that's about the size of the one i just took to Grandmaw....i figure she'll have it all gone by tomorrow!
good morning my girlies!!
joshmom, Poppa left some of his cash at one of the casinos : ( but usually does pretty good so he's still ahead! no early retirement here....maybe next time! several years ago our yard guy won 2.5 million....he was leaving Vegas and took one last "go" at a slot machine...sad to say most of his $$$ is gone hence "the lawn service".
Sherrill....woo hoo PREPAREDNESS!!!!
oh forgot....2 yrs. ago today Sailor Son was sworn in at GL. told him if he were home i wouldn't bake him a Navy birthday cake but a Navy birthday pie....oh my pie-lovin' boy!!!! Peach pie!!!!
Good morning my girlies!!! woo hoo Poppa Smurf comes home from Vegas today!!!!
Sailor Son called again! i am getting to "like" this being in the yards although he can call us easier than we can call him.....tight tight security where the boat is parked. long days? well that's what he thought and that was the way it was planned....his team was finished in TWO hours!!!! did i tell you that they are removing all the air-tight/water-tight doors? yep they got so many off and down where the contractors are supposed to pick them up....problem is....contractors can't keep up with the Navy guys and gals! "SLOW DOWN" the contractors are yelling...."let us catch up"!!!
he also said he carried two hundred pound doors up two flights of steps, down another flight and then across the hanger bay....he ought to be pretty "ripped" after this....hehehehehehe
Sherrill, fingers crossed "duty driver" is unavailable!!!
Good evening my girlies!!! looks like life is sailing along nicely for you : )
talked to Sailor Son yesterday....carrier is in the yards. life is chugging along for him.
MNM - WooHoo.....Jimmy Buffett.....son coming home with girlfriend....getting to celebrate his birthday too.....just doesn't get any better than that!!!! Happy Dance Happy Dance!
Good Morning!
Great to hear Sailors are coming home on leave and I'm doing the Happy Dance that Chris26mom's Sailor got his "dream orders" YEAH!
Sherrill & MNM - keeping your Sailors in my prayers that someday they too will be all healed up like Joyce's son.
Enjoy the day ladies!
marine navy mom: Chris is doing great with his shoulder. One year later and it seems to have healed really well. He does all his push ups without problem. How is your daughter doing with her ankle?
