. Love classical and country music. My first love was James Dean, followed by Elvis Presley. As an adult, my idols have been Barbara Jordan, Ann Richards and Molly Ivins. And, of course, I spend hours and hours on Propeller

I can't agree more about not letting a day slip by without learning something to make yourself better.
Thanks,

Hi bluetexasvalley. great job on spotting that.
I hope you are still learning something every day, it is never-ending, but you must be something of an expert by now. When you were 9, you were 3 times my age. at 12, you were only twice my age I'm getting close to overtaking you now.
Best Wishes. -

Regarding Sarah Palin returning the clothes ($250,000 worth.) She didn't return all the clothes. There's a recent news article.
it doesn't surprise me that she's a theif along with trying to fire someone who mistakenly married her sister.
Anyways, I've seen this type of "half truth" telilng before. It seems predominant in vast lawless places such as Texas and Alaska. Good down home folks who lie like rugs.
Have a nice day. :) -

That is a nice message in your profile bluetexasvalley. Especially in these uncertain economic times, I too am open to any political views/ideas that can better our country. I could only imagine the changes you have witnessed in the newspapers... Have a great day.
