The Season for Organization

Posted in Homemaking

It seems that a new year lends itself to reorganizing the house.  We’re already putting away Christmas decorations, and we’re on a bit of a break from the normal day-to-day routine.  It’s the perfect time to dive into getting things more organized.  After all, we do need to find new homes for the goodies that we received as gifts, and we need to say goodbye to some items that are no longer needed. Today, I spent some time organizing our storage closet.  The Christmas bins received new labels and many things were pulled out of the closet.  I set those…

A Legacy Walk through Marine Corps History

Posted in Military Life, and Reviews

A Legacy Walk through Marine Corps History The Timeline Exhibit of the National Museum of the Marine Corps We were fortunate to be part of the opening ceremonies for the Marine Corps Museum.  We were stationed near Quantico, Va, so we were able to watch as the museum was constructed.  On opening day, people were bused in because the crowds were so great.  Marines young and old, activity duty, reservists, and retirees showed up for this momentous occasion.  Finally, the Marine Corps had a place to where people could come together and remember the long, illustrious history of the Marine…

Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball Donita K.

Cora is still trying to figure out the whole Christian walk.  Cora knows…

Review: Exploring the World of Physics

Posted in Reviews

Exploring the World of Physics From Simple Machine to Nuclear Energy John Hudson Tiner Physics can be an extremely complicated and difficult subject.  How do I know?  Because I had a love/hate relationship with physics in high school.  While I did well in physics in high school, there were concepts that were not clearly explained or taught which made the subject matter difficult to truly grasp.  This meant that I needed to work very hard to try to work through the concepts being taught in order to do well in the class.  If I had a book like Exploring The…

First Exploration of 2011

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

Our time in the desert camping over New Years was a bit chilly, but it was extremely relaxing and enjoyable.  Due to being plagued with migraines and headaches the last month or so, I’ve needed more rest than normal.  Not only was I able to get some much needed rest, but D was able to get an excellent break from the day-to-day grind at work.  We had simple meals and used mainly disposable plates. Munchkin brought some of her Schliech animals with her and created elaborate stories with them.  She had dinosaurs crossing the desert as well as stories of…
