Anyone who has known me for longer than five minutes knows I am from Texas. I’m not a “native Texan,” but I am a transplant who calls Texas home. I also don’t recycle. I know, I know, shame on me, but I have a reason.

Every now and then I get a comment about a particular letter I wrote in our March issue. I thought it might be time to visit the letter again…
There are two kinds of people: givers and takers.
In our community, I’ve seen both extremes. There are the consummate givers, the spouses who attend each function, [...]
Today was a bad day. I was coming home from the dentist with my three little boys with clean teeth in the back of the van. I was on the highway, and I heard the pop. My tire blew out. I was about ¼ mile from the front gate and hobbled my van up to [...]

Ok. So, we all know how much I don’t like Over-Commercialized-Sugar-Induced…oh, wait, I mean…Valentine’s Day. Yeessshh….I don’t like romantic movies, I don’t eat chocolate and goofy stuffed animals make me nauseous. But, alas, it IS the day my husband proposed to me–on a rainy pier at Rudee’s Inlet in Virginia Beach many [...]

More delegates can be won on Super Tuesday than on any other single [...]
I developed my own acronyms for the purposes of this blog. MSWK = military spouse with kids, MSWOK = military spouse without kids, (but who want them some day)
