Andrea, this is one example of what these plaques look like (pic is of the internet)

As the "proper" military spouse that I am, I have on my wall that stereotypical plaque that states, "home is where the Air Force sends us!"  These plaques come in all shapes and sizes as well, they are made for every single branch of the military the US has.  They have dangly attachments that you buy separately on which you can have the name of every place they ever send you to.  These plaques are cute but, definetly not my style (they're very country!)  Anyone remember the geese decor of the 80's?  Well, these plaques fit in perfectly with that style of decorating!   None the less, one hangs on my wall as in every other military household I've ever been in! 

Why do spouses buy these little plaques anyway?  Well, while some may actually like the style for the grand majority of them I would have to say they just like to show off all the places they've lived!  My mother-in-law proudly displays one on her wall that has about 10 bases, which include two European countries.

the little dangly's come in several shapes too! mine are stars but, popular ones with the AF are little planes :)
  I don't yet have that luxury!

So I bought it for the message it sends, "home is where they send you" or, better yet for the message I interpret out of it "the place they send you to is, what you make of it!"  While some places can be "dream" destinations others.... well, not so much!  However, one can spend their time hating the place and being miserable and not really LIVING there at all!  Or one can make the best of the place go out and explore it, get involved in things, and make memories!  I will always choose the 2nd.  This blog is going to be about the places I live at and all the best things each place has to offer!  I will include reviews of my favorite places while I'm there.  If you ever come around to one of these places long after I'm gone at least you can have an idea of what to look for.  You can always say Joan sent you!  Who knows they may give you a discount at one of them :)

Thanks Joan. Now I know! I do remember seeing those. I once saw a guy make one out of a blank piece of wood. He burned all the information in it with some kind of device. Then he added some local landmarks instead of he house that is shown on the example. This was on an Army base in Germany. :-)
