>Marriage Retreat: Take Two
>Around this time last year Tony and I took advantage of a marriage retreat our then-unit’s chaplain was putting on. It was held right there on Okinawa, just about thirty minutes from our house, but for us it could have been anywhere: we hadn’t much left our home since arriving on island twenty-some months earlier. … Continue reading
>The Perfect Spring Day
>We woke up this morning to birds singing and the sun shining in a bright, cloudless blue Colorado sky. So we donned our shorts and short-sleeved shirts, took off our shoes, and headed outside to soak up the 72 degree weather before a cold front rushes back through tomorrow. These pictures were taken not of … Continue reading
>And Then There Was Hope
>Can I tell you something? We finally sold Tony’s new-old car! Yippee! (One down, one to go and the second one will be purchased by our neighbor in coming weeks.) He’d actually contracted the guy he bought it from last fall to sell it for him on eBay back before he left for his business … Continue reading
>Stay Warm, Colorado
>Last Friday, this was the temperature I captured with my phone when out and about: A warm, balmy 66 degrees. The weekend was about 10 degrees cooler. And this morning THIS is what the weather.com application on my phone recorded the temperature as: I’d loved to have gone outside and sat in my car to … Continue reading
>I’m Rubbing Off On Him. Finally.
>I’ve decided to tackle January as my “Month To Get Organized”, which I’ve been writing about on my personal blog for the past week. It seems that my enthusiasm has rubbed off on the rest of my family, because we spent this entire weekend cleaning and organizing areas of the house which I haven’t touched … Continue reading
>2010 Holiday Critter-Bits
>Oh hi! Remember me? I usually post here on a fairly regular basis. I’ve taken a blogging break, in case you couldn’t tell. I’m on vacation, you know. Wait – a vacation’s where you go somewhere other than your living room, isn’t it? Okay then, I’m on my Christmas break. Semantics… My dad’s here! At … Continue reading
>The First Half of December in Pictures
>I haven’t taken many pictures so far this month. I seem to have misplaced my motivation… perhaps it’s in our hall closet which – despite my best efforts – is getting a bit disorganized. And while I can handle my desk getting cluttered and messy, I can’t stand for any of my five closets to … Continue reading
>Wednesday Tidbits: 3 November
>Tuesday Wednesday Tidbits are the posts where I sum up all the little things that happen in our lives from one week to the next; the little things that aren’t interesting enough for me to write an entire post about (though you all know I can spin a boring tale out of pretty much near … Continue reading

>Tuesday Tidbits are the posts where I sum up all the little things that happen in our lives from one week to the next; the little things that aren’t interesting enough for me to write an entire post about (though you all know I can spin a boring tale out of pretty much near anything), … Continue reading
>Pikes Peak
>We haven’t gotten out much, other than our three trips to the zoo and one to the mall where we met up with friends for an afternoon at the indoor play area. I’ve been so focused on trying to figure out how this homeschooling thing meshes with Bug being in school, and Tony being in … Continue reading
