Bless the Man

Gr@ym@n Sends …….

Subject: bless the man, bless the girl

bless the man
who protects this land
though most don’t know what he do
he goes to fight
whether it’s day or night
and his heart is always true
bless the man
who with his two hands
he kills with one, loves with the other
for it takes true strength
to go the length
that most refuse to another
bless the man
who sees so much death
he knows the true meaning of life
it ain’t for the money
it ain’t for the stuff
it’s to come home safely to his wife.

and bless the girl
he’s her only world
she’s always his rock and his stone
only for him she works hard and tries
every night alone she prays and cries
that someday their life is their own

Bush Asked to Leave

Thanks and a Hat Tip to Roz for bringing this story to my attention:

“So, who told the White House?
Bush Asked to Leave Ft. Hood

I sent my cousin in Fayetteville, N.C. (retired from Special Forces) that picture of Geo. W. visiting the wounded at Ft Hood… I got this reply:

What is even better is the fact George W. Bush heard about Fort Hood, got in his car without any escort, apparently they did not have time to react, and drove to Fort Hood. He was stopped at the gate and the guard could not believe who he had just stopped. Bush only asks for directions to the hospital then drove on. The gate guard called that “The president is on Fort Hood and driving to the hospital.” The base went bananas looking for Obama. When they found it was Bush they immediately offered escort and Bush simply told them to shut up and let him visit the wounded and the dependents of the dead. He stayed at Fort Hood for over six hours and was finally asked to leave by a message from the White House. Obama flew in days later and held a “photo” session in a gym and did not even go to the hospital. All this I picked up from two soldiers here who happened to be at Fort Hood when it happened.

This Busy/Obama/Ft.Hood story is something that should be sent to every voter in the US.

Class shows up…
The doctor had his TV on in his office when the news of the military base shootings came on. The husband of one of his employees was stationed there.

He called her into his office and as he told her what had happened, she got a text message from her husband saying, “I am okay.” Her cell phone rang right after she read the message. It was an ER nurse, “I’m the one who just sent you a text, not your husband. I thought it would be comforting but I was mistaken in doing so. I am sorry to tell you this, but your husband has been shot 4 times and he is in surgery.”

The soldier’s wife left Southern Clinic in Dothan and drove all night to Ft. Hood. When she arrived, she found out her husband was out of surgery and would be OK. She rushed to his room and found that he already had visitors there to comfort him. He was just waking up and found his wife and the visitors by his side. The nurse took this picture.

What? No news crews and cameras? This is how people with class respond and pay respect to those in uniform.”

Boston Tea Party II

So yesterday the tide began to turn when Scott Brown won Ted Kennedy’s old Senate seat. He was elected by the TEA Party people … not Republicans. Like me, many are seriously sick and tired of Democrats and Republicans. The TEA Party movement reaches out to Americans no matter what party.

It has just begun.

Liberty Memorial WWI museum

Kinda looks like a rough neighborhood eh? It would be fun to commute to work in one of these!

We had the chance to take a trip back in history to the World War I Museum. It was remodelled years back but this was the first time we had a chance to visit a couple of times. It is a very personalised (with personal stories, and artifacts) journey.

Judging by the large numbers of people visiting and pondering, it is a important and unique collection of history.

There is so much to take in, documentaries, documents, weapons, artifacts and the story of so many who were involved.

I don’t know about Noah, but I would sure like to have one of these in the front yard. I would spend all New Year’s Eve polishing, cleaning and loading it and worrying the neighbors.

Christmas Catchup

Time to put up a couple of review photos. Starting with Christmas.

The refrig is covered with photos. At Christmas Emster and the Doodlebug took a minute to scan the family fotos. We are all there.

Boys, on the other hand will be boys. They prefer playing, remote control cars and so forth.

And yes … it was a White Christmas. I’t still white and cold. Next person who utters the words “Global Warming” around here is gonna get his butt knocked in a snow bank.

Where has everyone gone??

I realize that the CookiecrumbExpress has been fairly dead lately.
Most of the action has shifted to Face Book. Think everyone in the family gets up and reads FaceBook before breakfast, then add content.

I will try to post more frequently here. FaceBook info to anyone of you that I know who wants it.

Flat Noah’s Christmas In New York

And here we have a photo of Gr@ym@n, Dawn, Sophia, and Flat Noah on Christmas leave. It was a chance to visit with Dawn’s folks over the holidays. They had a great time.

Doodlebug the Conqueror

What a grim look of determination. Here we have Doodlebug, Snoopy’s wingman returning from a mission.

And here we have the Red Baron’s plane. They forced him to land and Snoopy immediately took him to the cantina for drink and song.
Doodlebug is too serious for all that.

Announcing Sophia Marie

And here she is in one of her first fashion shoots. Being a guy she kinda looks like a hurricane to me. Coming in May 2010 to Gr@ym@n and Dawn, who are beyond happy.

A Photo for the Album

It speaks for itself!
