Information
As our recruits get furthur into bootcamp I thought that maybe some of the Moms in Division 818 PIR 9/2 would like to get more specific information. I'm brand new at this but thought I'd try and maybe some more knowledgable Mom's will help us.

Lydia, don't be expecting too much of that "hot and humid"--it's getting cold in FL, too!!
Roxy's was given to Jan when her "mom" died because no one else in the family was into horses. Well, Jan finally got a horse from her sister that she has wanted for years--as a Christmas present!! Now she has him to work and she doesn't have time to work Roxy. It's been THIRTY YEARS this fall since I was on a horthey even though I rode in horse shows (timed events) while I was a teenager and used the horses rounding up the cattle. So this may get interesting!!! But I'm excited!!! I was just thinking last month that maybe riding hortheys would help my groin muscle with the right kind of exercise to finish healing--Isn't God GREAT, He heard my thoughts and answered them!!!! If all goes well, she said we may just be able to take her.........Yeah!!!!!
Well, 8 days from picking up W in P'cola on my way home.......
Have a great Hump-day tomorrow!!!

Trisha - not selfish.. you are a Navy mamma and want that proud moment of finding and hugging her right then and there.... I have never had that experience of course but I look at pictures and I cry just thinking about it... I dont blame you! Of course I can imagine how she is anxious also.. She sure loves her mamma.... of course her mamma sure loves her!

S once said something about my goats' names--Dottie Jean, Maggie Mae, Gracie Lou, Dixie Leigh--"those are such Southern names", to which Joe answered, "Well, where do you think you are?????" Hahahaha!!!! For some strange reason, every time I think "Dottie Jean", I think of Marilyn Monroe......I know, I'm weird!!!!
Oh, kk!!! Looks like I and going to start riding hortheys again!!!!!!! I'm so exited!! Her name is Roxy and it's a complicated tale, but she may wind up being mine in the long run and in the short, I get to start working her!!!
Got to go to work tomorrow.......Have a great week, my Angel Warrior sisters!!!

Oh Trisha, so sorry to hear that:( Do you mean that her ship is heading to Israel? I hope not. Maybe it is just a temporary thing, and they will head back home soon. I know you must going crazy waiting to hear some news. I pray that it will be soon.
My son deployed in Oct. so we will be missing him for sure:( First time he won't be home at Christmas. But something I need to understand and get used to.
Hope you hear something soon
