Welcome home Rene! LOL They didn't come to my house, but they came to one of my son's friends from church. After they left she called me to tell me that she almost had a heart attack and it was Richard's fault. They came to the door and asked to sp…

Jazzy J you are so fortunate to be able to see your sailors over the holiday season and I am very happy for you. Jeano, anyone could have made that mistake. If everyone would truly be Americans and work for a better America instead of political par…

Jeano, I have heard it before and there is another one regarding a ship, I'll try to find it. I enjoyed it this time as much as the 1st time. Shannon, yes, tell your sailor all those things for all of us! lol Will he be upset that we told on him?…

Storymom, I'm sorry that I have no advice, but I love Port Orchard. Only been there once and it was a beautiful day!! Sea food is the best. Of course I was raised on the west coast so may be a bit partial. Yummy! Oh, but No Anchovies!!!

Steve, how wonderful for your family. Your sailor will make you proud. It's fun to watch them grow as they learn and serve. You'll have sad times. That never changes, but the proud moments make it all worthwhile. God Bless and Keep You & Your family!

Thank you so much, Debbie. Yesterday, when I was feeling sorry for myself a friend came over and brought me a fruit bowl with a Christmas card that thanked me for our friendship and all I do for her. Of course, it goes both ways. God is watching ove…

Happy Sunday, everyone. It was a rough weekend for our family, esp. my daughter and grandkids. So glad that it's over! Someone living in the same apartment complex had stolen her wallet with over $500 cash. Needless to say, going over to visit with…

Good afternoon, Sister Navy Moms. Grace, you are right it is so hard to let go. You are in my prayers. We had a rough week end. Just when we were getting ready to go to Longview to see my widowed daughter and my grandkids, my daughter called me ju…

Hi everyone. Well, I'm back from Longview. It was somewhat stressful. Just before we were about to leave the house on Friday, my daughter called and said someone had stolen her wallet (she knows who, but no proof) with all her Christmas shopping mon…

I worry so much when the kids travel. I give them instructions to call me every few hours to let me know their status. My daughter-in-law (sailors wife) came up from CA on Halloween. Her mom, 4 yr old daughter and 15 month old twins were with her. S…

Profile Information

About me:
I am the daughter of a sailor so when Rich told me that he wanted to join the Army I asked him to examine all of the military services. He did and chose the Navy. Richard is the youngest of 5 children and the only one to join the Navy. My oldest is a widow of 10 months with 4 children.

My husband, of nearly 10 years, is from the UK and at the time Rich enlisted was not a US citizen so Rich had to go into PS. He had been in the Navy for about 4 years now and is in training in Virginia for his 1st choice. He graduated from "A" school on 2-13-09 and will soon start "C" school.

We are a very close family and call each other almost everyday. I miss them all very much, but am very pleased with their successes and great choices.
I am here to support or represent my:
Child/Stepchild
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was proud and encouraged it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
It's so hard to let go especially since Richard is my youngest and lives so far away.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Gifts for Nimitz Ladies

Ms. Hanks,

I have finally heard back from the legal department on the ship and as generous an offer as this is, we can't accept it because it could be seen as discriminatory based on gender. Thank you so much for thinking of our sailors, but any gifts to the ship have to be for all sailors. If you have any other questions please feel free to email us.

Respectfully,
Kathy Meitl

I agree with you about the Fort Hood comment.
--We moved now and finally have all the boxes unpaked. It's a much smaller place than before. If our son comes home for the holidays he may end up on the couch, unless I can rush out and find a twin mattress real quick.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday if I don't talk with you before then!

anytime Charla! Hopefully you wont have to move out to find another "nowhere". I guess on the west coast a sure sign that your small town is going to boom is when a wall mart or a Safeway moves in. ...have you seen them yet???

Dear Charla,
You didn't go out to eat at least for your birthday? I love my lobster dinners! HAHA!

SO how is your Sailor doing? That's always so nice to hear from them.

I have nightmares of serial killers with knives. Lovely dreams. I don't even watch movies like that. I don't like slasher movies at all.

You know I dream of Rachel, a few times already, I have.
On occassion I dream of one of the wrestlers. That's funny, they're always friends in my dreams, that what I call them. I watch wrestling every Monday night. HAHA!

I actually slept all day. I only got up to eat. Doug had the computer all day and night. Darlene watched four foot ball games. I got out of bed at 6 PM.
I want to find something to do on the weekends, but I'm so limited. As for volunteering somewhere, I can't do much, Then the traveling scares me, when I get off the bus. Even with my cane, I walk like I'm drunk.

Let me get going. STay well.
Take care and God bless,
Love,
Barbara

Dear Charla,
I'm so bored of vampires, I'm vampired out! HAHA! For years, Kim read books on them and wrote poems about them. I was her proof reader. She made my toes curl, she was so graphic! UGH! She did get an award and even one peom got published, as graphic as it was! UGH!

You need to place update pictures of Carina on your page! HAHA!! How much does she weigh now?
You have kittens, good luck finding them homes. Years ago, I had a dog that had puppies. I was with her when she gave birth, 7 of them.. They were adorable, but oh they destroyed the house!! HAHA! I lucked out finding them homes.

I wouldn't have patience to fuss over long hair. My two dogs are short hair, one's a pug, and the puppy is a puggles, pug and beagel mix. Rosa's dog is a maltese, her fur is so badly matted. Ahe the dog is white, but she always has a dirty face, she doesn't get bathed that often.

Rosa just called, a neighbor of mine, who David is friends with, just got arrested on a drug bust. So Rosa called and told David to stay home. The cops did see David with this guy Maurisicio, David said he ran He's lucky the cops didn't chase after him. I told David you look quilty if you run. I've told him that for many years, he never listens.

Okay, I have a short term memory, I need a refresher course! HAHA! Which one is Logan and who is Mark.? I know one of them is your husband!! HAHA!

Let me get going. Stay well.
Take care and God bless,
Love,
Barbara
