:: About Me
Once upon a time, there was a good man and a good woman. They were introduced by a mutual friend, in Fort Walton Beach, Florida and fell in love. Upon marriage, the good man became a loving and devoted husband/father to the woman and her two children.
That woman is known as Boatswife, because of her husband's job, Boatswain's Mate, with the United States Coast Guard.
They have had glorious adventures in Mobile, Alabama ~ Destin, Florida and Bristol, Rhode Island. They homeported in Swansea, Massachusetts while in the New England area. After being selected, they embarked on a special trip to the South. Into unknown territories they went, eventually settling in Portland, TX. The good man fulfilled his mission for the Coast Guard in Corpus Christi, TX on the USCGC BRANT.
During the summer of 2004, he was asked to journey North to Sewickley, PA....USCGC OSAGE......Pittsburgh Steeler Territory. Their Terrible Towels were overjoyed! Unfortunately the Coast Guard doesn't do psychological evaluations on OINC's and sometimes you run into those that definitely need that evaluation, especially those in 2006. In CG life, you run into those issues and you eventually bounce back. We were blessed and headed to Sitka, AK in June 2007. We love it here and wake up every day counting our blessings. We live in the Great State of Alaksa, enjoying the experience to the fullest and the best part is that we are getting paid to do that! The Command on the USCGC MAPLE is excellent and they set standards for others to follow.
The man, woman and children have had a very good fifteen years together and hope to have many more. Bonds have grown stronger with the love of fast cars, football and hockey.
The children have flourished in their new habitat and have grown with the experience. The girls are at the ages of sixteen and eighteen. We have recently found out that their goal in life is to make us miserable. We try to outwit them-although it doesn't always work.
I can't forget our other child...Junior the Beagle. He is a doll....but what a troublemaker!
