Hi Mary M&M, welcome!  Looks like a quiet Saturday here but you found a great group.  My daughter is just starting prototype on Monday so I've not head any underway experience.  One of my friends says that their sailor is sometimes able to get texts when they're just off shore.  

How are you feeling about the underway?  Is this his first?

Comment by Mary m&m 1405ProtoBS on October 22, 2016 at 4:01pm
My name is Mary... My son is a nuke on the air craft carrier the USS Carl Vinson.... They are leaving for an underway soon looking for other parents to connect with....thx⚓️⚓️⚓️

B's Nuke, that is cute.

No sight-seeing in CO. We are packing 6 of us into my brother's Expedition. (We are a family of 9 siblings.) That should be enough adventure for anybody. The elderly aunt is traveling with other elders so it's just 2 brothers and 4 sisters on the drive. Another brother will meet us there, coming up from NM. I love spending time with my family so while it's a funeral, it will be nice to see everyone too. Prayers for safe travels and good weather, please!

Hi all TGIF!

NancyJo - sorry to hear about your Aunt's passing :(  My niece lives in Colorado and she has been posting some beautiful pictures of the area right now - hopefully you'll have some time to do a little sightseeing.

Patti - hahaha you know I love that picture lol!  Please ladies remember to get your mammograms!  It doesn't take much time and is so important - I can't stress it enough.  Do it for you :)

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on October 21, 2016 at 8:32am

Love the pic, PattiP. LOL Good reminder.

I'm heading to CO Springs this weekend for my aunt's funeral. I wish your bakery was still open, COTwin, I'd look you up if possible. I'll be with probably 4 of my siblings and an elderly aunt but I would have made the effort.

Hi everyone, glad the site is back. I do not post often but enjoy hearing about your families. I had the privilege of having my son and his family close by for 4 years, but now they are miles away. I look forward to the phone calls and the pictures of the grandbabies; they grow up so quickly that each picture seems to reflect a new child.

NancyJo - good for your son for re-upping (again).  Obviously he's found his niche and things are working well for him and his family - I get it though, it sure would be nice if you had those sweet grand-babies closer to your home. At least (for now) San Diego is a nice place to visit ;-)

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on October 20, 2016 at 1:21pm

B'sNuke, good news for your son!! So glad. That one had me worried so I'm sure you were worried too.

My nuke told me last night he is reenlisting again. At this point, he will have an 11 1/2 year commitment before he is through if he doesn't re-up again. This mama just wants him to come home but it won't be happening any time soon, if at all. Well, our kids go their own way, I guess. That's what we raise them to do. And, the navy has been good for him. It will be OK. I'm just a little bummed about it today. I really miss those grand-babies.
