Shannon is a wife here at Fort Stewart and she is looking to take pictures of a 2013 high school senior. She has taken all kinds of photos: deployment, family pics, maternity... she has yet to do senior pictures and will take them for FREE to add to her portfolio.
All others in the area can check her out on Facebook at Shannon Goody Photography - her prices are reasonable and the pics are cute =)

Being Green - Saw this Floating around FB
Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older
woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags
weren't good for the environment.
The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing back in my earlier days."
The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations."
She was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.

Suicide Prevention Week - September 9th - 15th, 2012
This week is Suicide Prevention Week.
I met someone a few years ago who had committed suicide. I won't share the story because I don't want to tell it without those involved knowing I am writing of it. I will say that it was a horrible tragedy and affected MANY people. I barely knew her and it affected me. She had a history of being depressed. Research has consistently shown a strong link between suicide and depression, with 90% of the people who die by suicide having an existing mental illness or substance abuse problem at the time of their death.

Teddy's From The Troops - (Product Review)
"Teddy's From The Troops" was started last November by an Army Veteran/Army Wife, Pamela Larson. During her husbands third deployment she took some of her old uniforms and made a few bears for her 2 young children to help comfort them during the deployment. Pamela says her children immediately loved them and that is what gave her the idea to start making them for others to give to their children who are dealing with a military separation.
Mrs. Larson did research on different styles of bears and tested the finished products on her kids and with some of her friends. Her finding was that her bears helped bring some comfort to children who were going through a military separation from one of their parents.
