good morning my girlies!
Sherrill, oh no! been there...done that! our little Sissy had to have surgery at age 5 for congenital hip dislocation. she was in a cast from under her arms to her toes and had a horrible reaction. she had to go back into surgery and the cast replaced....it was a looooong hot Summer for our baby girl.
Hope your son continues to improve and have fun fun fun antiquing!
well i am sad and trying so hard to shake my mistake of erasing all the messages on the answering machine that we had saved from our Sailor. the first one was the surprise that he had recorded right before he left to go to boot camp. yeah that one....we couldn't bare to listen to it....the slight "catch" in his voice when he said he loves us. but the others were funny....those "helloooooo any one home?" were all the touch of the "play" button when we missed him.
when the power would go out and we had to reset the answering machine it would default and start to play the one....that would make us cry. we would jump hurdles to get back to the machine to hit stop as quickly as we could.

Sherrill-When I am feeling down in the dumps, you post an email that picks my spirits up. I love hearing about your life. How do I get a life like yours? (smile) My Sailor son graduates from C school in late October. He is at Whidbey right now, but will be going to Jacksonville after graduation. I secretly wish that he was staying at Whidbey for home base. I have a condo in Vancouver, WA. I will be moving there in June. I am in CA working until then. If they (son and wife) were in Whidbey, at least they would be closer to me and I could see them more often. Jacksonville is nice, however. South Florida is home for me, so I will visit family and my kids when I come to Florida.
Sailor son will be taking test for E4 soon...I think. Keep him in your prayers.
Have a great week end everyone.

chopsmom you are so right about the acronyms. My son and his uncle (retired Army) had a similar conversation at Christmas. Definitely sounded like they were speaking another language.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Busy day tomorrow with a car show in the morning then a Gas Guzzler Run with our Mustang Club in the afternoon.

Happy Friday! It's High School Homecoming day in my little town. Parade, chili supper and then football.....oh yeah it's gonna be a good day!
Chopsmom - YeeHaw for that west coast adventure! Good luck to your son in C school and I hope he enjoys San Diego.
Hope you all have a great day!
