Vicki, just wanted to let you know that I sold a couple of properties the last 3 weeks - a triplex in Cupertino and a duplex in Sunnyvale. Now we can stop spending our sons' inheritance. How are you doing? How is your son doing?

Vicki: WOW !+!+!+!+!+! HOW ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. Congratulations to Peter...How proud you must be...I can feel it coming across the screen of the computer :)! He's worked hard, he's trained well, he's made the right decisions, he's turned into a terrific adult and he deserves everything good that comes his way.....and you raised one helluva a kid! Congratulations to you, too.

Vicki: It's always so hard to see them go, isn't it?!?!? I've already made my reservations for Virginia. I'm leaving on the 23rd...cannot wait to see that kid! Cory is a gunners-mate and assigned to a Seal Unit. He's land based, not fleet. He arrived back in Virginia from Africa last Thursday after being gone for 7 weeks....during which time there was no (ZERO) communication home. That was pretty hard, it was such a long time! Keep me posted on Peter.

Dear Vicki,
My son is not quite to Supply School yet. He reports for OCS next month. I am still very new to this form of communicating and haven't had the time to fully explore N4M. Thank you for the Supply School information. I learn so much every time I visit this web site.

Vicki: Hello!!! I read your post on the AZ page. Thank you, it's going to be so good to see that child/sailor of mine again. I just can't wait to get to Virginia. I know you had a great 4th with Peter able to be home. How long does he get to stay?

Dear Vicki,
My son is going to OCS and then will do Supply. This is all so new to me. I would love to pick your brain and keep in touch. I'm proud, nervous and excited... all at once.

Hi, Vicki.
I have been a Realtor for 33 years (this is not a misprint). www.beasines.com
This year, I have been working hard, not making any money and spending my kids' inheritance.
My LTJG said, "Go ahead, spend away. I have a career with the Navy or in the energy field."
My younger son said, "Well, if my brother does not care, please spend his half FIRST."
I taking this time to get my broker's license. Will talk shop later. Will check out your site and keep you in mind in case anyone is going to Phoenix. I can also pass you name to other agents in my company (over 1000 throughout the San Francisco Bay Area).
Regards, B.

Hey Vicki...I love your pictures. My son is 28, he'll graduate from OCS in two weeks and is going to supply school soon after July 4. Breaking up sucks...to put it in the vernacular. I don't know how old your son is, but once he gets over it...he'll have no problems finding another girlfriend....look at him in is uniform....My Gosh! He's got a lot ahead of him and he's just getting started....he's got the world open to him. Sometimes it harder on the moms. I know you know everything works out for the best!!! Enjoy your time with him in June. Sincerely Barbara

Hey There
I just read your posting , James said the same thing to me this morning about being stuck in GA until October, maybe that could be a good thing, my son is on the softball team also, (Marines kicked the Navy butts ouch) does Peter know who James is yet? I forgot your last name so James doesn't know who Peter is since they don't use first names, James says they have lots of homework and tests, at least he isn't bored anymore lol
takecare ttys Dee
