    A Book Review: “Home and Away” A Story of Family In A Time Of War by David and Nancy French

    July 12, 2011 /

    I laughed and I cried (mostly laughed)! What a great book for military couples, their families and even their civilian friends! “Home and Away, A Story of Family in a Time of War” by David and Nancy French brought back memories and new images of warfare and families! This book will help military families see themselves during the two wars that our country is fighting! Or maybe, not the whole country as David felt as he read about a soldier with a family, wounded in war? “Why not me?” asked David. As a 37 year old, comfortable and living well as a lawyer, he was convinced of a gap between…

    Plant Your Easter Bulbs

    February 18, 2011 /

    As I write this the temperature has climbed up into the 50’s. LOVE it. Last week we were into the minus degrees. Change comes and it goes, but the calendar marks the real changes that are coming: Spring and sunshine. Ahhhhhhh! There is a tangible change that you can experience right now. An ugly bag with a hairy bulb looks like it will be anything but beautiful. And change is so hard to see. Because the Easter amaryllis will take about 6 weeks to bloom get it ready to pot now. Placethat bulb in a fresh pot, with soft potting soil, drab as it seems, and as far away from…

    Consider the Army’s electric footprint – DoD Roundtable

    July 8, 2010 /

    Customer Service 1,000 miles Away

    June 16, 2010 /

    Dale and I zoomed thought the aisles of the Fort Riley PX. It is a great store, some seems to be better than others… could it be I love the one I am in at the time? No matter. Fort Riley’s PX has racks of clothing, shelves with Vera Bradley bags, eye catching sandals, and summer pizzazzy (my word) crocheted fun purses.I was shopping for a fun outfit to wear to a niece’s wedding in New York. I have a standard wardrobe. I know my colors. I can mix and match items from one outfit to another, ready to be on the road with as little baggage as possible. So,…

    The REAL “Priceless Packages” at Ft Riley

    May 25, 2010 /

    It is a tough time to be a military family! Period! No ifs; ands or buts! The military members’ multiple deployments to combat zones and the inherent dangers are too frequent with not enough time in between! The Guard and Reserve forces are being over tasked beyond their traditional roles and the active duty forces are seeing multiple deployments while continuing to PCS; do continuation and upgrade training; and respond to contingencies such as Haiti humanitarian relief! So seeing smiles and hearing young Army spouses laughing and giggling during last weeks Army Wife Network’s Field Exercise and their “Priceless Packages” was great! Star Henderson and Tara Crooks led a “seminar”…

    Free Music from AAFES – For the Troops II

    November 25, 2008 /

    Have you downloaded your free music from AAFES? Did I just say FREE?! I saved all of the free music (14 tracks in total, in MP3 format) to my computer and am looking very forward to listening to it in the future. Thanks to all of the artists that so generously donated to this project. I know there will be MANY service members and their families tuning into your music. Here is AAFES Press Release for more information: From the brass bands of the civil war to blaring music from a loudspeaker before a battalion run, American troops “move out” to a soundtrack that is all their own. Recognizing that…
