And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My greatest heirloom is a hand me down box of Christmas ornaments from my Christmas obsessed spare little expense grandparents. Hand blown and painted glass ornaments from across Europe and from across early 19th century decades. many with their origin tags of production date or location. My top favorite are from west Germany.
I should've never shown these to my wife, CW, she has about a half-dozen of these or so, and now she wants more.
