The other day Ben was telling one of our kids who is in the military about how he has 2 pairs of work shoes, one that he uses daily and one that he sets aside only for inspection days. We’re heard about how hard it is at first for some young people in the military who have never been exposed to anything military before. I was thinking how fortunate it is for kids from military families who have a parent to show them the ropes. Someday someone should write a book about these types of inside tips.
Vicki and her husband are thankful for 1 elderly dog at home and 4 adult kids living out of state. Some of Vicki's interests, in random order, include cooking (mostly Asian and plant-based) simple ethnic dishes using kitchen appliances/gadgets, minimalism/simple living, traveling (mostly in Asia), nature walking, snorkeling, container gardening, learning hula, reading non-fiction, listening to audiobooks, talking story with neighbors while walking our dog, visiting museums/historical sites, Lay Biblical Counseling and volunteering at church and in the community.
