In my thoughts and prayers is where i will carry you as you get ready for your journey ahead,, smile my friend and be safe,,, Hugs to you,, Blessed Be for angels of light surround you ,,

Thinking of you Brigade....

Good morning everyone,
For awhile now every saturday morning I have sent to the ones on my friends list a wacky weekly email...........well since JSH tells me that I need to be more orginial...and can only copy and paste so many times, I have moved it here so that it may bring laughter, and smiles to more people......so Gary hope you and the guys, and all the ones who read this post get some enjoyment from it.
Its been a pretty quiet here on JSH, no green men exploding all over the place, and very little fruit roll up eating going on....... Now if any of you visited in the coffe house thread, you will see that llama balls are still being thrown, snoogles are being place on doors, and we are still trying to figure out a way to get Tom over for next years meet.......so far we have ruled out pretty much all the events that Wilie E. coyote tried on the roadrunner....... At this point the vote is for fed exing him wrapped up in bubble wrap, still trying to decide what we will place in there with him for the trip
I have had the pleasure of adding more friends to my friends list...and hope to get to know them better, as we all chat. Deep friendships are developing, love is blooming for a lot of my friends here on JSH, and life is good........
So keeping this nice and short, and saying have a great saturday........hope laughter and smiles are brought to you faces today.......

Keeping the home fires burning...
for Gary and his men....
You are near in spirit
& very dear to our hearts....

Thank you for being there for all of us...
For stepping up so willingly to the plate,
when so many others would just pass it by...



Thank you so much for all your love & dedication
...Snuggles...
So nice of you to bring the fun & festivities
from another post , over here to this thread...
You are such a kind and considerate lady...

Holding the torch of righteousness high...





Have a nice weekend Gary You fine man...
love & prayers for you & all of our troops...

I would like to say THANKYOU... and you are appreciated...
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you...

Hi again!

I think it would be nice if we could have a soldier pic one or more of us out and be a pen pal with them. Of course it should be evened out so they all get a pen pal, but then we could chat with them via e-mail or even use snail mail.

(((snuggles))) let me know what you and (((brigade))) think of this idea?

Rapunzel, thank you so much for the kind words. I enjoy writing, and making people smile along with lots of laughter. Posting a little snippet daily is easy to do, and is good for the soul, whether its just to bring cheer to someone, create laughter, or be there leaving someone even an unknown someone know that there is someone out there who cares.


Now its time to make some meatballs, and sauce........have a great day all........

ugh ok all you guys Im sure could use a good laugh.....my son is teaching me how to drive a stick shift........used to drive one all the time 20 years ago.......while we went to the store I was driving, and I said to him what is that sound...........I think I broke his speedometer........now I don't want to drive that truck again.............

Many Thanks

Thanks brigade for all you and the other troops do to keep us free. My brother is in the military as well, and i worry about his safety every minute, but know in my heart he wouldnt have it any other way.
Lot's of love, and our prayers are alway's with you.

A happy late good afternoon, or early evening to you all.........Its wet and dreary, the wind is blowing, and the creek banks are rising........I think that is why were under a flash flood watch............hope you all are doing well.

People You Meet

Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.
God gives every bird its food,
But He does not throw it into its nest.
He who loses money, loses much;
He who loses a friend, loses more;
He who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are acts of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
The tongue weighs practically nothing,
But so few people can hold it.
Friends, you and me....
you brought another friend...
and then there were 3...
we started our group...
Our circle of friends...
and like that circle...
there is no beginning or end..

"We are all molded and remolded by those who have loved us and, though that love may pass, we remain, none the less, their work. No love, no friendship can ever cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark upon it forever."

Francois Mauriac, French novelist (1885-1970)

Forever Young...

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.


{By Mr. Bob Dylan}

I found it at "GOD'S PLACE"

Wal-Mart. Buy anything you need.
From band-aids, beef jerky and DVD's
Batteries, kleenex, and toothpaste, too
CD's, books, a bottle of Yoo-hoo!
All of these - important; indeed.
To you, Soldier, I'd send them all to you.

Down each and every aisle I roam
At 30% off, I better bring something home!
Catchers mitts, clubs and certified bats
"I'd rather be fishin!" - You ever heard of that?
Tackle, rods, a decoy made of foam.
To you, Soldier, I'd send all that.
Day in and day out, you work, for our sakes.
I pray you find rest, a well deserved break.
They say food is fuel for the body.
Granola bars, canned fruit and even coffee.
Baked potatoes and a fire-grilled steak
To you, Soldier, I'd send this from me.

But at the convenience stores and the local grocery
I can't buy the things I carry in the heart of me.
So, I send you my support, my thanks, my prayers
Protection from harm and from all fears.
I pray that God watch over you safely.
Because you defend freedoms we've enjoyed all these years.
Heidi M. Kloss

What a beautiful rainy day today here in PA............hope all you guys are staying safe. Wishes of care being sent to you.
