Hi, TK! Morning, TROOPS! God bless all of you who watch, you who stand guard, and you who sacrifice your days to stand between freedom and evil. We salute you from the bottoms of our (sizeable) hearts! Love and hugs to all of you.

Hugs and joy were the order of the day Monday for Sgt. Josh Holden, top right, and other members of the Marine Reserves who returned to Tucson from Iraq. Among those welcoming Holden were Brandy Craig, with the hug, and niece Tiffany Holden, reaching out.

Hundreds cheer homecoming of Marine Reserves

Halfway around the world, through choking dust storms, hellish heat and homesick nights, one thought kept Marine Cpl. Vanessa Matlock going as she served in the war in Iraq.

She dreamed of getting a welcome home kiss from her 3-year-old son. On Monday, she came home to collect it.

"I've got butterflies in my stomach. I've been dreaming about this for months," Matlock, 23, said as she hoisted son Ruben for a smooch as scores of other Tucsonans laughed, cried and hugged their own returning loved ones.

Are you stuck at work? Awww...you are? Bummer! Don't you wish you were on the beach doing absolutely nothing? Me too! I'm at work! All I can do is post this lousy rant before I can come and play!!

Troops, Canteeners, Visitors, Aliens, and Burka Man's "voices"! It's great to have you with us today!

Mocha Frappo anyone?

While I'm slaving away at work, think about things like this:

Do not ruin your day thinking about these below:

The French and slobbering smiley are to be ignored!
And if a strange guy with a Teddy Bear and burka come up and ask you to buy a burka, JUST SAY NO!

Oh! If you see my Ma, tell her I ran off with a sailor! That will brighten her day!

Have a great day everyone! See you later tonight! Don't forget the reason we are free and who provided it.

Ma grounded me for life because she's evil and mean. So? She decided to post this for me because she's so darn controlling. If you don't hear from me in the morning, it's not because I don't want to post to any of you. It's because she's made me go to work and then home again. Such is life for a child that is misunderstood by her Ma. Ugh! She needs reform school!

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Bless This House

Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.

(Click on praying hands above, or on banner at the top to hear the music)

We salute you from the bottoms of our (sizeable) hearts!

Ahhhhhh, great idea! Knowing that our hearts are what's really "sizable," we can quit obsessing about our bottoms. ;)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Aeronaut and Otto, and thank you both for your dedication to the flyover of protection for our troops' Canteen, a place where we offer a "touch of home" for our troops, our veterans, their families, and our allies.

The drops gathered together to cover the ground, but that was all for any moisture. *sigh* We need real rain. Hope you get yours latter this week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Diva, for a wonderful thread about the Navy Seals. Lots of good reading and links for later.
