Today's Photo Journal: A family business...

It's Memorial Day, and one of those times when I get a little misty-eyed about military service and the way it's defined our lives.  Our military ties influence every aspect of our home, where Airman is a term for both Daddy and Momma, and we've been blessed to know many other couples who've turned military service into a family business.

A rare photo of SuperHusband and I on duty together, posing with The Gambler in front of a C-5 Galaxy...Kenny Rogers confessed later to SH that he thinks I'm a bad driver.  In my defense, your honor, the gentleman had just had back surgery and Dover AFB has lots of speed bumps.

Fair warning:  The photos here are only loosely tied to the posting.  Sometimes I'm a little schizophrenic.  Whatever.  Just enjoy both...?  :)

Thirty-One Skirt Purse Sew-Along, Operation Homefront and GIVEAWAY Step 2!

Okay, try to ignore my hideously ugly kitchen counters and check out these beautiful Thirty-One bags!  I'm uber-excited about the skirt purse.  I bought it specifically so I could make my very own cute skirts out of any fabric that suits my fancy!  In fact, in a few weeks, I'm going to do a Skirt Purse Sew-Along!  (...more on that below.)  This is the complimentary skirt I picked to come with it.  Pretty, yeah?  In My Other Life I have to carry a black purse all the time with my uniform, so I'm a sucker for a bright color the rest of the time.  I love this pop of red.

Today's Photo Journal: "You dropped a bomb on me, baby!"

What does my house have in common with The Hurt Locker?  Both are crawling with explosive ordnance disposal technicians.
