It is hard to keep everyone straight! I cannot wait to hear all about everyone who is going to see their sailor soon!
Also hope Janie is better and that Angie will have a good anniversary dinner!
Still cold and rainy here in Maine.

Ang... Chris said he went to Savannah on Saturday with his friends and said it was beautiful. He told me the waterfront was the same as Newport, RI (very close by) but more beautiful. On a side note, if I had a girl I would have named her Savannah.. I just love that name.....

Kelly, let me know your address, I've had no takers on the kitty's so, looks like I could send you 4 of them....lol...YES, I felt the same way at the airport and I thought I'd EXPLODE before he got up that escalader!!!! Then, I wanted to shout!!!! I think I told yall some lady videoed us hugging and then a man came over immediately to C and talked to him and Thanked him, he was a retired Navy man...
Thank-you for the Anniversary wishes, yes, it's a milestone...I tease him about trying to figure out, if it's been a curse or a blessing...It's def. been a BLESSING with a few hard lessons along the way but, we're not quitters!! You have to work at it daily but, couldn't imagine my life without him...and GOD BLESSED us with 2 beautiful children to share it with...what more can I say? I AM BLESSED.....love you Ladies....

A very bad part of having gone off without my computer is that I could not email my Sailor. I had his Auntie tell him by email what had happened so that eased me a little. It is so good to be able to email! Remember BC---ahhhhghh! I'm going to write him now and will hope for an email tomorrow.

Remember all--my Sailor is not my son--I m just as proud and involved as if he were...and he is wonderful to me. It is very good to be home and I am touched that I was missed. We all share a special kind of friendship! I wait today by the sea for my friend to be free and am sending you all hopes for a smooth safe day. Difficult times we live in.

Adm60- glad your bad. We have been worried about you. Can you imagine your son is part of history. That is so great. WOW. It is something he will tell his grandchildren.
Ang....Happy Anniversary. 25 years is a milestone.
Jan... The new job must be tiring you out..lol havent heard from you in a bit. Hope all is well...
Janie...I am sooooo excited for you. The aniticipation of her coming home is going to drive you nuts. When Chris finally came home I waited at the airport for him and it was a feeling I could never describe .when i laid eyes on him in his dress blues. WOW overwhelming feelings of happiness, pride and love. Its a great feeling.

Hope today you feel better Janie.

Hello all and I am wishing for a smooth day for all. I went back to Ct. on Sunday to the hospice--without my computer! My dear friend must wait yet longer to be free though she had not waked for many days.
Got an email from my sailor saying he was "all good" and that it had been an interesting few days.
Drove home yesterday and am glad to be here. Getting caught up on the news and correspondence, laundry and chores also finished. I missed being here on N4M--I could read messages on my tiny phone but could not write anything.
Hey! Spring really is coming to Maine, though gray and cold today. Stay strong.
