Hi LC, how are you and how's MRS. LC? Haven't seen you here in quite awhile (at least as freeper days count).

All good news I hope.

Hi, Snip. Actually, the news from Cut-world has been somewhat mixed of late...while Mrs. Cut and Mini Cut are fine and healthy, unfortunately my mother has been ill of late. She's in her 70's, has diabetes, and is paralyzed as a result of a stroke. NOW, as if that weren't enough, the doc says her kidneys are beginning to fail. She's stubborn, however, and vows to see her grandchild, kidneys or no kidneys!

Also, something...ODD happened today. About 1000 this morning, we heard a loud CRACK outside the house. We found that our house had been paintballed! In broad daylight, in a residential neighborhood, how about that?

No other houses were hit, just ours, and fortunately with soluble paint. The only thing different about ours is the American Flag flying out front. Old Glory was missed by inches, so it apparently was a target.

What times we live in, eh?

BTW, thanks for all the continued pings! I read them all, in the hour or so I have to myself lately, before I hit the rack at night.

My fat cat is telling me it's time for bed; soooooooo:

  Morticha, the Mistress of Mischief!

 

Good night, all!

May God bless all who come to the Canteen.

May God bless & keep safe all our troops & their famlies!

Dear Lord,
There's a young man far from home,
called to serve his nation in time of war;
sent to defend our freedom
on some distant foreign shore.

We pray You keep him safe,
we pray You keep him strong,
we pray You send him safely home ...
for he's been away so long.

There's a young woman far from home,
serving her nation with pride.
Her step is strong, her step is sure,
there is courage in every stride.

We pray You keep her safe,
we pray You keep her strong,
we pray You send her safely home ...
for she's been away too long.

Bless those who await their safe return.
Bless those who mourn the lost.
Bless those who serve this country well,
no matter what the cost.

God, Bless America!
