The Armed Forces of America: Best of the Best
I missed providing an entry for June 22, but I thought this story about veterans of our previous wars was worth printing. To me, it highlights some of the best and worst about America. See what you think. On June 22, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law the G.I. Bill of Rights, one...

Oklahoma City Remembered
Many people here may know that I lived in Oklahoma for 12 years, and that they were not happy years. I didn't like it there, our family did not do well there financially, and we never adjusted to the culture. The day we moved back to Wisconsin, our home state, was a bright and happy one. However, no...

Cupid's Little Darts
We had kind of an odd start to Valentine's Day today. I know it made me smile, and I'm sure it made my husband smile, too. He is retired, and I'm happy to say he makes my lunch for me to take to work every day. This also includes yogurt that is my "breakfast" at work, since I don't take time to eat...

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year . . .

How We Celebrated Our Anniversary
We spent the evening of our 39th wedding anniversary (a Saturday, just like our wedding day, and it snowed during the day, just like our wedding day) at the local Harley Davidson dealer. That's right, we ate, talked, could have danced, drank, and saw "Easy Rider" on a big screen. It was the holiday...

What Fell Last Night?
Today is a bright day for me. The sky is blue, the sun is bright and shining on our 6-8 inches of snow, and today is our 39th wedding anniversary. That is 39 years with the same man. Not a record, I'll admit (my inlaws celebrated their 67th yesterday, and my parents are working on their 64th), but...

I WAAANNTT IT!!
Today's post by qwertyui ( http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/qwertyui/219585 ) ( sorry, this blogger was banished so this link no longer works ) reminds me why I don't enjoy mingling in public with some people with children. I have nothing against children in principle; I had three of them, and...
