Navymom2013 you are so funny. Poor guy is going to want the truck even more now! Haha. Do you text? Can you text him? I'm always texting mine. Just to let him know I love him. Praying for him. Hope he is having a great day. He answers when he can. I'll catch him on FaceTime Every once in a while and that just feels my heart. I get to see him real time!! Sometimes I call him. He doesn't call much but I'm ok with that bcause we text often. And boy his I love you too mom goes a long way in my book ;). I love that boy!
Strawberries at that price sound great!
Mrsb you make your own jam? Yummy. I was never any good at cooking so it never ceases to amaze me when my kids say they want me to make the yummy dinners they grew up with me making??!! Seriously? Haha I love them all so much.
S Oregon mom thank you for the blessings.

navymom2013, 5.99 a flat? Geeze, I wish I was there!! The strawberries out here don't taste like anything yet and they are never that inexpensive! I made the mistake of spoiling all my kids-they won't eat any jam but the strawberry jam I make every year. Anyway, sounds like a fun time you had yesterday! :)
I am also hesitant to call my son; I know radio has started and he's busy with that and I don't want to interrupt. He did say that it's a great class and he's learning a lot and that it's very cool!

I guess I will call my son today, It is raining here and cooling down and I miss that guy. He never calls me anymore, he waits for me to call him and I never know when he isn't busy or testing. I am doing income tax and very busy but I always have time for him. I guess he getting along OK because I sure would be hearing from him if he were not. That is when we hear from our kids the most, you know. LOL Keep saying prayers, girls! Our sailors can always use them. Yesterday was free for all military day at the Plant City Strawberry Festival and I had the most fun just saying thank you to everyone that served. Even the cows had flags on them at the steer show. My son is itching for a new Ford truck and I took pictures of myself inside one of those Raptors he wants and with the hood up. I am sending him an email with the pictures saying I got one, as a joke. It is a good thing he has a good sense of humor. Strawberries $5.99 a flat YUM!
