A Bittersweet Day

Posted in Homeschooling, and Military Life

Friday was a bittersweet day for Munchkin filled with both highs and lows…. Friday morning found us heading over to a Bead for Life party that our homeschool group was holding.  Bead for Life is an organization in Uganda that helps primarily impoverished woman to improve their lives.  They use recycled paper to make beautiful handcrafted beads.  These beads are made into necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.  They are also sold in packets, so others can use their handiwork to create their own beautiful bead creations.

Cheribundi

Posted in Reviews

What is Cheribundi?  Cheribundi is a delicious, natural fruit juice made from orchard-fresh tart cherries.  It is not a concentrate.  The cherries are gently processed, so you do not miss out on all of the wonderful nutritional benefits of cherries due to over processing.  One 8 oz bottle contains 2 servings of fruit.  Cheribundi is currently offered in three different varieties: Tru Cherry, Skinny Cherry, and Whey Cherry.

Baseball and Birthday Party

Posted in Family, and Military Life

We woke to a warm, windy day.  The trees were swaying to and fro.  Dust devils swirled around.  The sun’s heat baked the red dirt on the baseball field.  The soft billowy breeze gave some reprieve from the heat of the sun beating down on the players and fans.  Shade was scarce.  Water was dearly needed.  The teams battled back and forth to the very end.  Hands were shaken.  Congrats were given.  More than one person walked away a little pink or red and feeling rather parched. The cool ac welcomed us home.  The icy water refreshed our parched lips. …

Foto Friday Challenge: Architecture

Posted in Family, and Photography

I have to admit that I have nothing new for this week.  I just couldn’t get out and about to snap pictures of some of the interesting buildings and homes around here.  Instead, I offer some pictures from when we were at the Grand Canyon.  All these images were taken at the Desert View Watch Tower. For more Foto Friday Challenge, head over to Renaissance.  You can also see my past Foto Friday Challenges here.
