Mark,
You and your wife must be stronge. Having two sons so far away from home. And both different directions. Hope the post office gives you a deal in mailing packages. i know that your son in Atsugi will not be able to help, but it still would be nice if the your son adn Ginger's son could meet. Just them knowing that you and Ginger are sharing on Navy Moms and Dad - will be a comfort. Have good weekend. Ginger - I will light a green candle for healing for you son. Have a nice evning TLynn

I know this will sound funny. But does he need better support in his shoes? My son too, has had some problmes iwth his knees. The only treatment he got was to take some pills. We sent him some joint vitmains. And I was trying to find those support pads for his shoes. He stated it helped. But we have not heard anymore complains from our son. ( He wouldn't complain if he cut his finger off) Our son LOVES PT too. Good luck and keep us posted on how he does. Hey - doesn't Navy Dad's son work in the clinic at Atsugi? Maybe he would have some advice. Anti M - your words are needed. Good Day is wish for all TLynn

Good - let us know if you received plenty of rain. Rain that will quiet the fires - clean the air and the sound of it's gentle drumming on your roof give you and yours a restful nights sleep. My wish for you. TLynn

Good Morning Everyone,
Was watching the news about CA fires. Val, it said it was moving. I'm not sure exactly where you are. But I hope not in the path of that fire. Keep us posted on the situation. Have fingers -toes - knees - eyes crossed for your safety. Just sharing - as o fnow - 24 Monarch Butterflies have successflu hatched and been released. Still have two in a crysalsi form and one caterpillar eating. Heard from my son. Fianlly the entire crew is having a break from their 14 to 16 hour days. They ran out of paint. So with no paint - can't paint the ship. So I asked if he might get to take some day sight seeing trips - he only talked about doing laundry and sleeping. Real excitment there. Need to start some simple crank duty here - everyone a good day :). TLynn

LOL, no, mink blankets aren't mink, not even faux fur. They're plush, like your favorite stuffed toy, and come in many colors and designs. They run small, so a queen is better suited for a double and so on.

Oh - toys - leather goods too. Think I should make a list for Alex.
Thanks for the shopping ideas.

Oh, Sasebo can get cold, but Yoko is colder, I promise. The mink blankets are nice, we're still using ours. We have a spare one stored for when it finally wears out!
Lots of wives would take space A hops to Korea for shopping trips. Clothing, leather goods, toys, handmade items, mink blankets...all super cheap and some good bargains if they look.

Good Morning :)
Have enjoyed the sharing. But about Sesabo - my sailor said he was so cold, that only those Mink blankets would keep him warm at night. He stated when he first arrived last Ocotober, the ship's first outing (with him aborad) was to Korea and the crew all told him to have money to buy himself a Mink blanket. Commerical Christmas celebrated in Japan. Sometimes that feel like here too. Last year Alex, worked extra hours for his shipmates who are married -so they could be home. His Petty Office had him over for Christmas. But this year he is hoping to get time off - his brother is going to Japan to be with him. So I am crossing fingers - toes - knees - eyes for all of us that our sailors get their needed time off. Oh - sharing , as of now - 14 Monarch Buterflies have hatched. 9 have already been releasted to migrate. Have a good :) TLynn
