good morning my girlies! hot and humid in the Bluff City.
it's funny that of all people i end up with the responsibility of anyone's checkbook...my dear husband is so patient with me when he says "Darlin' do you have any debit receipts in your purse?" i'll dig around and usually come up with 4 or 5!
Diane-found this link on the Bush mommas page
Diane-can't wait to see the pic!!! Sailor Son posted on the Bush facebook page that he can't wait to join them!!!
yep i got grandmaw balanced to the PENNY!!! don't know how...but i got it done!!!
Wow lots of reading to get caught up. I sure miss my daily dose of you wonderful fun moms. you always brighten my day.
Diane, Your son should get a very nice certificate. Try to get him to send it home before it gets rinkled. I had my Husbands framed and we still have it on our wall. A friend of mine is 89 and was a prisoner of war in WW2 and he carries his "shellback card" in his wallet still today (cant read it well though). Congrats to him.
I purchased "Proud Navy Mom Ribbon" (for PIR) and If I can find the roll, I will mail you some. I had a piece hanging from my mirror (until I chased that hit & Run driver and had to take it down in case that's what he remembered about my car), and some around a scrunchy to pull my hair back. I'll let you know if I find where I put it.
