Thanks for sharing. Looks like a mug for dad's collection
Hi ladies,
I was looking for a Navy shirt for an upcoming event and found on cafepress.com lots of FC and ET items from cups to shirts such as the one below. They have them for dads, moms, nieces, etc...
Denise, I was in Round Rock on Wednesday -lovely area.
Tx Navy Mom, it was so nice to meet you and your family. Found out the next day that the parents of old high school friends live in your same town. I will be back in the area after the first of the year, we will have to get together if your schedule allows for it. In the meantime, you know where to find me if you have any questions.
BR549, Lori is a sweetheart. We've been together thru thick and thin or at least the beginning of this group almost four years ago!
Navyblumom - I know Lakeway! You may live in NM but I suspect once a Texan ...always a Texan.
@Mary, Glad to see you made it back to Austin safely. I know it was a long drive. It was a pleasure to meet you. Now I know when I have a question about my FC where to turn. Have a safe trip back to Atlanta and any time you make it back to Texas let me know. We would love to have you come visit.
BR549, where has everyone gone?? LoL I try to stop in from time to time. I see Barb, Vickyrun, Vickymed, Anti M and Mary here. Where have the rest of us seasoned Navy moms gone.
I am glad we have lots of new moms/wives and gfs joining.
Hi. Saw this on FB maybe you have seen it before but want to share it here, says how I feel about deployment;
“A ship in harbor is safe—but that is not what ships were built for.” - Admiral Grace Hopper
She had been on deployment 1 month now, many more to go.
