Why I FAILED to post yesterday, and thus FAILED at the NaBloPoMo contest for this year. 1.) I was playing Glitch quite a bit on Sunday. I was trying to earn enough money for a super-big new house and that took about 3 hours of my day. 2.) I was busy with Cub Scouts. Timmy’s … Read more
Jacob received several gift cards for his birthday. Unfortunately, things were so hectic after his birthday, between my two reserve tours and then Dave’s surgery, we sorta forgot about them. With Grammy and Grampy Vollmer visiting, we made a trip to Pensacola today so Jacob could visit Toys R Us and spend his gift card. … Read more
I just got home from the Hurlburt Spouses’ Club Charity Auction. This year was the 25th year of the auction. The auction is the year’s biggest fundraiser for the organization’s scholarship fund. Being that this was my first HSC auction experience, I didn’t really know what to expect. All the ladies said “It’s a really … Read more
Today Dave’s parents came into town. I had to drive out to Panama City Beach to their relatively new airport to pick them up. It was a nice drive, about 90 minutes. Once you get east of the congestion in Destin, the highway really opens up and it’s a very low stress drive the rest … Read more

He’s doing MUCH better now and both his neurosurgeon and primary care doctor (the military doctor who he sees more often) are both impressed with how well he’s doing! We’re thrilled with the upward turn in his recovery compared to last weekend. And Dave’s attitude is so great … Read more

Tonight I decided to start on the roses, since I hadn’t made roses in several years. … Read more
This is from last May. The boys did a 1 mile fun run, even though those running numbers say “5K”. Jacob saw a classmate at this race who was registered to run the 5K itself and he asked, “Mom, why can’t I do that?” Well, no one ever said you couldn’t! Meet my new running … Read more
There are so many skills to be learned when cooking: math, nutrition, chemistry, physics! Dave Update: We had a rough couple of days. Incidentally, we had read another Axia-LIF patient’s online blog/diary/series of forum posts that read rather similarly. At about the one-week point, the patient was feeling better, he thought he could move around … Read more
You know that picture from yesterday where I showed the kids getting interviewed for the Pensacola News Journal? They led off on a small online story today! Here’s the picture below, and here’s the story! Enjoy! And yes, the title really does say “Pensacola parade attracts hundreds.” Hundreds. Small town living we have here. 🙂 … Read more
Happy Veteran’s Day friends! I am just getting this in under the wire for my daily post, trying to keep with my NaBloPoMo challenge! Dave Update: First of all, it got pretty tough for us last night with Dave’s back. He started getting some intense muscle spasms that weren’t resolving with the medications he had … Read more
