Please,
I need some good thoughts. Southern Illinois was hit bad with 90 mph straight winds or tornado. In the news you might hear the city of Carbondale and the SIU Campus. Many smaller towns were hit too. We have many family members and friends living throught the area - only have reach two by cell phones - and they are ok, but shared it is so bad there. Your positive thoughts are needed - please send them. And do I share this with my sailor? He has a pseical cousin he is so close too. And that cousin just came down with a form of cancer. Please share ideas.. Sorry to put up bad news - just need advice. T-Lynn

Good Evening !
I was going to wait to wish all of you ( even Navy Dad) Happy Mother's Day. But I received a post card from my son wishing me a Happy Mother's Day - so I just had to get on and share. That card made my day! Hope all of you will have a joyous weekend. And gets hug through the mail -emails - phone calls - from your sailors. Take care T-Lynn

Good Morning.
WELCOME Aboard Navy Dad ! Be so glad when you hear from your son and Carol - sorry about your son being ill. Please - both of you keep us posted. Espeically when these two sailors meet up, Hi Jaquelline, you will soon hear from several Moms with sailors on that ship. They will have much to share with you. Your son should get some leave ( I hope) to come home after A School - so enjoy all your time with him. And keep us posted when he leaves for Japan. As for my son - no communications. So I can't report any news about the sailor who came down with chicken pox. And there is a possibility of two more coming down with it. Thanks to everyone's good thoughts to these sailors and now I know we will keep Carol's son in our thoughts too. My day has started of beautiful - bright and sunny - and awaken with so many songs of birds. I wish your moring and the rest of the day to be beautiful too. T-Lynn

For the Yokosuka families --- Japan is never lacking on events, festivals and things to do and if your sailor is in port right now, it's a really fun time in Japan that is called Golden Week.

I received an email this morning from one of our neighbors in Japan, he retired from the Navy and stayed there --- so many sailors love it there

It's Monday of Golden Week, the weather is nice and I had one meeting and
two parties last night. Draggin' butt right now. GW, in case you don't
remember, is a collection of 3 holidays in one week. Kids come home from
college, the rice goes in the mud, festivals and BBQs all over the place.

We're playing at the local azalea festival on top of the highest point on
the peninsula tomorrow (Children's Day) . I've arranged Seahawk coverage
and a base TV crew to be there so look for more, probably next week.

Attached is latest flier on our July Fourth gig. It's at the old Nagai
Heights housing location. Photos on my myspace site also at the link on the
flier...Japanese but you can look at the pictures!

Hi Navy Dad Mark,
We did the same thing. It made us feel we were still watching over him. Please share the moment you hear that he has arrived. By the way, I always thought you were aboard with us Navy Moms. talk soon T-Lynn
PS I see Anti M has started Navy 101 for Moms and Dad
Comment by Anti M on May 2, 2009 at 6:12pm
LOL, we'd need Hoppi for the up to date ins and outs of Navy regs. She's direct, but she's very good, very knowledgeable.

regs = regulations, i.e. rules.
