About Me

Welcome to our blog! We are working toward retiring to our property in Georgia someday. We had hoped we would already be there, but the state of the economy has postponed our plans temporarily. We will be posting pictures of our family, our pets, and our progress towards moving to Georgia. We invite you to share our adventures and your blog with us. David and Barbara

New Sons of Liberty website and "Brush-fires of the Mind" album live today!

As many of you know, my son-in-law, Jon Schaffer, is the guitarist and creator of the heavy metal band, Iced Earth. Jon is a REAL AMERICAN patriot and conservative thinker who has studied history for years and is very concerned about the direction of our country.

As a result, he has written and recorded a new album and created a new website as discussed below. This is heavy metal music that gets to the heart of our cause. Please take time to go to this new site and download this music, then listen while you read the lyrics that are provided on his new site. Enjoy, and stay strong!

Article from Blabbermouth.net: The web site for ICED EARTH guitarist/mainman Jon Schaffer's new project/solo album called SONS OF LIBERTY has been launched at this location. On the web site, visitors are able to download and listen to the debut LP, "Brush-fires of the Mind", for free. You can now also purchase a high-resolution version of the album for only $7.99 via PayPal.

"My desire is for SONS OF LIBERTY to become part of a much larger movement that is happening around the world," Schaffer said in a statement. "This new website will be a think-tank containing lots of interesting web links, book and movie recommendations, and much more. This will be an ongoing process, so check back often." He added, "This is about the message and not the messenger. This is a project that I encourage you to copy and share with your friends. "I care very much about what is happening in our world. We've been steamrolling down this road for a long time, so I assure you this is not a politically biased message. I'm hoping to set a few brush-fires in the minds of the listeners with this one. So please, check it out, do the research and get involved!

"Looking forward to getting your responses on this new chapter in my life!"

Family Reunion and Prayers Answered

I have just added my family picture that was taken Wednesday night, Dec. 2, 2009, at Carrabbas in Temple Terrace. This has been a dream of mine for years to finally have everyone in the same place at the same time to take this picture. God has truly blessed my life with beautiful and wonderful children, grand-children, and great-grand children. With so many things happening in our country right now and such uncertainty about the future, we are working to ensure that America's liberty and freedom are preserved for our kids. I strongly urge everyone to get involved. Join a 9-12 Group, a Tea Party group, or other like-minded group and do what you can to make sure we get rid of the corruption in Washington and elect honest, conservative leaders that will protect our Constitution and our people. We have so much to be thankful for living in the greatest and most blessed country on the planet. We have a duty to protect what our ancestors fought and died for.
