Veterans' Day
11 November 2009

Welcome

Well here is our little slice of cyberspace.  This began in mid-2000 as a means to share photos with our families while we moved (with the Navy's help) all over the United States.

We hope to post photographs, drawings, links, stories, and such so everyone can keep in touch with us.  Hopefully you'll find something interesting or worth while.  If you do happen to find something worth commenting on, please send an e-mail, we'd really appreciate it.  This site is very time-intensive to maintain and it's nice to know that someone is reading it and appreciates it.  Also, if you would like to see something specific posted to the site please let us know about that as well.

This site is continually changing (sometimes not as often as it should), so please check back often.

The SITE INDEX will show you which pages have been updated recently or if new pages have been added.  It's a good place to start.

A NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS:  If you would like to print a particular photo out, please send an e-mail with the photo name and we'll send you the high resolution file (over 2 mB) for printing.  If you try and save/print the pop-ups, you'll be disappointed (they are low resolution for fast loading).

Thanks for visiting.

 

Site Update

01 November 2008:  Well this update has been a long time coming and is a major revision.  Firstly, for those of you still on dial-up 56K, the photo pages are going to kill you.  I changed the format from 25 photos per page to 50 per page.  This was to consolidate the pages - there was just getting to be way too many.  The largest page right now will take almost 5 minutes to completely load at dial-up speeds.  Sorry...but you really should get high-speed broad band, it's 2008!  I've also added ALL of the photos from 2006 and 2007 - there are A LOT of new photos there.  I'll be getting to the photos from 2008 soon and hope to have them posted in the next couple of months.  After this I am going to REALLY make a hard effort at updating every month or so.  Editing over a thousand photos over the past month has not been all that fun.  Anyway, start with the site index and that will show you what pages have had the content changed on them (updated) as well as show you all the new pages I've added.  Please let me know what you think of the update...especially if you are having significant problems with the pages loading now that I've consolidated the photos.  If enough people are having problems I'll split them back up (but I really would rather not).  Let me know though.


Family Update

01 November 2008:  I'd love to summarize what has happened to the family since the last update, but trying to get a year's worth of information into this block would fill it up many times over.  So, I'll just say that we are all doing well and will give the "big" update during our annual "year-in-review" that will be coming out next month.  Stay tuned.  The reason this update is taking place at all is that I transferred from Boston back to Portsmouth, VA and I'm down here by myself (no, Kelly didn't leave me)...we can't sell our house in this market, so I had to come down alone.  Kel and the kids are staying up there, probably until the summer (it'll be whenever we can get the house sold).  Anyway, that gives me a lot of free time and what better use of that time than to update the site for the past THREE years of photos!!!  We'll be getting the year-in-review out to you all...check it our here to get a summary of our happenings and doings in 2008.  Take care and Be well.

In My Humble Opinion... 

"You don't have to support war, but please support our troops.  They are our husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters and they deserve your support."

 

Support Our Troops

With multiple military operations in progress around the world a lot of our troops find themselves forward deployed and away from their loved ones.

Please use the links below to let them know that you care and that you support them.
