I am a woman who is happily married, self-employed, the mother of two teenage daughters and “owned” by a lovable golden retriever named Sadie.
I am deeply patriotic and have an inexplicable love for our men and women in uniform who have selflessly put their own lives on hold and on the line in service to this country.
I used to be fairly moderate, but have found myself becoming more and more conservative as I get older and as I see what avid liberalism has wrought in this country. It is not a pretty sight.
I don’t mind discussion in the comments and welcome any who would wish to comment, but if you mess with my family, my country or the military, don’t expect me to be happy about it. I also do not tolerate foul language. If you want to make disgusting remarks, please do it somewhere else!
Thank you!
Twenty-seven is the best number.
I have one question of you. Let me preface it by saying that I love food and that I had for the first time ever-tried chile rellenos just a few days ago. You mention in one section that this is your favorite food,yet in another section you say that you dislike stuffed peppers. So Anna-what’s it gonna be girl- do you like stuffed peppers or not-because when I had chile rellenos-what I got was a stuffed pepper. So you leave me a bit confused–maybe I am wrong- but that is what I thought I was eating–maybe I am just more confused than I normally am-whatever I had it was very good. Another thing that is very good is your web-site-it is very professional looking-I am glad I found this because I wanted to contact someone about Joseph Tomci after I watched his story. Thank you for being here.
Nunzio, thank you so much for stopping by! 27 is a great number! It is the date of my birth, the date of my anniversary and the date of my youngest’s birth!
Stuffed peppers (and from the sound of it, the “chile rellenos” you had) are made with regular green bell peppers and are usually stuffed with meat, rice and maybe cheese (and I think are a Polish dish?). Chile rellenos, the way I grew up eating them and the way that my Mexican friend said they are traditionally made is with a green Anaheim chile pepper which are long and narrow with a bit of a bite to them and the skin is thinner and more tender. They are made stuffed with Jack cheese and coated in egg-white batter and fried, then served with a red sauce. They are delicious and I have yet to find a Mexican restaurant around here that serves them this way. They call stuffed bell peppers chile rellenos or they have one that’s closer called a stuffed pablano chile. Wow, I guess I just gave a chile relleno dissertation!
I’m glad that you found my site and that you enjoyed the posts about Joe Tomci. He was loved by many and he is sorely missed! The kids at the elementary school have a memorial by the playground with a tree and a marker and it’s very pretty.
Please come back any time!

Thanks for stopping by, stevereenie! I hope you enjoyed my rantings!
Anna,
God bless you, dear lady.
Let the truth be sounded from a thousand rooftops: Freedom is not free!
Every generation must bear the burden for those unborn: Americans, yet to come.

First off, Jack, thank you so much for your service. You endured not only the enemy without, but the enemy at home. I salute you, sir!
Secondly, I weep for the families of the fallen and know that they have sacrificed all so that my family can live free in this wonderful country.
I thank God for men and women like you who serve so selflessly!

I’m trying to spread the word about a contest with $2,000 in donations to military charities on my blog and website, VAJoe.com. I saw on your blog that you support many military charities, so I thought you might be interested. The contest is called Charity for Charities (http://www.vajoe.com/charity/). It’s a contest where people vote on their favorite military charities, and VAJoe will donate $2,000 to the winning charities. I thought this would be a fun way to raise awareness about military charities. I’m hoping you would mention it on your blog and help spread the word. There will be five winners.
Thanks,
Lane
Thank you for letting me know. As you can see, I’ve posted about it. Thank you most especially for all that you have done and are doing for our wonderful men and women in the military!
Thanks for posting about Charity for Charities! Do you know other blogs I should contact that would be interested?
Lane,
Most of the sites in my favorites are troop supporters loud and proud and some are more quiet about it. You should get a comment into Free Republic. They are the ones who support the troops outside Walter Reed every Friday, so they would be able to get the word out much further than I!
