Words of Wisdom
Today I was reminded of some wise words of one of our beloved ex- Presidents:
* You cannot help the poor, by destroying the rich.
* You cannot strengthen the weak, by weakening the strong.
* You cannot bring about prosperity, by discouraging thrift.
* You cannot lift the wage earner up, by pulling the wage payer down.
* You cannot further the brotherhood of man, by inciting class hatred.
* You cannot build character and courage, by taking away people's initiative and independence.
* You cannot help people permanently, by doing for them what they could and should, do for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln.

The Governors Mansion, Tea with the First Lady
Today I was invited to a "Tea for the 1006 Summit Avenue Society" for the preservation of the Governor's mansion. It was a lovely reception with a beautiful selection of pastries, fruit, coffee, tea & soft drinks. The First Lady of Minnesota, Mary Pawlenty greeted me as I entered the lovely home of the governor & family. I met up with my dear friend, Mary Wozniak, and sipped tea and chatted with some of our other friends.
They talked about how important the "1006 Society" was, and how the mansion is used to entertain dignitaries world wide; most recently during the Republican National Convention.
