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!!!!

Ever tried Vpike?

This is neat and really works. Just put in the address, including City and State.
http://www.vpike.com/

Put in any address. For example, put in the address of where you grew up, and you will be able to see the house you lived in growing up. There is a little map with a little man on it. You can move the little man up and down the block if you need to. I did that and was able to use the up and down arrows to navigate around my old neighborhood and see the houses of my childhood buddies. I was even able to move the arrows to my old grade school. It was such a rush to see where I spent the formative years of my life.
There may be some addresses that have not been filmed yet but I found mine. Try it. This is fun. Enjoy!

I found out about vpike back a while ago.Most places I looked for had not been filmed yet, but did see one house I owned many years ago, and where I live now.

It's Google Street View. Vpike simply uses their application. Go to Googlemaps.com and you can see the EXACT same thing.
