"Hello, FRiends!
This is just to let all of you know that tomorrow morning, at 0600 sharp,
the doctors will work their magic and Mrs. Cut will give birth to our child, Mini Cut!"

Sending prayers for all 3 of you and the medical staff.
WOO HOO!

"Thought you might like to see this one. These guys are true heroes in ANY one's book.
The soldiers are from Hawk Troop 1st Calvary. They are the brigade's recon troop. Enjoy"

Thank You Brother for taking time from your duties in Iraq to post your "on the scene" reports.

[Soaring Feather]

Thank You Kathy, glad you enjoy it.

Thanks, aomagrat, for today's history of the CSS Manassas. She is indeed weird. She looks like a whale.

In honor of today's pancake waffle topic, I'll have to say: Berry, berry nice!

Yow!

I was in this situation once in Yellowstone Park, WY. It was the mid-1980s. My dad and I were fishing catch-and-release along the Yellowstone River. A black bear crossed the river and passed within about 50 yards of us. I just stood there dumbfounded as the bear trotted past. He didn't care a thing about my dad and I, he was just going somewhere at a medium trot.

Evening!

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!
