My first effort.

Hello, this is my first effort at blogging. So, a little about me. I'm a grandmother of 8 and a great grandmother of 8 also - and in all that mob, only three boys! I've been married to my husband, Jim, for lo these many years, 54 in fact.

Retired from a civilian job with the U.S. Army, at the Pentagon for the final 13 years. Retired as a program analyst as a functional manager for the Army's resource data base. That means I was supposed to know what the output should look like, and be properly balanced - not that I was a techie :-))

Wednesdays are a sort of at home day for us -- Tuesdays and Thursdays both of us do volunteer work - Jim at the Veteran's Hospital and at the local Recreation Center and me working with the English for Speakers of Other Languages program of our church - Truro in Fairfax, Virginia.

Last week we had a dinner for a Korean student and her family as they return to their homeland. Here's a group of us:

Today I managed to wash and fold four loads of laundry, finish the chicken broth to be used when cool weather comes as chicken soup.
