Well, today I made the trip to the big post office. I took a box of goodies, I know will not come close to any care packages sent by anyone else. I guess I just have no sense of what they need on the front line. I sent Halloween suckers, and funny eggs with jelly beans, I am told these are not suppose to melt. I also sent pens, black, blue and colors. I sent some paper pads. Seems they need and like pens and paper. Then I sent myself, as a little bear with the MOM word, I also sent His DAD, and picked out
a Irish Bear as His Brother and found a Cat to go as the family Pet - Ms Patches, who is under my feet at the computer right now.
Oh yeah! I sent Pez and a letter.
My son is on his way home in about three weeks. God Speed us all Home.

The Road to Bagdad
Well, I have started my painting: The Road to Bagdad. I am taking photos of it as I progress.
It is a large painting. 36"x48". However, I see it as a working prelim painting. I believe the one I will really enjoy will be the
one that is going to be 48"x72" . But first this one. I will have several sketches to show also. I will be taking the WIP (Work in Progress) photos as I proceed.
It has been a tough Summer. But everything must proceed so, Here I go. Much, self realization and evaluation has occurred.
I know who I am now. I know how I am to proceed in life.

Pass This On!
I am printing this from a friend in ebay Group: Military-Mini Original Collectible Art: Yes, I started this group. All are welcome to come and visit or become active in the group. It is fresh and new. I hope to explores Military Art, for the families of servicemen and women and how it affects them. Here is the statement given to me.
Everyone needs to copy, cut, paste, or print this and send it to all the Congressman for Federal, State, City, County, and any other organization you can think of: MSNBC, all news media local, International etc. Let me have your thoughts.

I rec'd this from a friend in Georgia this morning, and felt I could share it with you. If I am out of line, please feel free to delete the thread, ok?
"Love This Comeback
One of my sons serve in the military. He is still stateside, here in California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him, and his troops, everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to serve, and fight, for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them also.
But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha.
He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin, and said proudly," Yes, I always wear it and probably always will."
The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.
A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman:
"Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid." Everyone within hearing distance cheered! "
IF YOU AGREE____ Pass this on to all your proud American friends.
I just did.
