Welcome to the Ann Tucker Blog!

Welcome to my personal blog. Thanks to my son for building this neat blog page. I decided I wanted to give my thoughts and words to the world and hope they have some meaning and memories to grandparents (and others) everywhere. I am a retired civil servant (35.5 years with the Department of the Air Force), mother of two and grandmother of five. My maiden name was Scaling and I was married to Tilford N. Tucker. I raised and put two great children through college so I have a lot of experiences to build on. After retirement I became a webmaster (working for my son) for some of our family websites: ShaggyDuck
Have a fun time and a great day, bookmark this site and come back often!!!!

Only in America.....

I thought these were very symbolic of our way of life. If you can think of any let us know:


Only in America .......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in America ......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

Only in America .....do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

Only in America .....do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage

Only in America.......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

Only in America......do we put the items we need most in the back of the grocery store so we will buy items we don't need as we go there.

Only in America .....do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering..

The braille lettering has always puzzled me. If you're blind... should you really be driving?

Makes you think - we do some things that don't make complete sense, don't we?

I hate it when my grocery cart is already full of cookies, chips, candy and crackers, before I even make it to the veggies/fruit and meat sections.
