This morning I ran across a link on twitter to a soldier’s blog that is deploying very soon the Afghanistan. He write a post about his two-year old daughter. The post is very touching and worth the read. After you are done, leave him and his family a comment and thank him for serving our [...]
I was reading an article about Gina, a military working dog. Gina’s job was to sniff out drugs and bombs. She deployed to Southwest Asia for a five month tour, but came back a different dog. She could not tolerate loud noises and would refuse to go into buildings. On her tour, Gina routinely went [...]
Yesterday, Corvette and I honored an American Hero. We stood a flag line for a soldier that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I have done quite a few Patriot Guard missions over the past few years. This was Corvette’s first mission. Corvette does not have much paid time off and the missions usually [...]
I know I have been complaining about our lack of rain lately. I am revoking that as of yesterday. I came home from work and went about writing a couple of blog posts as I was watching Dr. Oz. All of a sudden, I hear these screeching, popping and other indecipherable noises coming from my [...]

Finally, we had rain last night. Not just the dust spitting stuff that only makes it impossible to see out of your car windshield, but the delirious downpour that soaks the ground and gives one’s garden a good drink. It is quite possible that the people dwelling in the desert southwest are the only people [...]
I should have been born into a Mexican family, because I love Mexican food! Lately, I have been craving burritos and tacos. On Friday, I made tacos complete with tomatoes, onions and of course avocados. We have been feasting all weekend. Today, I have beef in the crockpot along with Corvette’s peppers so I can [...]
Because it sure is not here. When we moved to the Desert Southwest, you could count on rain in the afternoon. We used to sit on our front porch and watch the storms roll in. Not today. Corvette and I sit around and if we hear thunder, we get very excited and shout out, “Thunder, [...]
You know, you never know how hard it will be. Our Lolly is 3 years old today. We should have gone to a birthday party this weekend. But instead, I spent the time cleaning my house and trying not to think about what should have been. You would think his Angelversary would have been harder [...]
