    Banana Sour Cream Bread Recipe

    April 29, 2009 /

    Leanne and I were talking. We love banana bread: love the smell of it baking, the taste, and the smiles that it brings to those who slice a piece (even when it is hot). Plain or with butter… banana bread is a winner! I have a recipe that my grandmother used. It is wonderful. It uses baking soda mixed with warm water for leavening. It was the master piece, the untouchable recipe. Then, along came one using sour cream. I am a sucker for sour cream recipes. This could be because the cardiologist recommended that it be removed from a 1/4 mile radius of our house. Well, not exactly, but…

    Old Navy Military Discount

    April 28, 2009 /

    I have to admit I’m a sucker for a discount! So when fellow army-wife, twitter-friend alerted me that Old Navy gives a military-discount on the 1st of each month I immediately sent out an email to Old Navy customer service to find out if this was true, or just a ‘legend’.

    April’s Military Family Newsletter

    April 20, 2009 /

    MilitaryAvenue’s April Military Family Newsletter(Subscribe to future newsletters) It is April! A month my family has been looking forward to for quite some time. Flowers are in bloom, the weather is warming up and most importantly my husband comes home after a very-long deployment. To say we are excited is an understatement. April is Month of the Military Child. I’ve enjoyed following the stories of a few outstanding ‘Brats’ at Voice For The Military Child this month. I have my own stories as the daughter of an Air Force pilot, and now I am watching the stories of my own children unfold as the sons of a deployed soldier. All…

    A Quick Repair Job, Great Service Attitude and Family Times

    April 13, 2009 /

    We have a quad ATV that we enjoy for family times–giving rides and pulling things around the woods on occasion as well. A couple of weeks ago a tree got in the way of one rider and the rear axle was bent just enough to make it wobble. So we decided to replace it. It is a saga of fun, frustration at times, a great group of service personnel and a great father/son time on a Saturday morning. We found the new axle but could not find the repair manual for it. When you buy something used there are usually no books that come with it and we looked online…

    The Fears of Reintegration

    April 10, 2009 /

    Thoughts have been welling around in my head for the last two weeks. Thoughts that can take any moment in the day down a windy slippery hill. Thoughts that I’m not sure what to do with. I am quite human you will soon discover. What is this fear lodged deep-down in my chest R&R was a couple months ago and it was better then our honeymoon. We were inseparable. We didn’t even have to be in the same room but I would just smile knowing we were in the same country, same state, same city, same house. I could nuzzle up to him at any point and just soak in…

    Carrots Dressed for Spring with Herbs

    April 9, 2009 /

    I do love thinking about Springtime. I love seeing plants work their way out of ground that was just snow covered and hard as rock. Now, the plot looks earthy, moist and flower ready. With a selection of flowers to cut to bring into the house brings to mind the garden that will soon be alive with seedlings: our vegetable garden. It grows each year. Grows plants, grows in size and grows in richness as we take care of the soil and plot. I am just hoping the deer won’t think it is there growing for them… they are encroaching upon the environs of our house. We did see them…

    I love carrot cake. It is rich, moist, has great ingredients: it is a party just waiting to happen! Cookies are a great dessert, snack and pick-me-up.
