We have truly come a long way, but have still a ways to go. I'm simply amazed at how strong a woman I hope will be our next President is. Wish I'd written this, but glad you actually did it. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-35934684457077414272016-10-12T15:23:06.845-07:002016-10-12T15:23:06.845-07:00Such an orchard is a bit of paradise, SW.Such an orchard is a bit of paradise, SW.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-79474136228158479412016-10-12T15:22:16.140-07:002016-10-12T15:22:16.140-07:00It is a slow process!

I keep watching how everything except the kitchen sink has been thrown at Hillary Clinton the last 25-30 years of her political life. Stuff that men in her position would NEVER have to endure. It infuriates me. Don't get me started....<br /><br />But how wonderful of you to say it as it is here in this post, telling your own personal stories to back it up. I'm proud of you and I hope your husband is, too.

I wasn't happy but I think I accepted the outcome because there was nothing I could do about it! I eventually did get the same position, and did a good job of it too!Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.com
