NBC: Sorry for omitting 'under God'

BETHESDA, Md.
NBC issued an on-air apology Sunday for omitting the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance during its coverage of golf's US Open.
The words were edited out of a clip of children reciting the oath -- a move immediately noted by viewers, who took to Twitter and various blogs to voice their anger, the Huffington Post reported.
In a statement during the broadcast, NBC commentator Dan Hicks said, "We began our coverage of this final round just about three hours ago and when we did it was our intent to begin the coverage of this US Open Championship with a feature that captured the patriotism of our national championship being held in our nation's capital for the third time.
"Regrettably, a portion of the Pledge of Allegiance that was in that feature was edited out. It was not done to upset anyone and we'd like to apologize to those of you who were offended by it."
The words "under God" were not in the original pledge from 1892 and were not added until 1954.
I'm sure NBC was well aware that the pledge did not include the phrase, "under God". They say it was not done to upset anyone...WELL THEN, WHY DID THEY DO IT? Agnostics, atheists, etc. must be happy! What about us? We are not happy and I, for one, intend to watch NBC to see who their sponsors are and take out my anger by refusing to use those products. I'm not doing it to offend anyone...and I do not apologize for my beliefs or opinions. AMEN

What is going on?
Is anyone else having a problem with missing Followers? When I look on my blog home page, the spot where they should be is blank. It's also the same when I'm visiting other blogs...I don't see their Followers either. The only thing there is the header, FOLLOWERS...nothing else.
I posted a comment and have read several other comments about the same problem, but can't see where Blogger is doing anything about it.
I'm not that savvy about looking for solutions, so if anyone has any info or ideas, please let me know.
I know my Following friends are there...I just can't see who you are. : (
It's not affecting my give-away, though, so keep leaving your comments on the previous two posts in order to enter my give-away. You have until June 10th.

Sad loss...
So sad to see so many years of hard work gone in a flash. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sharon in the loss of her shop, Saltbox Farm. http://saltboxfarm.blogspot.com/ We hope the days ahead are filled with strength and courage while facing the decisions she must make.
Blessings, Sharon, from your primitive friends!

Heirloom Fishnet Canopies
I know...I'm hopeless! Each day, I think I'm going to post and have pictures and do all these grand things with my blog... I used to be so organized! I'm just as tired of my excuses as you must be...LOL
I do have something good to blog about, though. Through a series of events, I have had the opportunity to meet Miss Eula Osborne and see her wonderful fishnet bed canopies. I have one from about 30 years ago and love it. For all you Colonial Country decorators out there, you know what I'm talking about. These canopies are handmade to fit your tall pencil post beds and can be made to fit any size.
Miss Eula is such a sweet lady and has been making canopies for over 30 years, here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina...actually just a few miles down the road from us. Who woulda thunk such a talented and sweet person was so close. : ) Anyway, Miss Eula has a lot of spunk and determination, as she deals with diabetes on a daily basis. She's limited in other things she would like to do, but each day, she gathers her supplies of string/twine and weaves the most wonderful fishnet canopies. They're called 'fishnet' because the weaving resembles a fishnet...
Her brother makes the frames for the canopies as well as other items and they have a website... http://www.heirloomcanopies.com/heirloomcanopies.html
You can check the website to see the various designs and sizes Miss Eula makes, and I can tell you that she can make a wonderful, white canopy or my favorite, antique white.
The best part is, if you call Miss Eula directly (not through the website), you just might get a bit better price for a canopy. If you're interested, give her a call at (336) 385-2744.

FOLLOWERS?
After several requests, I finally added FOLLOWERS to my blog. (check the sidebar) Thanks to all of you who visit often and to those who are visiting for the first time. Hopefully, I will do a better job of posting more frequently. Besides, I'm approaching that 'magic' 100th post...someone should surely get a reward for being around for that! LOL We're trying to come up with something really special..perhaps something Giles has created? Or something I've stitched together? Just keep FOLLOWING to find out... : )
