Saying goodbye...


Letting my boy go was one of the hardest things I've ever done...

 Taking the oath for active duty service. Caught him saying his name...

Very proud parents and their not-so-much-a baby.




Anchors aweigh, my boy...

Today's the day...


Sonshine ships out...






I'm at MEPS saying goodbye. If I miss Friday, forgive me.

Monday Storm Edition


Last Thursday afternoon, a wild thunderstorm pin-balled its way across the Metroplex. DD works in the northwest quadrant of Fort Worth and we live on the far east side. Her work got nothing. We lost two large branches out of the dead tree and the whole neighborhood was littered with tree debris from the wind and hail and sideways rain. Limbs and trees were downed as well. Now, just a few miles northish--in the business park where our office is--nothing. There was rain and some wind, but the streets were free of the tree debris...

We lost power for a few hours, but it was back on before bed time. The Internet, however, has been stroppy all weekend.

Sonshine and I spent some time this weekend cleaning up the front yard.

Hope you had a lovely weekend without too much clean-up to do.

Spring Cleaning...


I'm a little behind schedule, but with Sonshine heading off to basic training next week, it seemed a good time to do some household clean-up.

We finally got through the bulk of Sonshine's stuff from his room, getting everything he wants to keep into boxes. His room will become DH's home office so that he can work more easily from home in the evenings and on the weekends.

But along with Sonshine's room, I've been tackling a junk drawer here and a box in the garage there. We have a lot of stuff, and it's as good a time as any to weed through it all and get rid of the stuff we never use.

How about you?? Are you a pack rat or do you maintain sleek storage areas in your house??
