Here's a link to a recent Postcrossing blogpost, I'm still exchanging postcards via Postcrossing.com and still loving it :)

Here's a few of the recent postcards I've received

February 2015

Been working extra hours lately, but finally had time today to take some pics of our wintry weather. Also had time to watch all the birds at the birdfeeders out front through the picture windows, which I Love to do. Took me all morning, but I Finally caught 'Woody Woodpecker' on camera,too :)

Love is in the ..fish tank :)

Someone gave us a second aquarium, so my husband asked me if for Valentine's Day/our anniversary later this month we could get more fish. (because nothing says "I love you" like..."hey baby, let's buy some more fish"? lol.

Seriously, we had a lot of fun, deciding to move all the Cichlids to the bigger aquarium, getting a few more of them to go in that tank

and then getting some different kinds of fish for the smaller aquarium (plus getting new decorations to put in both tanks)

Love is what you make it, I suppose..and in our case, it was aquariums this year :)

plus, it was time to get a new computer chair...the other chair would slowly descend randomly while you were sitting in it, and suddenly you would feel like a preschooler sitting at a desk for high schoolers or something, with your chin practically on the desktop....so it will be no surprise to anyone who knows my husband that This was the chair we got!

 Happy Valentine's day everyone !

Merry Christmas!

Every year, I repost the video of my daughter's solo in church back in '07

because I love it. Hope you enjoy! (I know she hates when I do this,lol, but that's what mothers are for :)

Wreaths Across America 2014

This past Saturday the 13th, Tony and I participated as volunteers in the wreath laying at Arlington National Cemetery.

The link to my blogpost about it on my other blog (and the link to the pictures we took)
is  HERE

We unfortunately missed the opening ceremony because the Metro was a mad crush of volunteers heading to the cemetery, and we had to use our phones to take pictures because the entire pack of extra batteries we'd bought were useless :( but it was still an uplifting, moving, awe-inspiring event to be a part of, honoring our nation's fallen heroes.
