Dorthee, so glad you had a so so good time in Norfolk. Just seeing your son was enough I am sure. Have a great time with your son when he gets home. I won't see mine for almost a year now, going out to sea soon.
Michelle enjoy your sons homecoming as well. I wish I could be in Hawaii to see mine off but I can't. I hope to go see him there next year.

Michelle, you must be looking forward to your son's homecoming! Our time in Norfolk was limited and weather kinda junk, so we didn't sightsee. Did get to tour the Truman and that was an awesome experience. My son getting new orders, will be leaving the Truman later this year but still staying Norfolk.

Hi everyone - we have groups here too that feed the feral cats in different areas. What I like is that they also trap them, take them to the Humane Society to get fixed and then re-release them into the same colony, keeping the population in check and hopefully eventually decreasing its numbers. I admire that. Daysleeper's, I sure understand your frustration with the neighbor. Much as I like cats, I wouldn't want a house full of them right next to us, if they're allowed outdoors.
Marcy - cool you had your son with you : ) Mine will be coming home for a bit end of this month, I can't wait!

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend. I did. We went camping and my sailor was home and he went with us. It was nice have him all to myself. It has been busy here. I started back to school for the summer Anatomy and Physiology 2. Man it is kicking my butt too. Had a test the other day and got a D on it. Not happy about that. My sailor went home on Tuesday and so I was bummed for a couple of days.
Daysleeper, we used to have couple that took in every stray possible. Then of course the babies came. They would get into the garbage and make everyone mad. I am a cat lover but there comes a point when you can't take care of all them. So happy they went to the shelter though, they will find good homes for them.

Michelle, I have only ever driven by it but my nephew and brother in law were there a couple of weekends ago and they said it is beautiful. I have heard it is a really nice place. I hear ya on sending the car down. I am still trying to get my sailor to get his car to Hawaii instead of in my driveway. Although, now he can use it when he comes back. Needs inspected though and that will be done that friday he comes home. Already have an appointment for it. Going to try and get it washed for him too. It is going to rain everyday from now until next Thursday, so that may not happen. So he will be home in 6 days too. Oh will have to take his car to Norfolk to have it shipped out. So we maybe making a trip to Norfolk sometime too. I have a cousin that lives down there, so maybe we can stop and see her while we are there. If not it will be 7 hours down and 7 hours back. Now that will be a long day.

Michelle, that is what probably happened, We sent you the rain and you guys sent us the sunshine. It did rain yesterday a little in the evening but other than that it has been beautiful. It was a gorgeous day today, in the 70's low ones but will take it. I hope you all had a great day today.

Happy Mothers Day to all of you. I am talking to my Airman right now on skype. Talked to my sailor earlier. I hope you all heard from your sailors today as well.

Ditto Michelle, and getting lots of that rain, last night was nuts. Super windy, too. Daysleeper, we're on the windward side of Oahu also. It was so windy, Enchanted Lake had whitecaps! You probably could have surfed it, haha..

Are the Islands close or are they really far apart? I know silly question but when you look on a map they look a little close together. Just wondering because of the weird weather you are having down there. I guess it would be like here, in one town they can be getting really bad storm and just over the hill nothing. It is sunny here today, so thanks to whoever sent it to us. It is beautiful out. A little chilly but at least the sun is shining.

If you guys need rain, we here in PA would like to send some. Hey here an idea, you send some sunshine and we will send some rain, LOL.
