First I’ll greet you with this super cool picture: This is why it’s wonderful to own a Toyota Prius! Yesterday and today I drove up to Long Island to pick up our boys from Dave’s parents’ house. Since it was a quick trip and could pack lightly, I was able to take our Prius, and … Read more
This is just a filler post to run a fun little experiment. I am going to compare RSS Graffiti with Networked Blogs and see which syndication posts to my Facebook page faster. I’m leaning towards keeping RSS Graffiti because it didn’t require the widget on my site, nor did it require me to pick 5 … Read more
Who here is a fan of Groupon! Go ahead, raise your hand! Don’t be shy…. I started using Groupon in the Omaha area ($5 Omaha Lancer’s tickets!), but quickly transferred my settings to Pensacola when we got here. I’ll admit that I don’t care about most of the deals that come our way (half price … Read more
First of all, I learned that it’s “heron” and not “huron“. Oops. I was wondering why my Google searches kept directing me to Michigan-related websites… Last night Dave and I went on a good old fashioned DATE! The kids are visiting grandparents in the northeast through next weekend, and even though Dave’s hard at work … Read more
Last Friday was Dave’s change of command. He took command of the 2d Combat Weather Systems Squadron. 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

They swam around, eating fish food and leaving plenty of algae-green-colored droppings. You could see visible changes in their eyes … Read more
Boston Baked Beans with a Southern flair…. I’ve been rather scarce, busy with our visitors this past weekend (that’s for another blog post which is forthcoming) and now that the extended family is now all safe and sound back home, I have some time to play catch-up with the household and some of the administrative … Read more
Photo by Fotomom. While Maryann AKA Fotomom was here visiting last week she took a really sweet picture of Howie in our kitchen. After she got home this week, she took some time to dress up the picture and wrote a lovely blog post about him and how she made the great picture! Photographers have … Read more
This week I put away the “kitchen laptop” once and for all. We got our weather webcam working again with Dave’s old PC laptop that had been sitting in our front office unused since we moved here. With no kitchen laptop to occupy my time reformatting and partitioning, I’ve taken on a new hopeless project. … 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
