Navy Dad in trouble.
Please take a moment to read this article. This was in my hometown newspaper this morning. The question I have is would we here in These United States let a visiting dad from another country die? I don't think so...

Susan Rhoads said… - Hi has been talking to his brother (Air Force in CA) he will be spending two weeks there over Christmas and his BD. I am glad he will be with his brother and wife. No, still have not heard from him. Also, found out he will be stationed in Pensacola after Dec. Hopefully, we will get an opportunity to visit him in the spring. We live in Tampa.
How about your family?
Thanks for asking and Merry Christmas. God Bless

- so, let me get this straight...you have a wedding, then what about their honeymoon? Then Christmas! What a month for your family!
What day is the wedding again? Will the couple come home to Indiana for awhile for the holidays??
Our sailor says he'll be able to make it home for the holidays too, so we are so excited! It's been a year since we last saw him!!
He also said..".he and Gramza have wings or something like that, every Monday night!"
So, it must be a favorite restaurant or something?? I don't get it exactly...
Good Luck Father of the Groom...I'll be thinking of ya!

Strong typhoon bears down on Japan
(AFP) – 12 hours ago
TOKYO — A powerful typhoon barrelled towards Japan on Tuesday, prompting warnings of strong winds and high waves just days after storms wreaked devastation in Southeast Asia.
Typhoon Melor, packing gusts of up to 252 kilometres (156 miles) per hour, was bearing down on Minami Daito island in Japan's far south and may hit the main island of Honshu on Thursday, the weather agency said.
The storm has winds of up to 180 kilometres per hour near its centre, it said.
"Minami Daito is expected to be hit by violent winds and rough seas with a sea swell of more than nine metres (30 feet) from late Tuesday to Wednesday noon," an official at the agency said.
"Residents should also brace themselves for heavy rain," he added.
Melor, which means jasmine in Malay, may make landfall on Kii Peninsula in western Honshu on Thursday and rip through the archipelago on a course similar to a 1959 killer typhoon that left thousands dead in Japan, the official said.
The latest typhoon is unlikely to inflict devastation on such a scale because Japanese houses are now better built and coastal areas are equipped with storm surge barriers, he said.

- Nice to see such a great turnout. You've done a nice job of promoting it and perhaps that's a good location for alot of folks.

carols_kitchen said… - Ah, these Navy weddings! Our son's was great and we had met his intended about 6 months before.
I'm now promoted (ha) to head cook, so that means more hours and insurance. So that is good.
Haven't been in Indiana since my Mom's memorial. Seems strange after years of going for weeks at a time.
Take care
