Simple Spring Snacking: Kiwi

Posted in Homemaking, and Photography

Recently, Munchkin discovered that she really likes Kiwi fruit.  It makes a delicious easy snack in the afternoons.  I’ve enjoyed Kiwi for as long as I can remember.  I like the tart, not-quite-ripe Kiwi as well as the sweet, very ripe Kiwi.  I remember enjoying these special treats when I was a child.  Munchkin wasn’t sold on them until this week.  I sliced up a few for my after lunch snack, and she asked to try one.  She took her first bite and promptly asked if she could have more.  Before I knew it, the plate was gone.  She’s now…

Lest We Forget…

Posted in Military Life

Lest We Forget – Their Sacrifices Made Your destiny was fixed and carved in marble stone. Your fate changed time to an instant of thought, To save lives beyond that of your own. So when History calls, Time echoes the stories of the cost. Thus, we attentively join in praise and hymns to salute the memories of the lost. Oh lest we forget all the sacrifices made, Lest we forget why our freedom here still reigns, The price you paid to prevail against hate and tyranny. Lest we forget our smile is enjoyed because of you, So I pray the…

His Truth is Marching On

Posted in Christian Life, and Military Life

Battle Hymn of the Republic (original version) Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on. (Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on. I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps, They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps: His…

Gone Camping for the Weekend

Posted in Family

We’re heading out to the desert to camp for the weekend.  We’re taking the travel trailer this time.  We’ll only have the water that we take with us.  We will be taking a generator with us, so we can cool off the trailer as needed.  For the most part, we’ll be unplugged and enjoying the great outdoors. Munchkin and D will be riding their dirt bikes.  We’ll do some exploring.  I’ll do some reading.  We’ll relax, play some games, goof around, and just have a fun weekend. I have some posts scheduled, but I’ll be away from the computer. I…
