Proud Swabby's Mom

Profile Information

About me:
I am most proud to be a mom and granny (a name my great grandmother was called, and I claimed it when I became a grandmother.). I have a sailor son who is divorced with two little girls that live in our area. I am also proud of a beautiful college grad daughter. This winter my husband and I are part-time Texans in the Rio Grande Valley as well as living in Illinois though I am an Iowan by birth and have black and gold Hawkeye blood in my veins!

I'm a retired teacher that now is busier than ever mostly involved with military support and patriotic organizations.
I am here to support or represent my:
Son/Daughter
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:
Find a group and get involved locally. The Marine Moms adopted me and helped me also start a Navy Families group. We are active members with the Patriot Guard Riders, too.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

The visit to Houston was great. The baby is getting so big, she is such a cutie and soo funny.

Just wanted to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year in 2010.

Sounds like your very busy. Glad you will be going to Texas and yes the Ft Hood stuff is insane, so scary. We will be going to Houston for Thanksgiving, my Grandbaby is 19 months old now and I can't wait to see her. Jon got back from his underway a few weeks ago and I am a happy camper now, I really missed him this time out. Purple Heart? What happened? Is everything ok?

My Dad , he's 97 is having some problems now, it's so hard watching him go thru all these changes. I cry about it but I am very thankful that we are close.

Do you know of anyone that is deployed right now that needs anything? Christmas is right around the corner. I can get out a package next week if you have a contact for me.

Take care and don't work too hard.
