Hi Ladies One more day of work for me. Weekends are crazy for me. Missed you all.
Lydia I'm thinking positive and sending good karma your way. I've got to meet you.
I've been trying to catch up and will certainly be praying for our injured recruit.
Trisha Thank you for the awesome pictures. It's funny how they make you feel closer to our recruits just seeing the pictures.

Hi there, Just a tip about the newpaper articles..my son thanked me for sending him articles about the oil/Gulf & Red Sox but said that they were not allower to get newspaper clippings. I would suggest copying the article on plain white paper & sending it that way. He didn't say he got in trouble, just that it was not allowed.

Well he is not a big sports person... so this is going to be kind of hard to find stuff.

Hi kimbob How about sports articles from the newspaper if he has a favorite team. I sent my son an article from the People Magazine about a girl who was preying on military men. She married 19 or some crazy number then took their money. She certainly was far from the prettiest girl I've ever seen (to put it nicely and it had a picture of her in the article) but her first husband said she was a real charmer I told my son to be careful and look out for her. I WAS HOPING TO GET A LAUGH OUT OF HIM. hOPE IT WORKED. Anyway I'm sure anything would be appreciated. Anything different from what they are doing on a daily basis. Sports News Whatever
