"Grapples"...more like "CRAPples"

So I went grocery shopping earlier today and while looking through the fruit, I saw something called 'Grapples'. They looked interesting enough, so I bought them to see what they would taste like...

I tried one and yes, it tasted like an apple...BUT, with a grape jolly rancher somehow twisted into it. Strange. VERY strange. I really like apples, and any candy that is grape flavored...but definitely not a grape-flavored apple. It was like biting into a regular Fugi apple and then -BAM- strong artificial grape flavoring. Needless to say I am disappointed that I spent money on them. Maybe since there are three apples (CRAPples) left, I can figure out something to make with them...for some reason i think they would taste good frozen...hmmm...maybe I'll try it.

On a better note, here is a picture of my lovely daughter's smiling "cheesy" face. She's such a nutball...

Oh...and I almost forgot...here is my 2nd photo for my Flickr 52 week photo project! Let me know what you think...I will be uploading week 3 on Monday :)

More than halfway done with this deployment...hubby can't come home soon enough...I miss him...he did get the heart-shaped brownies and cookies that I made him. Said they were really good. I am so happy they didn't spoil en route. :)

how do you show your support?

so ive had this bracelet since my husbands last deployment to afghanistan. they were giving them away at the deployment fair. i wore it for the entire duration of the deployment, that was origionally suppost to last 6 months and then in the end was extended to 9. to my surprise, he ended up getting home on our 1 year wedding anniversary! which was really exciting.
now his 5 year battalion enlistment is up for now, and we are currently stationed in pearl harbor, hawaii for his 3 year shore duty where he is working with public works. i am so proud of my seabee and of everything he has done so far. we have been through 3 deployments and for now we have a small break in the deployment regime. he still works hard as ever and i support him through it ever step of the way. deployment or no deployment- its still the military. he can still be called at any moment for anything...and im still here.
so i ask, no matter what branch of service, no matter which duty station, deployed or at home...how do you show your support?
