Going to Never Never Land.......**

I have been suffering from a turkey and wine induced catatonic state today.  Its pouring down rain outside which gives me an even bigger excuse to be lazy.  

I am very proud of LEGS though- he went through three boxes this morning of stuff that I wasn't sure we should take to Germany.  We decided to keep the old DVD player because the DVDs over there are a different format so the Xbox might not play them.

There have been some realities about moving to Never Never Land (GERMANY) that we have hit full speed in the past week. One, is that apparently where we will be is so remote we have been told the only internet you can get is dial up.  I think it took LEGS and I several hours to break out of the shock and awe we were in after hearing this.  The back up plan is hopefully getting satellite, however, that is very expensive.  

Also, LEGS and I have become very accustomed to having our guns.  There is guns strategically placed all over the house- in case we need them.  Some of the things I have been through, seen, and have knowledge of have made me a very paranoid person, and certainly one that refuses to be victimized. 

We cannot take our guns to Germany unless we want them to be locked up at a Gun Club.  And then....What the hell is the point? I am upset about this because I will have no gun, no Jake, and will be in a country that has a high crime rate (yes we looked it up) despite what people think.......with LEGS getting deployed....

I guess all I can say is I feel sorry for any body that attempts to victimize me over there because there attack will not be humane in the least- I fully intend on getting a knife and learning how to use it- along with a bow and arrow, a Louisville slugger, poisonous darts, a viking sword, a machete, hot oil and plague........

I promised Crystal, Stormi's aunt at Thanksgiving yesterday that I would teach her how to knit today.  I am feeling lazy and tired, but I love knitting and feel its a dying art- so I must pass it on........I knit so I don't kill people....passing on this kind of peace to somebody else makes me very happy!

Teaching Crystal to knit was such a pleasant experience, she is a fast learner. Her and I gossiped all afternoon about life, people, writing, and knitting of course.  I love to hear other people's life stories, I take them with me and use the wisdom in the story in my own life.....LEGS and I were invited to dinner for Spaghetti and Meatballs with Stormi's family again- and I could not be more honored!!!

It was a beautiful night, playing games, laughing, telling stories, enjoying good food and good people.  I don't think Stormi's family realizes what pleasure they have given LEGS and I to be a in a family atmosphere.........

Just another day in the life of an unlikely military wife.......**
