this little nuclear family really took off. 3 days after Kristin Lea arrived on this earth she and her mother came home from the hospital. what? 3 days??? unheard of in today's healthcare/insurance economy. but...that's the way it was back then.
and on that peaceful sunday morning she arrived for the first time at Myerwood Lane proudly in the possession of her new young (?), mature (?) all grown-up (?) parents in their environmentally sound Volkswagon Rabbit. This actually begs for a picture and I will have to dig into archives to find.
But, the reason today is an "infamous" day in world history is that it was the day of the Iranian takeover of the US Embassy. The beginning of an historic event that took 444 days and the outster of the US President to resolve. It seemed back then that Kristin's impact on the world would certainly be overshadowed by this tragic political drama. An event that I'm sure impacted the first 444 days of KLJF's life on Myerwood. Certainly caused a delay in her walking. That didn't happen until she was 510 days old. Even then she was leaning Republican.
But, luckily the hostages were finally released including the Embassy US Marine Guard that was a younger churchmate of Kristin's dad at the famous Hickory Tree Baptist Church in Balch Springs, By God (sorry Rick for stealing your line), America.
A news story of the day: http://www.allvoices.com/s/event-4551861/aHR0cDovL3d3dy51cGkuY29tL1RvcF9OZXdzL1NwZWNpYWwvMjAwOS8xMS8wNC9BcmNoaXZlcy1BeWF0b2xsYWgtZGVub3VuY2VzLVVTLUVtYmFzc3ktaG9zdGFnZXMtdGFrZW4vVVBJLTI2NDExMjU3MzUxMDc0Lw==
At any rate, the country and this family have moved forward - though apparently not Iran. So, who do you think's done better - Kristin Lea or Iran? I know who I vote for!
