Thank you Admins and DU!
"The Audacity of Hope" was on my Christmas list this past year. My sister was going to get it for me, but she wasn't able to fly with a suitcase overloaded with presents.

I was so surprised! I guess Christmas came a little late, but it was worth the wait!

As I wrote to Skinner a short while ago, this really is the best website around. I don't tell the Admins often enough.

For those of you who don't know, I came to DU as a lonely mother to a two y/o while my husband was in Army National Guard basic training. Five years (this coming weekend, how's that for a present, eh?) and one deployment to Iraq later, and I can safely say I am not the same person I was. DU can take a lot of credit for that - in a GOOD way! I became a volunteer for Obama and even went to a rally in Indianapolis. I would have never had the courage to do those things without the support of DU. Major hugs to you all! :hug:

Thanks again!

:hi:

Gift! My advice? Read it gently, and then put it away for about 40 years. :fistbump:

9. Even better!
There's got to be a website. My dh collects coins, and he knows all the angles there. There has to be similar parameters to preserve something precious like that.
