Here are some photos. Perhaps later this week some of this stuff will actually start melting. Beautiful photos. This is about all I like about snow - it's pretty to look at otherwise I am done with it. If I have remembered all the snowfalls correctly, we are just over 50 inches of snow received in 2021 in Upper Bucks County, PA (that doesn't count the storms we had in Nov/Dec). Ugghh! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we thank him for that. 🙂 He actually volunteered to go over there. Bahrain definitely wasn’t like it is now. Now it’s bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t realize for awhile how lucky he was not to go to Vietnam. He said one week a group of them would go to Vietnam and the next week a group would go to Korea. From what I hear Korea was no cake walk either, but I agree not as bad as Vietnam. Mike’s dad was also in Korea. 25 minutes ago, DaniDanielle said: I LOVE ruebens.

Same as me I was in 1969 to 1971 , I think it was my previous jobs in computers that kept me out of Vietnam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted February 22, 2021 #8831 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Other than being away from home. It wasn’t that bad he said. A lot of people tell him how hard it was for him to be there during the Korean War, which was a lot of years before he got to Korea!! He was just a little guy during the actual Korean War🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted February 22, 2021 #8835 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Lisa and Owen were busy after he finished his school work at home. I blew snow as it was a continuous rain/snow event. The two of them came out and got some fresh air. They rolled some snow and made this snowman. Pine cone eyes, icicle nose, cedar hair with a wig of hydrangea flowers and a smile of wood. I suggested one more pine cone but it was shot down. 😆 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it has been a tough road just getting him to ask for help at all from the VA, but that is changing now. Sad thing is Bucky needed to separate himself so much from the whole thing when his two tours were over in Vietnam. The reception he got from the "Baby killers" type mentalities here at home was as you know...a far cry from what the military gets now as they are considered returning hero. He was shunned and worse. Bought a small sail boat to shake it all off and took off for a couple of years in the Carib, doing whatever he needed to survive. His ex wife never wanted to hear about any of it. Not until he met me, years later and I was able to talk him through it to stop the night sweats, the sitting upright and shouting in his sleep, and mostly the depression. Those are over now, thankfully. It's only been 10 years or so that, with my nudging...he has been going to the VA for his medical needs. He has a wonderful relationship now with our local clinic. He enjoys the staff there. And is no longer afraid to ask for some military discounts at places. He is a changed man. Though I think he still misses growing his own Oregano from many years ago. 😉 Tell Bucky he needs to purchase a summer cabin up here in Canada. We support gardeners. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally fascinating! 👍 Would definitely go way over this blonde's head!! 😉 Retired in 2014 at 62 years old. Total of 39 years 5 months and 3 days (who's counting) working for the DoD as a civilian, CSRS.

Milwaukee Eight Posted February 23, 2021 #8847 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Getting ready for Civilian Challenge this coming Saturday. Tore down test patterns in the back parking lot and began moving the patterns to the main parking lot. Lot will be cleared tonight so we can finish setting up tomorrow. This pattern is likely the toughest. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
