Hi! We are well here – Dave is MUCH improved from his surgery, although yesterday morning we paid a visit to the ER once again for a migrane that crept up on him. We wanted to rule out that it wasn’t related to anything from the surgery. Now he seems much better. He’s definitely ready … Read more
“So, Major Mom, how would you sum up Nebraska so far?” I’ve gotten that question a lot this week. From neighbors and friends who have been calling to check up Dave’s surgery recovery. So here are the pros and cons of Nebraska, and our new lives near an Air Force base. Pros: 1.) Nice People. … Read more
I got some good news today. “FINALLY! You’re going to tell us something good that happened to the Vollmer Family in Nebraska?” Now wait a second — I posted this a couple weekends ago. “Yeah, but then you were hit with that flat tire on the bike ride over to watch the airshow itself.” I … Read more
From 2008 08 23 Bo… Okay, I had been waiting to do this picture for some time — I wanted some nice pics of the boys in front of corn to welcome our fans to our new world. My car accident and Dave’s appendix, plus Jake starting school, kept putting this little mission in the … Read more

Today, after a VERY long bike ride during which I got extremely lost in an effort to help find Dave a safe bike route to work (by the way, it can’t be done without riding all over highway interchanges), I continued the finer points of unpacking our house. First off, the moving company made it … Read more
“So, besides the photo of a fire and an announcement about your weather station being back, you’ve been pretty incognito!” Yeah, I suppose I have. “Are you okay?” Yes, I’m finally coming down from the incredible stress of this move. The car accident on August 2nd didn’t help, either. One might argue that one contributed … Read more
Thankfully I saw replacements for this at Kohl’s this past weekend! (Yes, I have yellow plates. This is Fiestaware, and I have place settings in green, purple, yellow and burgundy.)This is a by-product of the frequent moves. Things can break…and they do. Several of my kitchen tools have broken, and our scanner has a huge … Read more
