Profile Information
- About me:
- I am a mother of 3 sons. My 2nd born is the one who is in the Navy. In the fall of 2009, I have been married to my husband for 23 years. Activities I enjoy are Basket weaving, card making, traveling when I get the chance, photography, white water rafting, canoeing, floating rivers on a tube, swimming, some sewing (quilting), scrapbooking, music, dancing, chatting, walks, bird watching, and people watching. I have a variety of music I love, however I am not into heavy metal or rap music. I listen to mostly new age country, some contomporary christian, and some of the modern stuff my kids listen to. I love the music I grew up on and some older stuff too. (50's, 60's, 70's, 80's) I do not watch t.v. I do enjoy watching movies from time to time, weather its at a theater or at home....those types of movies would include Comedy, high action packed or sex/love stories.

Toni (Ship 12 Div 086) said… - Hi,
You can meet your son at the USO at the airport and then get a security pass at the gate and go in with them to wait for their flight. That is what we will be doing too.

TroubleonFire said… - Hi gentlewinds, how are you doing? I'm fine been real busy writing out 250 christmas cards, I have 100 done, have another 150 to go. I see you have three sons, I do as well, but my youngest is the one in the Navy and he's 23. He is stationed in Virginia on the Carl Vinson and an ABF. Your son going to Pcola for A school? That is about an 8 hour drive from where I live in Florida. What is his job? He will really like the weather here, its really nice right now. Let you go for now, talk to you soon. T

judi (ship 12, div 376) said… - hi,
my name is judi, from new jersey. i too have a son in 376, danny. the package came with the letter that was typed with a little handwritten message from my sailor with his grad date on it. it had a brochure with hotels and stuff. it said only four per grad, dont know that there is actual tickets, just that your sailor gives a list of four people and they have to have valid I.D. not sure where we are staying yet, hopefully close.
