Arrrrrrrgggggg!!!!

We are down to the wire with not many days left until deployment is over. I thought it would be smooth sailing. (No pun intended.) But, it seems the deployment gremlins have reared their ugly heads once again. Cpl Honda has been spending money while on deployment. I am talking serious money. He also is [...]

Nothing Like Some Email Love!

Depolyment is almost over, but it can not come soon enough for Cpl Honda. I could tell by his emails that he is homesick and just wants it over. So what’s a good Marine mommie to do. Get him some email love of course! I emailed about sixteen people and asked them to email him [...]

I Voted. Did You?

I saw a tweet this morning from @OurMilitaryKids regarding a contest put on by Pepsi. The company has a program called Pepsi Refresh where they hold contests to find businesses, companies and non-profits that have positive impacts in the community. Our Military Kids is a charity that helps the children of fallen, wounded and deployed [...]

Sunday Brunch – Twin Weekend

We got to spend some time with our twin grandsons this weekend! So did Grandma M and Grandpa DingDon. Hippie Guy and Flower Child moved into our old house, along with Fuzzy and Wuzzy, our twin grandsons. The boys are moving around everywhere now. They are very vocal and love interacting with us. They are [...]

Another Static Filled Phone Call

Cpl Honda called me this morning. I had just got out of my car and was walking into work when I heard my cellphone vibrate. Now when I get an email it will vibrate twice. So when I heard it vibrate a third time I know I was getting a phone call. Then I saw [...]

It is time to start thinking about vacation getaways. I only visited Missouri once when Cinderella graduation basic training and it was in January so of [...]

Military Monday – Pets for Patriots

I am always looking for great military stories and I love animals so I am happy to talk about Pets for Patriots. This organization helps active duty military, veterans and their family adopt pets. It is known that pets do help with physical feelings of well being. They also can help with depression. I know [...]

Sunday Brunch – Friends

So, you know that my son, Cpl Honda will be home from deployment soon. I was faced with having to drive to homecoming by myself. Of course, I would not miss that for anything, but it is about a seven hour drive through some very desolate areas and, yes I am a big girl, but [...]

Captain Brian Chontosh – Someone You Should Know

I was listening to a radio show today and the host read a letter from a former Marine friend of hers. It is a letter that I believe is currently circulating on email and blogs. After hearing the story I easily google Brian Chontosh’s name and found it on a Blackfive. I am reposting it [...]

WASP Women Receive the Congressional Medal of Honor

I was pleased to see this story last night on the news. WASP, Women Airforce Service Pilots, served during World War II from 1942 to 1944. They flew non-combat mission so male pilots could fly active duty missions. These women were not considered military personal so they never received recognition for their service during World [...]
