Thanksgiving morning, 2008
I have so much to be thankful for, but I’m especially thankful for good health, a loving husband, a wonderful daughter as well as great family & friends. Everything else is just the icing on the cake.
We woke up to a winter wonderland on Thanksgiving morning. I can only hope we’ll have a repeat for [...]

Favorite Girl has been very curious about all the media hoopla regarding “Black Friday” and, since we’ve never gone shopping on the day after Thanksgiving, we got up at 5:15 am in order to give it a try. My intent was more for people-watching and the experience, rather then actually shopping. I was shocked at the number of [...]

I’m the one who hangs the clothes back in the closets after washing them so I know both Favorite Man (FM) and Favorite Girl (FG) have favorite clothes that get worn over and over again. The other clothes are neglected and collecting dust in the closet, but I can’t get either one of them to purge the [...]

On our way home from Maine, we stopped overnight in Montreal. We came upon this statue which put a smile on our faces and Favorite Girl decided to join in on their chat fest.

Yesterday, we attended the funeral of Private (PVT) Kennie in Maine.
I didn’t know him personally, but FM was asked to say a few words on his behalf and I wanted to come to support FM. The only people I knew at the service were the other soldiers who made the 8.5 hour drive like we did. The [...]

At a Bunco game the other night, someone mentioned the new Bond movie coming out, Quantum of Solace, which led to a lively discussion of which actor playing James Bond is the best. Usually, it turns out to be who ever was 007 in the first Bond movie you saw but, for me, it’s the latest one: Daniel Craig. [...]

There was a horrific accident here on Sunday night ~ a soldier in FM’s unit was struck and killed by a car as he attempted to take a short cut by crossing the Interstate. Yes, not a wise decision but, we’ve all made poor choices at sometime in our lives and some of those choices have [...]
