Don’t you just love it when littles don’t exactly know the words to a song, so they make up their own? Overheard this morning over breakfast tea… “I’m a little teeple, Hear me shout, Here is my left hand, Here is my shorts… “ It was all I could do to keep from cracking up [...]

I was just wondering because of Superboy’s recent interest in the Coast Guard (since our tour of the ship)…. Just what do you call someone in the US Coast Guard? You know, the generic term? I mean, someone in the US Army is a “soldier”. In the Marines, he is a …”Marine”. In the Navy, [...]

We finished up this set and are eagerly awaiting [...]

We are back from our “field trip” to the NC Coast. We had a blast! Too much to write about now, but Superboy will tell you all about it very soon! I will tell you this trip did nothing to cure his “Sea Fever.” I think it may actually be worse! Lord, have mercy on [...]

Well, it looks like we’ve finally succumb to Superboy’s Sea Fever and are headed tomorrow morning to the coast for an undetermined length of time. May not be blogging for awhile, but I promise to take lots of picture to share upon our return. In the meantime I’ll leave you with Superboy’s favorite poem… “Sea-Fever” [...]

For those unfamiliar with the “sport” here is a brief description from the site Letterboxing North America: Letterboxing is an intriguing mix of treasure hunting, art, navigation, and exploring interesting, scenic, and sometimes remote places.
