Good Morning!! Wow! We have Thunder Snow here, but have never heard of anyone being hit by lightning this time of year! Summer is a whole different ball of wax though. Thankful that both sailors will be okay!
Spoke with Jessi, yesterday, both she and Abi have the crud! I was in town and had called to see about going for coffee. So I took her a bunch of goodies to help her feel better! Hank has had his head cold for what seems like forever. I wish he would get to the Dr, it is turning on him.
Reds- I heard this morning about the snow and accidents near Amarillo... Hope you were not near any of that mess!
Today is my Mom's 85th birthday! She is something else. A real pioneering spirit. She is the only woman I know who can take a 4lb ham and feed 9 people 5 meals with it!! She is simply amazing!!
Have a good one today!

Good Saturday! We have a light cover of snow and chilly temps today, in fact we have already hit our high of 20 today. I think that B picked up on my vibes yesterday, he called us early last evening! Sounds like he has gotten his new rate and married pay. That will sure help them! He is working hard and staying positive.
MNM- So good to hear that your daughter is off medical hold and is doing her thing again!! Wish it happens for B soon!!
Sherrill- Go for that bit off pampering today, you deserve it! Sounds like everything is going to be beautiful!! Give the Bride and Groom our very best wishes!!
kk- You can call me CC, it is what all of the others call me it sure makes it easier than typing it all out. Plus it keeps things less confusing because there are 2 Connie's!! Ha!
la/wa7- Welcome Aboard!!
Joshmom and SouthMississippiMom- Always good to hear from you!!
Have a great day everyone!

Sherrill-that's awesome about your sons shipmate coming to the wedding. That will make the wedding even more perfect. So true about strong ties. My dad served in the Navy from 1947-51 and 16 years ago he found out about his ships annual reunion. Him & mom haven't missed a one yet. It's the highlight of my dads year. He was fortunate enough to meet a shipmate a couple of years ago. It was this mans first time at the reunion and he was telling a story about the funniest man on ship, long story short, he was talking about my dad who was sitting across the table from him. Needless to say those two had a wonderful time reminiscing!
Enjoy the wedding hope all goes perfectly!

My son has just become a sailor. Passed Battlestations on Tuesday. PIR is Feb.17. I am so proud of him. He will be going to A school in Pensacola, Florida. His rating will be ATO (I guess this is the proper way to say his job...still learning.)
I am not sure what an ATO does. Is there someone who could point me in the right direction in order to find info about ATO? Thanks!

Happy Friday Everyone!
Ole man winter is showing his face this morning here with a light dusting of snow.
kk - my son is ATI also. He started his ATT class two weeks ago. It took him almost 4 weeks to class up. So far he really likes it. Good luck to your son. If you have any questions these ladies can help you. They really know their stuff.

Good Morning Girls! Hey there KK! - Good to know your son is on his way now!! B is still in limbo at this time... Not sure where things will lead him at this point, haven't heard from him lately. Sure have had him on our minds!
Hope you all have a great Friday!

Morning Gals! Cindy, I hope you had a great snow day!
MNM- We have had snow and it was a nice amount but it came with cold temps as well. We are supposed to have quite a bit more sunshine today, but the highs only in the mid 30's, last night was just into the single digits. The snowiest months for us are Feb and March...
Have a good day all!!
