Proud mom of a sailor!
Latest Activity
We make & mail pillowcases to our sailors and other deployed branches of the military.
As of 12-18-09, we have made/given out 1985 pillowcases since mid January 2009!
We have sent to the Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard & National Guard.
I produced a cookbook for my church in 1993. I typed the whole thing on a typewriter. So, let's talk in 2010 about that.
Dori, I know you're kidding and as Maryellen confirmed, the others do too.
And good thing you told me to keep the grubby mitts…
DC- we all know your kidding, In this day and age if we can't have alittle fun and poke at each other what else can we do.
Sue I think HAE should have there own cook book, the ships do them why can't we.
Ah Dori, you picked up on that "possessed" bit. haha. I couldn't get this close to 2000 and not make it. haha. I am a driven person.
Good to know about the MEU deployments. So as soon as we get the word, we'll get them out.
Dori, thanks for explai…
sorry, Sue. MEU is Marine Expaditionary Unit. Thanks!! I think you're right about the busy part. So many of our loved ones -- may they all have the most blessed holidays this year and return to us safely next.
Hi Natalie, we would love your help! I think we will be busy this next year. And what does MEU mean? I am assuming deployment?
Thanks, Maryellen!! will do on the instructions and son. Looking forward to it.
Natalie, Welcome Aboard, Look at the top of the page for the instructions for the pillowcases. We could always use the help. We will keep your son in our prayes let us know when he gets deployed.

A Sailor's Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, the ship was out steaming,
Sailors stood watch while others were dreaming.
They lived in a crowd with racks tight and small,
in a 80-man berthing, cramped one and all.
I had come down the stack with presents to give,
And to see inside just who might perhaps live.
I looked all about, a strange sight did I see,
No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stockings were hung, shined boots close at hand,
On the bulkhead hung pictures of a far distant land.
They… Continue

More Tiger Answers
Hi all,
I had hoped to refer you the Lincoln website and the Tiger link, but it is gone. Here are a few basics:
who can't go: spouses, boy/girlfriends, significate others-Navy doesn't want relations on the ship. It is still a fully functionable ship and the sailors have a job to do.
Who can go: parents, step parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, extended family. It is based on available spots, and health. First come, first served, then health issues are the deciding factor. I met a couple o… Continue

Tiger Cruise explained
Hi all,
I've gotten many comments and I appreciate that. My husband went to Virginia Beach today to see our son, so I have been busy getting him ready for his trip.
A tiger cruise is when the Navy allows civilans to ride the aircraft carrier from Hawaii to San Diego or Everett, Washington. I would imagine that the Atlantic fleet does the same. You live where the sailors live, in other words, there aren't guest quarters. And yes, I did ask my son that question. He laughed pretty hard.
It is an… Continue

Tiger Cruise
Hi all,
I am new to this site. It is inspiring to read about other boys and girls (really young men and women). My husband and I have just returned from the Tiger Cruise aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. We flew to Hawaii on 10-1 and set sail for San Diego on 10-3. What an adventure and I would encourage anyone else to take it if they can! It was an experience of a lifetime. We lived as the sailors do and boy, it is hard work!

Gloria "Corpsman's Mom" said… - Sue - yes, finally found your page - not sure though what you are doing - Stockings???? Well if you are looking for a Corpsman to send something to I do know of a few who are deployed in Afghanistan. One in particular, this is his third deployment - poor Mom - how much can one Mom handle??? She is holding up though. Thank you for inviting me to join your group.

- Sue - Thank you. Yes, my son is stationed in San Diego. I thought maybe you made individual cases. You are doing a wonderful thing - so much appreciated!!!! Am in the middle of baking cookies to send to a lonely Sailor overseas (trying not to eat them as I go along lol). I will check out HAE - is it just by the initials? Do not know what this standsfor. Thank you for taking time out to respond to me I know you are quite busy (yes an understatement for you lol).

Kate said… - Sue,
I have Stacy's address:
Stacy Romena
1524 Bedford Rd. #1124
Bedford, Tx 76021
If you could send her a pillow-case, that would be great. We plan on having cards and gifts for her when she gets back to Texas.
By the way, how do I order 2 pillow cases? Please let me know.
Thank you,
Kate
