DC Pride Parade - PFLAG Baltimore County

I was in Washington DC on June 13th and walked in the Gay Pride Parade with Several different PFLAG (parents, family & friends of lesbians & gays) groups.

In March I was elected President of the newly formed PFLAG Baltimore County. With the help of a dozen or so people our group has created a welcoming place for many parents and friends. We hope to help make the world a more welcoming place for LGBT families and our allies

These are a few pictures from the parade.

Size Queen was shipped off to Manchester, New Hampshire this past weekend. It will be part of a show called Real Men Can Quilt. This is part of the Machine Quilter's Expo as a Special event.

The Liberal Media

Yes I consider this Blog part of the Liberal Medial. And No Mr. Obama is not getting a break today.

Washington DC and Maryland voted for Barack Obama in numbers larger than many other states. And then he calls us "wimps."


He did this even after many of us stood for HOURS on War Memorial Plaza in Baltimore the Saturday before the inauguration and froze our "tookus(s)" off. Literally my feet have never been so cold. Still more of us stood on the Mall in DC on innauguration day and again withstood the 7 degree temperatures.

Well, any way.

When it looks like this outside...
I do not drive. period.

My point is... in Chicago and in many other wintery places it gets cold and it stays cold. Here in Baltimore it snows and then melts to a minor degree and then it refreezes. It does this all winter. If you do not have this experience you will likely criticize those of us who have been here for a long time. We know that people fall and hurt themselves, cars slide, wreck and then insurance rates go up.

If I only had to go down stairs to work or let someone else drive me there I would have been in my office today. But I'm not. I decided to remain safe, at home and work on my quilt.
