"It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag...."
Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC
Thank you to each and every one who has served and who is serving in the military. I appreciate the gifts you give us so much.

Chez Nick's Crackers with Toppings
Yesterday afternoon my 10 year old son asked me if I wanted to see a menu. This means he wants to play restaurant.
The menu is hand drawn with pencil on a folded sheet of printer paper.
On the front in a decorative border it says "Menu."
Inside the menu reads :
Breakfast
crerios: brings down heart burn, made with honey
Lunch
sandwich: choose
crackers with toppings:
Ham, chedder, ollives and Deli crisp
chees sandwich: buns with melted chees
Beverges
Milk
Orange juich
slushie
water
On the opposite side are a hand-drawn tic-tac-to (with a note to remind me that x=kiss and o=hug), and maze and two coupons. One is for 3 cents off. The other, complete with a bar code, is for a free breakfast.
Next to the crackers with toppings listed on the menu is a circle with TOP!! inside. I'm sure that means that it is the chef's recommendation so that is what I ordered. You can see what I got.
Chef Nick is an artist.

Some Things I'm Looking At
Have you seen these wonderful colored pencil sculptures by Jennifer Maestre? She strings them together using a beading technique. It will certainly give you new respect for the humble pencil stub.
I have also been seeing lots of little houses. How cute are these little ornaments by Pimp Stitch? Complete with a tutorial.
Non dairy Diary has a template for a little house appropriate for elves, birds and even teddy bears. If you click on the link you find there you can see what she has done with the templates and download those.
Nichole Heady has a pattern for a birdhouse ornament here.
Last, there is a pattern from Cheeky Magpie for flat houses for all you two-dimensional friends
