Yes, my Colonel is HOME! Took him 6 days to get to us. He arrived home last Wednesday. My son took the pictures and you can he was only focusing on his dad. But that's okay! I do love this one! One big happy family! When he walked through the security gates, the guards started […]

Happy Anniversary!
23 years ago I made the best decision of my life and married the Colonel. Here we are on our wedding day with my parents. I'm wearing my mother's gown. Our photographer wasn't the greatest. He kept "squishing" my dress and in most of the pictures you can't see how pretty it is. It was […]
Alarm Clock...
About a year ago I stopped using our clock radio as an alarm. It just kept forgetting to go off! Not a good thing when you have to get up at a certain time to get the kids on the bus or for the Colonel to leave for his drive back down to Ft. Dix […]
I'm Here!
This week has been CRAZY. I've hardly had any time to blog, as you all can tell by the lack of posts this week. AND, I've hardly had any time to visit your blogs! That never happens. I always find time to at least read what's going on in your lives through my […]
Let's Go For A Drive.
Here's the lovely view from the window... Not too far of a drop... Look out! Oh my, I see quite a few other people wanted to go for a drive today as well... Can you even imagine driving on this road? I first saw these pictures on […]
Does Your Campground Have a BC?
Something VERY funny. The story is told of a lady who was rather old-fashioned, always quite delicate and elegant, especially in her language. She and her husband were planning a week's vacation in Florida, so she wrote to a particular campground asking for a reservation. She wanted to make sure the […]
Let's Play a Fun Christmas Game!
Fun Christmas Game to Play Let's have some fun and answer silly questions that have to do with Christmas! 1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Well, the Colonel usually wraps the gifts and he does such a great job! I tend to use gift bags. I just don't have the patience. 2. Real tree […]
I Am RELIEVED!
Yes I am relieved to find out that I'm not alone in my obsessive ways! After I posted Monday's post, I actually thought of DELETING it. I thought do I really want people to know these things about me? But life got busy and when I came back to delete the post a few of […]
What I'm Thankful For
A different type of "Thankful List." I am thankful for: The mess to clean up after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends. The taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed, well the Colonel is! My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the […]
I'm Back!
The Colonel and I went on a little trip! Every year the youth group at church go on a retreat. This year BOTH our children went...so we decided to go away as well. We went to Lancaster, PA, just under 2 hours from our home. Lancaster is famous for its large population of […]
Apple Picking
Last Monday, we did something I said I would never do again... Apple Picking. The last time we went was five years ago. It was 90 degrees. The Colonel was working. I had to carry two huge bags of apples. The kids were no help. I had a miserable time. But life goes on […]
Irena Sendler
Recently a 98 year-old lady named Irena died. During WWII, Irena, received permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto. She worked as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an 'ulterior motive.' Being German, she KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews. But Irena had a plan of her own. She smuggled infants […]
It Was Hot
Yes, it was hot! But it was also a beautiful day on the lake. We put up two canopies and brought tables from the church for us to put all the food on. We set up our area on the grass right before the sandy part of the beach. It was beautiful. […]
See How My Garden Grows July 2009
I love my garden. The Colonel and I have worked really hard on it this year. Well, he really has. I've just "directed" him. I've shared pictures of him expanding it before. You can read about them here. I wanted very much to plant lettuce this year. I sent Sue an email asking her […]
Heading Home...
The Colonel was released from the hospital late yesterday afternoon. BUT... He still has to be seen by the doctors at Ft. Dix. AND... They were closed by the time we left the hospital. SO... It was back to the hotel last night. He'll be seen by the Ft. Dix doctors this morning […]
Happy Anniversary
Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary! Twenty two years ago I made the best decision in my life and became, the Colonel's wife. Although he was only a 2nd Lieutenant at the time! This is how we looked 22 years ago, with my parents. This is the only picture I have on my computer of our […]
See How My Garden Grows June 2009
It rained almost every day last week, except for Saturday. I finally was able to get back out into my garden yesterday. It was such a beautiful day, the kind you want to bottle up and keep forever! Here are some pictures of everything in our garden. When we planted two weeks ago, I think […]
A Repeat...
...but so worth it! I posted this last summer and was just watching it again on You Tube and thought it was worth a repeat. I love testimonies and hearing how powerful God's presence can be in people's lives and how much they have changed since coming to know the Lord. When I first saw […]
Tips on Starting my Seeds Indoors
This is what the corner of our bedroom looks like... Basil growing on the windowsill. I have lettuce growing on another windowsill in the hallway! Cucumbers, green beans, sugar snap peas and squash... Pumpkins and tomatoes. I really need to get the pumpkins in the ground, they are so huge! And finally, my marigolds. […]
I'm Alive
Yes, I'm still here! It's been quite a few days since I've posted and life has been pretty busy. I just haven't had time to sit down at my computer to put together a post. To be more honest, my mind has been blank...can't seem to come up with anything to write about! Our weekend […]
Did You Know???
I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Who looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? You know when you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box, then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over […]
Am I The Only One...
...who didn't know anything about the wonderful feature Blogger has called 'Blog Roll?' At least I think that's what you call it!! It's on your dashboard and lists all the blogs you follow and lets you know if they've been updated recently. I just found this tool the other day and what a blessing it […]
Happy Birthday Michael
Michael! Today my son turns 12! What joy he has brought to this family. Here he is opening one of his birthday presents. We celebrated on Monday since the Colonel was home for the long weekend. He loved all his presents, especially his very own cell phone. He didn't know what it was when he […]
A Bouquet of Thorns - Devotional
As promised, I'm going to spend this week sharing the devotional I gave at our Mother/Daughter Tea in 2007. I spent most of Saturday going over it, changing it, fixing it, etc. Here is Day One... Doing a devotional on the Proverbs 31 Woman can be terrifying! Let’s face it, we all have visions of […]
Something to Think About at Christmas
Here's something to think about during the Christmas season. Something to Think About I have no idea where I originally found this poem or who even wrote it. But I still wanted to share it with you today because it is something to think about as we enter the Christmas season. Santa lives at the […]

First and foremost, thank you BETH, BECKY and JEN for becoming followers. I was so happy to see your lovely faces join my other followers. I told the Colonel about my post from yesterday and how no one had commented or joined and he said, in true Army fashion, "Take it down before you really […]

Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing […]
Wordless Wednesday...
We sang this hymn at my father's funeral. We also sang it in church this Sunday, although I could barely sing the words. I closed my eyes and could picture my father singing this song from the pulpit at Bethlehem. So, instead of singing, I just stood in the presence of the Lord knowing how […]
You Are Invited to a Martha Stewart Tea Party
Yes, my mom and I both received invitations to attend a Martha Stewart Tea Party at our local Macy's yesterday. We were so excited. Do you think Martha will be there? No, she wasn't...but someone who works with Martha every day was there and discussed the table settings, etc. We were told to dress in […]
My Garden...
My garden is doing really well, as you can see from the above pictures. I was a little concerned since we got the plants in the ground pretty late this year. We only planted three tomato plants. Usually we do around 6 or 8, but things are doing good, although as you can see from […]

I thought you'd like to see an update on our vegetable garden! Now, remember we got a late start to our planting and were only able to get the plants in the ground around 3 weeks ago. What trouble I had uploading these pictures! I've been trying for 2 days now and every time blogger […]
Vegetable Garden
As promised, here are pictures of our vegetable garden. Last year I grew quite a lot of cucumbers and zucchini, not realizing that they would love to grow up the chicken wire fence enclosing the garden! The weight of the plants really damaged the fence so my husband took it apart last fall when we […]
