A Moment Out of the Norm: Dog Show
A moment out of the norm. “Grinda” is a rescued pup. She is a hoot! She is a Welsh Corgi Pembroke. She has short legs and long ears. She also has our hearts and pride of ownership streaming all around her. Yesterday was her moment to shine. Well, we all take that idea differently… the car for example shining moment would be a wax job. The house’s shine would be a spring cleaning.

Free Laptops for our Military Families
Technology … it has helped me survive this deployment! When Hubby is not on “the road” and has his normal routine on base in the sand-box we regularly IM and chat via our web-cameras. There is just something about that ‘good-night kiss’, that “How was your day, honey?” conversation that ends my day on a very positive note!
