I am the proudest wife ever!

Every year at Matt's NOSC (Navy Operational Support Center) they plan and host a huge event that is for the 700 reserve Sailors and the families of Sailors that are attached to the Columbus NOSC.

This even is called "Navy Reserve Family Readiness Day"
It's to let the Sailors & families know what resources are available to them while their spouses and family members are recalled to active duty / deployed.

There are activities for the children while the adults learn where to turn for help if help is needed. This information covers everything you can imagine, from medical problems & suicide awareness, to frozen pipes or downed trees during a storm. They give contacts for a variety of things for example family counseling or to volunteer groups that will mow lawns while husbands are deployed.

My husband's team at the Columbus NOSC won the award for the best "Navy Reserve Family Readiness Day" in the entire Navy.

Ok, I know I'm bragging, but an award for the best program in the entire United States Navy!

I am so proud of him and the men and women of his NOSC! They will be presented an award at The Pentagon's Hall of Heroes in February.

Marc Chagall, Painter of Symbols

I was recently shopping calendars at Barns & Noble when I came across a Marc Chagall edition. I fell in love with his symbolism, which I have been researching the past few days. His frequently repeated subject matter was drawn from Jewish life and folklore; he was particularly fond of flower and animal symbols Use of symbolism I gleaned from the web, in most cases I've tried to add my own thoughts. I'm not an art historian so my thoughts are just my thoughts. Personally the notion that the horses in Chagall's paintings only represent freedom seems absurd. Horses were work animals, they plowed fields and pulled carriages and wagons. Nearly every painting with a horse it seems to portray strength, support, commitment and loyality. In one painting the horse is painted directly on the crotch of the male subject... duh, looks like sexual prouness to me. Cow : Substainer of life. Another notion is that Chagall is striving to unite the bestial and the rational, the spontan...

Malt vinegar is made from malted barley. Rather than malt my own barley, which I do not know how to do, I decided to use a bottle of Guinness and 1 cup of Braggs Apple cider vinegar. Braggs is a living vinegar and as the starter should do the trick fairly quick and easy. I began my vinegar on February 18th by pouring the Guinness and Braggs into a small crock and placing it in the pantry. I covered the crock with a cotton fabric to keep dust and such out and let air, wild yeast and such in. By February 24 a short 5 days later I checked my concoction and found a mother was forming! The vinegar mother was not a solid layer, but a bunch of small globules floating on the top... so I guess I didn't have a mother, I had a litter *L* It was only a couple more days before I had a healthy mother completely covering the top of my Malt Vinegar. Now some people say when the mother sinks the vinegar is finished. When brewing other vinegars I never went by the "sink theory", I go by t...

Art and Artists

I have been reading about the significance of a person’s story. Not just any story but the story about who we are. Then I remembered a long time ago I read something about artists and how people don’t buy most artwork because they like the art. They buy it because they like the artist, something about the artist interests them or intrigues him. So from now on this blog is going to be about me. Me writing about stuff, any kind of stuff that goes on in my life or in my head. I’m gonna start telling you my story. Maybe if you read about who I am you might think; “Well, she hasn’t cut off an ear but she sounds pretty interesting.” You might even think; "I Like her." Or; “I want to buy some of her art.” All the stories I’ve written in the past are not going away they’re just going to be in the archives and I’m going to start telling you about what I think about art, why I love something, or why I hate it, and why I painted it. I ...
