In honor of the upcoming Halloween season & to get me in the mood for it (since they don’t celebrate Halloween here) I thought I would delight you all with the first of what I’m sure will become a regular series – thanks to Moo. Fanfare, please.
[Duh, da-da-dah!!!]
Maggie Moo Mystery Theater!
Episode One: Maggie Moo & the Midnight Morsels
[dimming light, dramatic music]
Scene One: 2 months ago
It was late at night. Eric & I were already in bed. He was blissfully sound asleep but I was startled awake by distant, haunting sounds.
crunch, crunch, crunch
It was coming from the other room. And it was getting louder!
crunch, crunCH, CRUNCH!
I looked over at Eric – not a flinch. My super-hero husband was out cold, leaving me to be the lone household defender.
CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH!
I looked over for Moo-Moo, but she was gone! And in my slumbering stupor I thought,
‘Oh my God! IT’S EATING MAGGIE!”
CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH!
What do I do?! What do I do?!
There’s no gun in the house & I lost my Louisville Slugger somewhere in the move from Texas to Virginia.
CRUNCH, CRUNCH…CRACK!
That did it – that sound made me summon all my courage & I raced out of the bed.
I made my way through the darkness of the bedroom, out the door & into the open upstairs area to find Maggie…
CRACK, CRACK….(cough-cough) HACK!
…with the remnant, miniscule bits and mangled plastic morsels scattered across the floor. As she quickly tried to swallow the evidence of her crime.
Can you guess what it was?
FOOTNOTE: No Erin, you are not allowed to guess or tell, since you already know what it was.

A piece of jewelry?
The rabbit ears for the TV???

(sorry not very creative today)
Hi Jennifer! I’m Cynthia Stinson’s mother by way of an introduction. They’ll be leaving on November 9th and heading your way soon. By the looks of the above picture could it possibly be those little things you put around stemware glasses so people can tell which drinking glass is theirs?
Anyhow, I’ve been visiting your blog because I wanted to get an idea of life in Korea because John and Cynthia have asked me to come too. I’m a family nurse practitioner and have worked for the Army before when we were all at Ft. Leonard Wood (I chuckled at your pharmacy picture because it seems like the same thing happened at our base pharmacy when you tried to retrieve your medications).
Anyhow, I put my application in on October 8th (deadline October 10th) and haven’t heard a word back. The thing is humans don’t initially read it, a computer does! You have to have what I call “magic words” in your resume so the computer alerts a human to read it. AGH!!!! And of course, that computer is in Maryland.
Is there anybody that you know that could be an “inside” sponsor? Perhaps a doctor or nurse who would be willing to get my resume to a decision maker in the 168th Multifunctional Medical Battalion? Sponsors get a referral bonus of $1,000.
Your blog is delightful and has convinced me that life in Korea may be very nice. Hope you like the pictures that Cynthia is downloading to you.
Blessings,
Sandra Sterling
