Hi All,
Just checking in on how every one is doing.
Well I have an update. That Christmas package I mailed to my granddaughter could not be delivered. So its on its way back on a ship. It will arrive in 3 months. Then I will put the correct address on it again and mail again. So she will actually have Christmas in April. Turns out I left off the numbers of the unit. So Moms - Double check address and any details.
Wish all a great New Year hugs

Gervasi Vineyard is where my son works. Check it out!
Youngest son is hanging in their with new meds. trying to gain some weight, wish I had that problem! Just went to 14 hours a day at work, Doctor is talking about putting him on disability :(
Ex-Sailor is doing well, had some break throughs in therapy. Not news to us but therapist says they have to see it and own it, we can't do it for her. She's working again, Security of course!
Blondie Jr. is back to work. Plus owns her own baking company. Going strong this time of year, events, private parties.... PLUS hubby and 2 children, How does she find the time and energy?! Everyone just points to me. LOL
My Dad has been in and out of hospitals all of Nov. and Dec. so taking up alot of our time. Hubby taking care of his house/yard/mail, me running to doctors and hospitals....He's Now in Rehab Center. Hoping things will get better. 1st hospital gave him 2 pints of blood a day and then sent him home on 3rd day. 5 days later, went to a different hospital and I TOLD them Find the Problem! after another 6 pints of blood in 3 days and no food for 3 day (he's diabetic too!) I was HOT...RED HOT. For the First time ever I was RUDE and meant to be!

is he attached to the carrier? my son is there but I send all his mail to the ship right now. However according to the ships ombudsman, they don't need the 4 digits anymore. the MPS did away with them, but they suggested using their box number.
