    Joining Forces Christmas Cards from Military Children

    October 31, 2011 /

    As you know I am all about military support!   I am the granddaughter of World War II Veterans, the daughter of an Air Force pilot and the wife of an Army Soldier.  Anytime I can instill pride in my children for these generations before them I do. So I really love the idea behind Michelle Obama’s latest Joining Forces request. The First Lady is asking military children from around the globe for some personal contributions to the finishing touches on the White House decorations this holiday season. The request is for military children to submit 5×8″ handmade holiday cards with words of appreciation for their military parents, as well…

    Herb Pull Apart Yeast Rolls

    October 30, 2011 /

    There is nothing like fresh bread out of the oven to complete a meal.  In the past my family has been big fans of frozen store bought rolls, like Pillsbury or Rhodes.  However, I recently discovered how much more delicious made from scratch rolls can be.  A perfect compliment to soups, steak, or chicken.  This side-dish complements the senses. This easy recipe recipe makes 18 rolls, which would be perfect for a Thanksgiving get together but if you are making just for a family dinner you can freeze what you don’t plan on eating for another night.  It’s a great way to save a little money and have homemade deliciousness on hand!…

    A Minute out of the Norm: Painted Candle Holders

    October 28, 2011 /

    There is something about a candle in Autumn.  Even a small flame gives off heat as we adjust to new temperatures outside.  Something as simple as looking at a warmly-lit candle can heat me up from the inside out.  Temperatures have fallen here in NE Ohio and my neighbor friend and I enjoyed a craft that can be enjoyed of all ages, from 4 years old to 37 and older. What you will need: A glass jar.  We used two mason jars that I have used for canning garden veggies in previous years.  You can also make smaller candle holders with baby-food jars.  This is a great job for recycling…

    Your Voting Opportunities Just Got Easier! DoD Blogger Roundtable

    October 28, 2011 /

    Time does seem to fly! We are approaching Veterans Day 2011 so fast. Do you know that by next Veterans Day we will have had elections for President, Congress and local officials too! Why talk about elections now? Because so many of our veterans and in particular, active duty folks did not vote in 2010 or 2008! The folks with so much at stake with the direction of their government; either, made the choice not to vote, or had a problem getting their ballots. So… we talked to Mr. Bob Carey, director, Federal Voting Assistance Program during a Bloggers Roundtable yesterday and he outlined what the federal government and DoD…

    “Life is Not Over When Injured” – One “Heroes at Home” Veteran Shares

    October 26, 2011 /

    He refused their help not once … twice … but three times… before saying yes. Why? “Others needed it more”. … It was a simple announcement on his part but I heard the caring attitude underneath of a medic, taking care of others first had always been part of him, but now he needed some help. Sgt Johnny Agpi was the 1,000th veteran who received help from the Sears Heroes at Home and Rebuilding Together program. After talking to his fellow Army veteran, Tom Aiello about the efforts to rebuild Johnny’s home yesterday I wrote about those helping our veterans, “Heroes at Home Helping Veterans One at a Time”.  I…

    We are so close to the end of Breast Cancer Awareness month that I can almost taste it… that would be Halloween.  Pink ribbons, orange pumpkins: it is a world of color right now. We are so close to the end… oh that it were so close to the end of breast cancer! Nancee and I stood outside in September on a cool blustery night.  Our hair was zipping this way and that.  We both relished in the idea that we were having a wild hair moment.  We both had been without any hair… evidence there was no such thing as a bad hair day for us. Survivors know this.…

    Heroes at Home – Helping Veterans One at a Time

    October 25, 2011 /

    It was an easy conversation, two veterans talking about what they both enjoy doing – helping other veterans, particularly those in need. None to be left behind… Tom AielloTom Aiello and I had met in New York during another great veteran event last year but now we were talking about the Sears Heroes at Home program. Heroes at Home had just finished the rebuild of their 1,000th veteran home in conjunction with Rebuilding Together. I could hear the pride in Tom’s voice as we talked about the program that has given back so much to veterans. Sgt Johnny Agbi was an Army medic, disabled, in a wheel chair, living alone…

    Tourists!  Here I am!  Yo buddy!  Do you love seeing a new city, new sites?  Bring on the best views to entice fellow tourists to spread the money: easy transportation.  No parking, no subway stairs or questionable taxi rates, just pull out the ticket and hop on the bus! Las Vegas, NV is a total tourist town.  The action is laid out on a long strip of land that, if you are wearing sensible shoes, you can walk and walk love the sunshine and keep on walking.  However, to get the quick and dirty look of the town… the Hop On Hop Off bus is perfect.  The double decker stops…

    Help for Our “Troubled” Veterans

    October 21, 2011 /

    This Veteran’s Day may not be so special for a group of veterans – those incarcerated in our federal and state prisons. Do you know a veteran who took a wrong step or maybe the legal system went awry? According to 2007 statistics there were 140,000 veterans in prison (federal and state) and most had honorable discharges from their military service. (National Coalition of Homeless Veterans) Facing similar situations as our homeless veteran population with mental illness, addictions and reintegration issues they are frequently forgotten members of our society. A friend who served time at Ft Leavenworth’ US Disciplinary Barracks is still a strong emotional memory. A subordinate imprisoned there…
