Beautiful picture, Ingrid.
Happy Memorial Day everybody, we can be thankful to our children even more today for what they're doing.
My husband arrived back from WA on a flight this morning. He said it was very hard saying goodbye to Justin and leaving him there. He got choked up. Justin was fine, he just smiled. Mike said the room is very nice that it's pretty big and he doesn't have a roommate now just shares a common bathroom with another guy. I'm hoping they got Justin's room fixed. I guess there is no airconditioning there and the heat wouldn't shut off. It was horribly hot. Justin kept the hotel room as long as he could today. He reports for duty (or whatever) tomorrow at 7am. His recliner was broken as was the tv. But hopefully the inspector takes care of it. He did take his own HDTV out there though. They'd taken loads of pictures on the trip and a bunch were lost unfortunately. Well that's the update on our sailor.

Justin and my husband arrived in Whigdby Island, WA yesterday. They'd been driving there since last Saturday. They stopped in AZ to see my hubby's cousin for a few hrs then they stopped northern AZ to see hubby's brother and sis in law for a few hrs. Then onward they went. They stopped in SanDiego to see Justin's 2nd cousin whose stationed there with the Navy and shipping out this weekend. Did sightseeing all along the way. Then they stopped in northern WA state to see hubby's cousin at the restaurant he owns that he's not seen in approx 20yrs. This restaurant was right on the water with orca whales outside swimming as they dined-how cool! Justin checked in yesterday and doesn't have to report until Tuesday morn. Mike will prob leave tomorrow night on the redeye flight back home because the flights Monday look too full (we fly free but it's standby). I'm sure Mike will experience (and maybe Justin too) the emotions that I did when they left since Justin will now be all alone once again. None of his buddies got shipped to WA. He intends to fly to SAN for weekends sometime to see 2 of his buddies that got shipped there (Justin flys free under my pass until he turns age 24). The Navy Lodge hotel where they're staying, Mike said, is very plush and $60 per night. This has been a great bonding trip for the 2 of them, I'm sure. They took over 200 pictures along the way and saw many things. Hubby was welcomed to WA state by getting a speeding ticket 10 mph over. He was angry because everybody was passing him like he was sitting still and he was nice to the officer but told him it was because he wasn't from WA that he pulled him over because he knew he couldn't contest it.

Debi-take care of your little one and God speed on her recovery. Awful hard for a parent to take when their children are sick.

Beth, my goodness you have 2 children in the military too. I see lots of mommas with that going on. Sign of our economic times? Our 14 yr old says she's going to want to go into the Navy or Air Force. I told her it'd kill me to have 2 kids gone but the choice, of course, will be up to her when the time comes.
