I am also an "older mom". I thought that I was average, but some mom's here are about 38 years old. I am almost 56, and I have a 85 year old in my house, but he can take care of himself and is a joy to have around. I am a Licensed Counselor and wo...

Jan is DJ still in New Orleans? I read on the prayer list that he is having back problems. Is he ok? My army son in Alaska has also hurt his back, and they are trying injections now. He and his army wife are expecting our first grandchild next mon...

Hi, Jan!
Thanks so much for joining our Mom of IS Sailors group and writing on my wall. You surely know more about the Navy than many of us, so you'll be a great person to ask general Navy questions. My son, Jim, finished up at Dam Neck in early November and was posted to the UK a week later. He's only 19 (Mom talking! His Dad says, "He's 19!" like it's grown :)) He loves it and I'm happy for him but I miss him!
I would be glad to talk with your daughter-in-law about homeschooling. This is our 9th year. Our daugher is 16 and our identical twin boys are 15. Jim homeschooled during middle school, but decided to go to the local high school. He didn't learn anything but he thought he was having lots of fun. We are so thankful that he decided to go into the Navy to get some structure in his life. God used lots of his experiences in Great Lakes to ultimately place Jim where he is now. I kept a blog about it all if you ever want to read about it on my home page. Anyway, I'm not a homeschooling expert, but I am certainly interested and willing, so please let your daughter-in-law know I'm here if she wants to contact me.
I look forward to getting to know you better! Ellen

Hi Jan watching the video of the flag raising. So proud. Never understood the meaning so much as now. Not much new here. I do get to talk to my son when they go to port on the week-ends in SD.. I miss him like you do.. I fell so sad today .I guess the loss of the father in Va really did it to me. We take so much for granted..Well gtg and get ready. Got a busy day ahead of me. You should join in on our CT site..Nice family..Take care. Love to see you there.

DJ
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was concerned or afraid, Needed to learn more about it, Was proud, Encouraged him/her
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
That there is much more to military life than I thought. I also realized the importance of what my son was doing to protect our country. There was a respect for authority and those who belonged to the Navy also belonged to a family of others involved in Navy life. There was great support within the Naval community.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
Our relationship has grown stronger, This was a maturing experience, The Navy has a lot to offer, This was the best decision he/she could have made

Flag Pole

Hi Folks,

Thanks to my grandson I have updated my site with photos of the Flag Pole rising in Vermont. They are a little out of order but at least you can view the wonderful event finally. Enjoy along with some shots taken on our trip to the Grand Canyon. I'm learning slow but sure gals.

Blessings, Jan

Flag Pole

Thought you would all be interested in hearing about our vacation time in Vermont. Our son DJ just graduated from "C" school in June at the top of his class. Sorry I just can't help putting that in for we are so proud of him :o) Anyway, the highlight of our visit to our cabin in Vermont was putting up a flag pole. We have a small pole with the flag hanging from our side porch but DJ and his Dad decided it was time to show everyone how proud we are of our country and those who are serving in the… Continue
