THIS IS SPOOKY BECAUSE THIS LOOKS LIKE THE VERY SPOT DANNY AND I WERE STANDING LOOKING DOWN AT THE WASHERS WHEN WE VISITED TEHRAN, IRAN IN THE EARLY 1970'S. TO THIS VERY DAY THERE IS STILL A LOT OF DUST FROM THE RIVER WATER IN THE RUG.

U.S.Naval Academy, Annapolis. Maryland. THIS IS THE INSIDE OF THE CHAPEL WHERE DANNY AND I WERE MARRIED. THIS JUST SHOWS A SECTION OF THE AISLE AND IT WAS OVERWHELMING TO ME. THANK GOODNESS DADDY (BEBOP) WAS WITH ME.

Mister Rogers Remixed | Garden of Your Mind | PBS Digital Studios
Curious to see what happens when remix culture meets Mister Rogers? That's a good thing! (Thanks to the Fred Rogers Co. for its support)

GOLF LESSONS - Now this was another dream I had as a young navy wife. Wanted to learn to play golf so Danny and I could share a sport together. But, don't take lessons when you are 7 month's pregnant. That swing will throw you to the ground in a hurry.

Got to find a camel
Camels in the Desert in Bahrain, of course...WHEN WE LIVED THERE IN THE EARLY 70'S WE WOULD TAKE THE CHILDREN TO THE CAMEL RACES. THE JOCKEYS WOULD SIT IN A CAMEL SADDLE AND THEY RACED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS THEY DO IN THE HORSE RACES. FUN TO WATCH...

Annapolis, Maryland State House Picture - BEFORE I MARRIED DANNY I WAS A LEGAL SECRETARY AND WORKED IN ONE OF THESE BUILDINGS. LOVED WALKING DOWN THE MANY SIDE WALKWAYS ON A BEAUTIFUL SUMMER EVENING.

NEWPORT RI....WE LIVED HERE FOR 2 YEARS. DANNY ATTENTED THE WAR COLLEGE AFTER WE ARRIVED HOME FROM HIS TOUR OF DUTY IN MANAMA, BAHRAIN. A BEAUTIFUL CITY SEEMINGLY TUCKED AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD. WE ENJOYED ALL THE ENDLESS ACTIVITIES OF WATER SPORTS AND TOURING THE BEAUTIFUL MANSIONS. DEEP SNOW OF THE WINTER MONTHS KEPT US BUSY TEACHING OUR LITTLE ONES HOW TO SLED. DANNY WAS FROM THE DEEP SOUTH. CAN YOU IMAGINE? HE HAD AS MUCH FUN, IF NOT MORE, THAN THE CHILDREN...

Bunco - I loved playing bunco a few years back. Tried to get a group going again, but the gals didn't take it seriously enough. Anyone interested in this neck of the woods to get the gals going again?
