Good Morning.
I have made a collection too. Every email that we have sent and all responces from him - are copied and placed in a special note book. When down, I go back a re-read his messages. My friends are tyring to help me create a Navy Scrapbook about him too. Then having this sight to go to, what a comfort. Oh - I made four of the 5 Minutes Chcocoate Cakes, with the chocoalte chips this time. My Mom likes it better with the chips. Now I am considering experiemeting with flavored chips! Anyway - Navy Moms and Dads - have a great day. Terry :)

So nice to hear how we all hold them close when they are so far away. My locker at work looks like a Navy/Kathryn memorial!!! Kathryn called 7 more weeks give or take. Has anyone seen a return from deployment when it is a flight squadron? I've seen pics of the ships coming back and I cry it is so awe inspiring. But I don't know about flight squadrons.

Debi awww I would have cried too!!! Thanks Carol hearing from you both made me feel like I am not 'crazy mom'. There is no better sound than...love you mom.

Thanks for the info. Will go to the post office in the am to order fpo boxes and will try again. I heard from Kathryn for Easter it had been 28 days it seemed like forever..just so wonderful to hear her voice. Before she was deployed I had her leave me a message on my phone. It really helps during those long periods in between just to hear her say I love you.....sorry just being a mushy mom. I really feel for all those moms with their sailors deployed for years. God bless you all.

Hi Everyone.
Ok - I made the 5 Minute Chocolate Cake. My mother was willing to be a taste tester - for the beneift of her Grandson in the Navy. She said ; "this is good!" And I agree - it is good and it is a perfect serving size. Big enough to share, but I don't think my son would. What's nice - it is easy to make and it is an easy clean up. And knowing my son - he will add extras - ice cream - syrups - nuts. etc. I did not add the chocolate chips though, so I have to try that later. Maybe my husband and other son will be taste testers. Let you know. And the splash amount of vanilla = 1/8 teaspoon . I forogttot share this.- My Mom has to be careful about foods/recipes with high salt and soda added. No worries here - there is NO salt or soda added! Ok - everyone - ENJOY !!! And my apoligy to Kim - it is you that shared the possible of exchanging indredients for a recipe to meet the needs of persons on the Weight Watcher program or those who are diabetic. I am sorry to have miss that. But please share the recipe too. I have relatives who could use it. Thanks Terry. PS right now - the Cubs are loosing. I need to go make me another cake for comfort.

Sharon
If you are able to exchange ingredients, please post it too! I have relatives who are diabetic and that would be a wonderful treat for them. I planned to place the recipe on the website tomorrow, but it would be great if your substitution receipe could be with it! Will wait for you to post the new version of the receipe here - please. Thank you. I beleive it was Debi who shared that her nieghbor had tried this cake and loved it. Debi was also, kind in shairng the size of the mug needed. Terry PS Carol - the duplicate email annoucments have stopped. How is it for you?

Sharon, I know what you mean. I have been bugging my son to get his passport for two years. His last email promised me he will get it done next time he is in port. He isn't in the mode where I can't tell him what to do like my other adult son but he has always marched to his own tune. We are from Canada and his relatives all live there. It is even more important for him.
Terry, thanks for the recipe. I am not tempted by sweets but I love to bake. Let me know how it turns out. There is alot of sugar and oil in it. I think I can change it with splenda and grapefruit juice (or other oil substitute) to make it fit into weight watchers. I love doing this stuff. The Phillies are doing great but we lost our heart and soul of the team this week.

Thank you ladies!
I have three different sizes of mugs and when I try this cake - I want to make sure I didn't end up with a choclate cake microwave. Now when I share this receipe on the webesite I will add the size of the mug I will state that this size was tested and approved. And glad to know I am not alone. Guess the site wants to make sure I KNOW I have messages. Oh - it's TAX Day and worse - the Cubs lost. At least it is sunny. Terry

Another question - please. Have any of you experienced duplicate email annoucements? Example: received that a message was from Sharon, on Japan site - it came twice on my address. Is this happening to any of you?
