Robert B. Neller 10 November 2015 A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS When the Continental Congress raised up the two battalions of Marines in 1775, it launched the greatest fighting force the world has ever known – a force revered globally for its uncommon valor, unparalleled adaptability, and ferocious tenacity.

Giving Thanks 2015 – Week One

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

It’s become a bit of a tradition to focus on giving thanks during the month of November. Normally, I try to blog my way through the month as it makes me really focus on even the smallest things that often get overlooked when giving thanks. I fully intended on doing the same thing this year, but then I got hit with a migraine. I got ill, very ill, in conjunction with the first migraine. The migraine let up and then I got hit with another one. I couldn’t figure out the trigger. By the time the first week of November…

Our New Licensed Driver

Posted in Family

Munchkin’s road to getting a license has been a long one mainly because she really didn’t have an interest in driving. Since she attends college classes every day and there have been a couple of instances where I couldn’t get over to pick her up right away due to some complications with other events, she slowly began to see the importance of being able to drive.

We have 2 full size trucks – one of which is a lifted, manual…

Modern Homesteading by Wranglerstar

I received a review copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback.

I enjoy the fact that the Wranglerstar family is so genuine about their journey. They share the good, the bad, and the downright ugly that can come with the homesteading lifestyle. They don’t try to be all perfect and polished. They don’t shy away from sharing hardships, poor decisions, or accidents. They are real.…

Reflection: An Unexpected Break

Posted in Christian Life, and Thoughts

I took an unexpected break from blogging and most social media. It started while Munchkin and Daddy were gone and continued after they got back. I just didn’t have anything to write. I was stuck in a rut because my life was (and honestly is) at a standstill due to the injury. I felt like I was going in a circle with no way out. Frustration had set in – especially when I kept hearing “You’re still on crutches? Man, you’ve been injured forever.” Yep, thanks for the reminder. lol! I decided to just take a break and focus on…
