There is something awesome and beautiful about not only the butterfly but the life of the butterfly!!!
I think it is truly awesome how they start out a worm...crawling on the ground beneath everyone! Imagine how many never make it to the cacoon! They go into their cacoon..safe and secluded and only they personally know the process by which they become the beatiful butterfly!!

I believe that in all of us there is a butterfly just waiting to be set free to help us fly! Am I still a worm or a cacoon?? Some days I wonder!

It has been an emotionally strange couple of days!!
Have a great weekend! Kwick

Look very closely at the black patch under the American Flag...
The patch says "Doing the work of" the flags are France, Germany, and Russia.

God Bless our Troops!! They do not forget that IN GOD WE TRUST!!!!


Soldiers are people and they like simple things and to laugh!!





This one brought a tear as a soldier kisses a letter..from home or going home....

Another tear and pride as a soldier holds a child in the midst of all the chaos!!!


Supporting our troops is the right thing to do!! No matter what we feel about the war!!

"I live by this credo: Have a little laugh at life and look
around you for happiness instead of sadness. Laughter had
always brought me out of unhappy situations. Even in your
darkest moment, you usually can find something to laugh about
if you try hard enough."

-- Red Skelton, Comedian Kwick

Ok so I know I have said it before but....

I just have to tell you that I have been truly moved today!!
Last night while in chat an individual that goes by Phoebs came in and through our conversation it was suggested that I check out a blog titled SEEING THE LAND WORTH FIGHTING FOR. It seems that Jared (Artillery Boy) decided after he came back from deployment to see some sites and share them with us! He has some awesome pics and it is really fun reading!! Jared thanks for your service and thanks for sharing your journey here with us!!

I also found an awesome blog that I couldn't even read without getting all teary eyed!! Not becuase it was sad but because it was all about supporting our troops and that is what I do when I am touched!! I was truly touched by this blog

The blog is titled NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS POSSIBLE

This is awesome there are just no words from this mouthy airman's wife to describe how I felt as I was reading it!!!

I just have to say much love and gratitude to both of these fellow streamers!! You both RAWK!!!!

Also just another note...
My dad has been helping me remodel the upstairs since hubby has been deployed and had to leave it unfinished!! He got to a point that he couldn't do the work alone anymore and well I am just not the kind of gal who can be trusted with power tools!! Today I got a call from a Sgt at a base close by!! Not even men that work with hubby as their base it 2 hours away but men who are going to volunteer on their free time to come and help finish my upstairs!!! I feel like I have just been selected by one of those home improvement shows except more honored because these are soldiers who are already sacrificing so much and they are going to take their free time to come and help my family!!! MUCH MUCH LOVE AND GRATITUDE!!!! I feel so blessed today to be living in the good old USA!!! and like I said our Armed Forces ROCK!!!!!!! Have a great evening all!! Many grateful blessings!! Kwick
