I signed up for TokBox yesterday. It’s a new-ish video-chat client that is handled by your web-browser instead of being a stand-alone program (though they have that, too).

Check it out! I will be wrapping Christmas Gifts for tonight’s ARMY Christmas Party for the next little while if you want to try and say “hello”!


If I was able, I would buy my survival-wannabe-brothers these awesome paracord survival bracelets!

Check them out here.



They are bracelets of 15′-20′ of 550# genuine paracord!

From the website:

In an emergency situation, you can easily unravel the bracelet and deploy the paracord for use. If you do use your Survival Bracelet, simply send what is left back to us, along with your story, and we will remanufacture it for you, free of charge. Whether you are in the woods, on the boat, or running errands around town, you will always have several feet of 550 lb. test paracord with you at all times in a compact and stylish package. They come constructed with either a tough side release buckle, or a marine grade stainless steel shackle. It’s your choice. You can wear it on your wrist, or clip it to your pack. If you are looking for a big, bold, bracelet, this one is for you.

Ladies of survival-esque husbands: this would make a GREAT, late Christmas Present!

Interesting sign.

Yesterday after church we made the 3-hour trip East to my parent’s home in Middleburg, PA for their church’s Christmas Program – “An Open Door”. It was a play that I had participated in as a teenager when Mom directed it in South Carolina. Mom has actually directed it at each church they’ve ministered in!

It was a quick visit, but worth the trip! We headed home this afternoon and took our time. We stopped for some quick shopping and to take a picture of a church sign that I saw on the way TO Mom and Dad’s:
