Everything’s Bigger In Texas
They say everything is bigger in Texas and after our recent trip I would certainly agree. For those that don’t know, my daughter, son-in-law and grandson are now in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Grandson Teaches Me To Live In The Moment
My 3-year old grandson continues to teach me lessons even though he’s 2,052 miles away. I’ve mentioned this before how babies and toddlers live in the now. They are hungry NOW.

Military Deployments Can Be Tough For Everyone
I’ve been getting a first hand look at the struggles military families face when a loved one is deployed. I’ve known about it but I guess I never really appreciated it until I saw it affect my own children and grandchild. Almost two years ago I was in Virginia Beach to help with my grandson.…

A Terrific Day Honoring A Wonderful Man
It was a terrific day yesterday as hundreds of people gathered for the naming of the Dr. Frederick M. Kalisz. Jr. Sea Lab Marine Science Education Center. A few months ago I received an email from the committee asking if I would be the emcee for the event. I was honored. Without giving it another…

Sometimes I’m Reminded How This Is Real
Every now and then I get a reminder that this “$&it’s real!” This weekend I’m back in Virginia Beach, hanging with my grandson Liam, but the real reason for my visit is my son Doug has re-enlisted in the Navy for six more years. It’s hard to believe he’s already been in for ten! This…

Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, and I feel like I haven’t talked to you in a forever! I just had a great visit with Grammy and Grampy, even though I prefer to call them Bitty and Betty. More on that in a couple of minutes. (Bitty tells me that’s a tease. Hee hee!) I think…
