TODAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:

Friday, Dec. 27, 1861 PINHEAD POLITICIAN PARDONED New York’s Congressional delegation was restored to its proper size with the return of Rep. Alfred Ely from Richmond, Va. Ely had not been on a diplomatic mission, or even spying, or indeed anything of a remotely useful nature. He had attended the Battle of Bull Run as a civilian observer, a polite way of saying he was one of the mob of morons who brought carriages and picnic baskets to watch the "spectacle of battle" as if it were an entertainment. His curiosity was rewarded by capture by the Rebels and months of imprisonment. Saturday, Dec. 27, 1862 SHERMAN SODDEN ON SWAMP SLOG Gen. William T. Sherman’s forces continued their progress, if such it could be called, towards Vicksburg. Minor battle took place at Snyder’s Mill between the Union men and pickets from the Confederate forces of Gen. John Pemberton defending the city. Pemberton was scurrying to find additional troops to boost his forces. Union troops were finding out that the one factor in the Vicksburg defenses that they could not overcome was geography. Sunday, Dec. 27, 1863 PRESIDENT PONDERS POINT PRISONERS President Abraham Lincoln, in company with Secretary of War Stanton, went for a visit on this day to the prisoner of war camp at Point Lookout, Maryland. Elsewhere, skirmishes took place at Somerville, New Castle, and Mossy Creek, Tenn., possibly in celebration of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston assuming command of the Department of Tennessee. Tuesday, Dec. 27, 1864 FRANKLIN FORCES FACE FUTILITY The Army of Tennessee had once been the premier fighting force of the Confederacy in the West. Unlike the Army of Northern Virginia, whose only real assignment was to protect Richmond, the western army was supposed to defend a line from the Cumberland Gap to the Mississippi River. Cursed with a string of poor commanders to perform this overwhelming task, they had spent their last energies in disastrous battles at Franklin and then Nashville. Today they continued their retreat from the latter, crossing the Tennessee River in the direction of Tupelo, Mississippi. Between casualties and desertions the army had nearly ceased to exist as a fighting force. |
From My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of
NC - 12/26/11 - " 'We Remember' at the ICAS Convention":
This is a
beautiful tribute to the men that flew the air machines of war
during WWII, Korea, Vietnam and later conflicts that the U.S. has
been involved in over the years. The song is a tribute to all those
who have worn the uniform of the United States Air Force, Army,
Coast Guard, Marines, Merchant Marines, and U.S. Navy, and those
that have supported them such as family, friends, employers and
citizens in general. Dwayne O/Brien must have remembered some of the
men in his life who have donned the uniform of one of the service
branches to defend America, for his words and the video representing
those words, recognize the sacrifices of those who have gone before
us in the defense of America, while also paying tribute to those who
supported the gallantry of our warriors.....
I hope you all remember, as do I, the men and women who have served our country over the many years that America has existed. Paul Country music
recording artist Dwayne O'Brien performed his song "We Remember"
live at the ICAS Convention
Remember the cost of our
freedom...?

This video and song puts it in perspective... Merry Christmas and
May Peace be with you all……
Only two defining forces
have ever offered to die for you...
Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul, the other died for your freedom.

12/26/11 - "Testimonial: Pampering #25":
Dear Flylady and team, I am pampering myself by munching on a shortbread biscuit I made yesterday with DD 9 and DS 4. Thanks to you I "had enough time" to make them and I washed and dried the dishes as I was going along. I have just finished my Weekly Home Blessing for the first time using the timer. Guess what? I finished in time and it didn't take two hours as it normally does. You know the saying, "Work expands to fill the time available." Flying in the UK ---------------------------------------------------- Hi FlyLady & FlyCrew, I wanted to tell you that I've combined my December Pampering habit with my Swish & Swipe! To pamper myself, I make sure I use an all-in-one wipe to wash my face every morning - I always forget to wash my face! Not anymore! Then, since soap is soap, I use the back side of that same wipe to get the toothbrushing splatters off of our shiny faucet! Working on two habits for the price of one Thanks FlyLady! ----------------------------------------------------- Kelly here: Our habit this month is pampering. You need to make a little time for yourself each day! I am so proud of you. |
