And also you know about the lady that makes the ribbons also. They are 6.30 or 6.50 per ribbon.  or group of four or more for 30.00 inc shipping.  If  any of you all want to order them let me know and I will order them for us.  She has a fb page @ unique memory makers.  Take a look.  I thought I could make them but could not find all the material to make them.  I know only 29 more days before I leave.  Just made my airlines reservation today.

I will get all the detail on the ribbons and get back with everyone.  I donot mind getting and ordering these ribbons for everyone. Got to go my son cat want all me to hold and talk to him now.  So I will close and good night.  See you all tomorrow. 

Hello everyone. Nice an cool in FL in the 40.   I have picked the color orange for our scarf color for div 55 & 56 because they are bother div.  I will be make them out of fleece.  If you would like one let me know.  I will try to get our div and ship number on them.  Hope everyone is doing well and keeping the letters going out still.  The next couple of weeks will be very tough for them. But its all most over now.  Starting to count down.  After this PIR on Friday we are 3rd one down.  Thats close.  I am starting to plan and get things together.  No mail today but there is all way tomorrow.  Love ya all

Hi

I like the scarf idea. I'll make mine with 03/055 on it. I'll wear it the whole trip so say Hi if ya see me!

Div 55 must of made there call Sunday.  I got my first phone from my son.  Its been six weeks.  He sounded soooooo happy. Kept saying next question mom.  Must of took notes from the other recruits as to what to say.  I asked how long we get to talk.  His answer was until RDC come in and say time to go.  We talked fast and I took notes to pass to his friends.  I was one happy happy mommy that day.  God answer my prayers.

Also if there is any one else out there that wants to put the order with me.  I will put it in for our div.
