Art of the American Soldier

I found an interesting blog today! Thanks to my link to the US Army Facebook page.  I added it to my links of interest! Check it out!

Here's and excerpt of today's blog post:
"More than 15,000 paintings and sketches created by over 1,300 American soldiers in the line of duty have been in curatorial storage in Washington, D.C. for decades, seldom made available for public viewing..."

Dallas Arboretum

I went to the Dallas Arbortetum a couple of weeks ago with Amy and her family!

Patriots Day 2010

be in prayer for those who lost loved ones in the World Trade Center, Shanksville Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon nine years ago.

Thank you to all of the outstanding militaries who have done a spectacularly amazing job in defeating terrorism!!

My creation

I did this in Paintbrush with a 10 year old mouse on the desktop! Haha, I had fun.

Texas Summertime!

Here are some snapshots of the beautiful Texas summertime we've had!

What I've been doing =)

I was at my Grandparents for the past few days! =D It was very nice to be with them and encourage them. Also to watch Glenn Beck with them, hehehe. =D He's great! I love to hear him speak.

On Friday we went to Barns&Noble bookstore for a while and had some nice coffee, laughter, and books to read. They bought me a book too! So sweet of them. It's a Tom Clancy, Splinter Cell book. Those are very interesting to read and I like the character in the story. It's great fun to "hear" his thoughts and perspective on things.

A few minutes ago I was enjoying Christy's guitar, since everyone (except Wesley, who I need to feed in a few minutes) is out at Ikea looking for a toddler bed for Annie.

Josh, Christy, and I have been watching the X-Men series too, for the past week or so. They are lots of fun to watch! X-Men Origins: Wolverine has been my favorite so far. I always enjoy a story focused on one person, and how they became who they are. (Can't ya tell from the movie and book I mentioned? Haha, rhetorical question, that. =P )

So that's what we've been doing lately! =D  OH, we went to the zoo for Annie's birthday also! That was fun for everyone. She enjoyed all of the animals, especially the elephants, monkeys, and otters. =D

Well, ta ta for now! (Or "TTFN", as Tigger would say ;) )

Yumminess! =D

I have discovered a tasty new sparkling juice! It's all fruit and sparkling water, and no sugar added!
