Those Eyes

Today was our granddaughter's second birthday party. V has spent the last week making Dora the Explorer backpacks and our daughter set up a Dora the Explorer adventure for the kids who were coming to the party. They got to color and cross a lake on logs (after first finding the shapes that matched the shapes that were cut out of the middle of the logs), explore a cave and pin the right colored tail on Swiper. They were awarded prizes at the end of each adventure and a treasure box when they got to the end of the path. I thought Mom was being a bit ambitious with her plans, but the kids had a great time. The parents where involved and the kids figured out the puzzles with only the smallest bit of prompting. It was a very nice little kids party.

I try to keep posted images of the family to a minimum, and I always ask friends before I post their images on this site. Just too much weirdness on the Net to make information about the family readily available here.

But...

Aren't those the most beautiful blue eyes you have ever seen? That's my little Lady Bug with frosting on her face. She shared cake and ice cream with her Papa J.

This is why I carry a firearm and train in it's use. This is why I vote and stay active in politics. And, this is why I have "stuff" put away for a rainy day. I want my children and grandchildren to be safe and secure. I want them to enjoy the freedom and liberties that I have known.

Look into those eyes and tell me that they are not worth protecting. Tell me that they are not worth fighting for with every ounce of your being.

Those eyes trust their Papa J, and Papa J will not let that trust down.
