Hurlburt Field had their first ever Air Force Birthday Ball last weekend. For those who might not have been aware, the US Air Force celebrated their 65th Birthday on September 18th. They oversold the ball by several hundred tickets. I manage the website and Facebook pages for our base spouses’ club, and I put up … Read more
I’m trying out a new commenting tool on my blog: LiveFyre. I’ve seen it work well on a friend’s blog, so I thought I’d give it a go over here. One of the things it’s supposed to resolve is tying together Facebook and Twitter comments with the blog’s own comments. So they’re all in one … Read more
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. ?”I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.” It came across my @BreakingNews Twitter feed this evening. Before CNN, before FoxNews…Yahoo news had apprently caught it from Yonhap News Agency. I did get a grin out of Korea Central … Read more

Both sets of parents, Dave’s … Read more
Hey — is this lady really juggling for you? In my blog post draft this is animated! Today I’m doing a “reset” of sorts. As great a time as we had at Disneyworld, on our road trip, and hosting our North Carolina friends showing off the sights of the Florida Panhandle, I realized we were “on … Read more
The reason I was inspired to post about that 1957 Air Force wife book last week was because I was thinking about getting some “calling cards” of my own. I’ve done this in the past, it’s great for trading playdate information on the playground. It’s also much classier than scrawling down your information on the … Read more
(Click on the pictures to see closeups of the text in the pictures). Several years ago I received this book from my father-in-law. He got it from a friend who sells antiques. Dad thought I’d be intrigued by it, and gave it to me as a tongue-in-cheek gift. I read the book the same weekend … Read more
This was sent to me by an Air Force wife who’s soon leaving us for (I think) Florida. Or was it New Mexico? **********************************************************************************What is a Military Wife?*By Jane Hubbard Hyde A Military wife can be tough to describe.
