First of all, let’s show a recovering Dave this evening, happy after a Panera sandwich and chocolate brownie. My poor guy had to go 36 hours without food. While that stinks for most people, those who know Dave well can imagine how it must have been for him. He’s recovering normally (i.e. very sore for … Read more
Today I got home from my two-week AF Reserve tour. Having to get on a plane and fly to my two-week tour is actually a first for me…unless you count the year I deployed, which I’m not. I’d have had to fly to that one no matter where Dave was stationed 🙂 A tad chilly … Read more
Wanna know a secret? I came in the Air Force about a year before my husband did. Many of you know this, but many of you don’t. Because I had switched to the AF reserves in 2005, the timing for competing for promotions became very different for the two of us. So even though up … Read more
Who knows what that is on his cake??? Hint: it’s supposed to look like that…
Dave enjoys cooking. It’s an occasional indulgence for him — he has a suite of yummy recipes that he likes to call his own. Sadly, he doesn’t cook as much as he says he’d like to, since on on most weekdays he’s coming in from work while I’ve been working on dinner for some time. … Read more

For any no-longer-actively-serving-in-Air-Force-Weather types, the squadron stood up in early 2010 combining personnel from the AF Combat Weather Center at Hurlburt Field with the Weather System Support Cadres from Robins and Tinker AFBs. 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
Imagine my delight when I saw N-Scale Magazine sitting in a magazine rack yesterday at the Strasburg Station train store in Lancaster, PA. And here’s Dave’s super-awesome front cover picture, and inside is his feature article! I wish I could share the whole article here with you, but from our vacation we can’t do it … Read more
Happy Belated Father’s Day to any of my Dad readers! We were happy to get to spend time with Dave’s Dad early in the day at Dave’s family reunion in Pennsylvania, then we drove down to my parents’ house in West Virginia in time for dinner with my Dad. Earlier in the week GeekMom solicited … Read more
My dear husband and me at the 135th anniversary Battle of Antietam Reenactment, September 1997. Can you spot the one anachronism in the photo? We joined about 35,000 fellow reenactors in the largest ever American Civil War reenactment to date. Don’t expect a 150th Anniversary Antietam — no one stepped up to lead the planning … Read more
