Sunday, June 17, 2007 New Blog! I've finally managed to get a new blog up. That means bye-bye to blogger. If anyone reads here, please update your links / rss feeds to: http://www.ispindle.com/blog Thanks! Nannette permalink | Monday, April 02, 2007 Thanks =) A heartfelt and huge THANK YOU goes out to anyone who helped w/ my inundate Jack w/ emails and comments yesterday. Heard from Jack yesterday .... "I give up [writing back]" (not really .... ) "My you have alot of friends" "Exactly how many people did you tell anyways?" "Holy cow!" :::giggles::: Thank you so very much for being a part of our special day. We had originally planned a large retirement party, but when all our family said "no" they wouldn't attend, we nixed plans and made it a day for just for us. Which felt both very right and very wrong to us at the same time. Ya know? We're also talking about going here w/ our "party money". So how did we celebrate yesterday? Jack wanted to do some yardwork, he "ordered" a pot of homemade soup (potato and corn chowder today), we built a fire in the fire place, and made carrot cake for desert. Of course we had to make up some new favorite songs to sing before cutting into the cake. Many rousing choruses of "Happy Outofthenavyday to you!" were sung. My favorite song of the evening was: Good-bye Navy! Good-bye Navy! Good-bye Navy! Now you can kiss my ass!! That really summed up the feeling of the day. =) We're FREE! WOO HOO! And now today starts Spring Break, so we really have a whole week of No Navy, family time ahead! Maybe we'll geocache some more today. We came up 0-2 when we went out on Friday. We did however find a suspected eagle pellet and pile of well weathered bones. NEAT-O! Made the whole outing extra special. =D Nannette permalink | Sunday, April 01, 2007 Favor? PLEEEEEEEEEESE? Do me a favor, please? Today, April 1, April Fool's Day, is the very first day of my husband's new life as a civilian. Yes, that's right. We are NO LONGER OWNED BY THE MILITARY. This, folks, is certainly cause to celebrate. And yes, indeed we will be celebrating. =D Unfortunately, our family members have been turds and really could care less. Twenty hard years of service apparently mean nothing to them. Some declined to come out here because we dared retire during our rainy season. Wanted us to "postpone" our retirement so they could site see while they visited. Um. Yeah. Others were pissed because I wouldn't uproot myself for the weekend, leaving hubby behind on this special day. Apparently their plans were more special than our plans. Yeah. Ok. Will do. Needless to say, its been ridiculous. It seems awful to have this special day not be recognized in *some* way. Doesn't it? So this is where you come in .... So, if you would, please, kindly (please don't make me beg any more) drop a quick comment on his blog or even an email - j.w.huber~at~gmail~dot~com THANK YOU! And yes, the humor of the date is not lost on us at all. =D Nannette permalink | |
