Well, after 24 years it’s Farewell to the Air Force. It’s been a part of our daily lives. More than just a job, it was a career, a lifestyle, an accomplishment, a burden…but it was never just a job. That’s the difference between a military career and a civilian career in my opinion and that’s …
Wow! That year went fast. So let me refresh your memory. We closed on September 14, 2020, and this land officially became ours.

It got me thinking about my son who is a senior. With the help of crowdsourcing on Facebook, I …
My thoughts on April, the Month of the Military child as it comes to a close. Don’t feel pity for my military kids or feel sorry for them. Additionally, don’t point out the fact how hard moving so frequently has been for them. Why? Because for what they have lost they have gained so much more. …
I want to apologize for being away and I hope to get back to your regularly scheduled programming on a more consistent basis. First off, I was hospitalized on February 25th. The diagnosis was hepatitis (liver injury) caused by an adverse, allergic reaction to Augmentin I took for a sinus infection. I had stopped the …
Watch any home show on HGTV and you will see decorators using today’s hottest trends to remodel, update or create new homes. The only problem is that there isn’t one on the quirkiness of a home and how to embrace it or turn it into the hottest new trend. Where is that show? What Joanna …
