3 of us in witness protection. If those happy smiling kids only knew.
My son just got home this afternoon. He said he got to watch them practice this morning. Now I feel like I should of visited him instead. See what happens next year.
I feel like I am neglecting my girls here. I am still involved in 2 BUDS classes. one is starting hellweek and the other is leaving great lakes to go to BUDS. These are my last 2 classes since my son isnt even a SEAL candidate any more. Its almost over
Son & DIL drove most of the night to get here. Only have them for 2 days so may not be on. He said the Blue Angels were on base for the Air Show this weekend. There were other neat planes that had come in too, a couple of the mustangs, like the one that crashed in Reno last week. He said it was really cool seeing all the different planes.
Here's a great deal I just heard about and you don't even have to be sleeping with the mailman to get it.....:)
Since Priority Mail® supplies are the packaging of choice for families and friends preparing care packages for service members overseas, the post office has created a “Mili-kit” based on the items most frequently requested by the military. This kit is available for free to military families.
The contents of the kit change from time to time. Right now, each kit contains:
Request your FREE Military Care package kit by calling 1-800-610-8734. Select your language (1 is English, 2 is Spanish). Select option 1 (it states it is for Express Mail®, Priority Mail or Global Express Guaranteed® products).
When you reach a live agent, request CAREKIT04, the “Military Kit. Allow 7-10 days for delivery. You can request up to 4 kits.
You will also be issued a customer ID number to make it easier for you to reorder supplies next time.
YOU CANNOT ORDER THIS KIT ONLINE – This Military kit is only available via the phone number.
Mail sent to APO and FPO addresses overseas require special customs forms. All mail addressed to military post offices overseas is subject to certain conditions or restrictions regarding content, preparation and handling.
The cost to mail the large flat-rate box to APO/FPO is $12.50.
Not raking yet, but the leaves are turning. boohoo
Holly I would like to go pumpkin picking next month. Maybe for now we can take a ride on the school bus. Tonight is back to school night, the kids get a etra 5 credits if their parents attend. Sounds like bribery to me.
I was just thinking the same thing...and it's not because we're all raking leave yet!!
