DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Hello ladies! Sorry I haven't checked in lately but I've been keeping an eye on all of you LOL Love all the pics...those babies are the cutest ever and the wedding photos/video were just beautiful! Life has been busy for me, nothing spectacular though, just day to day hectic. Have been working on organizing a family reunion (my dad's side) it's less than two weeks away and is a two day event. Me & hubby are in charge of food on day 1 - frying fish for a couple hundred people. Getting excited though got relatives coming in from all over. Haven't had a reunion on this side of family in years.
Got woke up early this morning with a phone call and it was sailor on other end....nice surprise wasn't expecting a call till they pull into port. He got his paper orders (nothing's changed) but now he has a date to report to school and if all works out he might be home for Christmas! This will be the first time since joining the Navy - first year he was in boot camp and the last 3 he's been in Japan. Keeping my fingers crossed...toes too!!!
Take care everyone...you're always in my prayers
and Happy Belated Birthday Kim! Hope you're still celebrating!

HI
I only see a beautiful lady. Isn't that spot called a soft spot for tatoos? Looks ouch, but glad you are happy with it :). Good - more healing energy coming :).
Kim - remember - your birthday is 7 days of celebrating . Love your grandson's eyes. So wise. But what's with the bowl?
About my tooth. Everyone take a breath. Dentist office called on my 38th wedding anniversary ( July 30,2015) He was reviewing the x-ray. He does NOT like how one canal DID NOT fill to the bottom with concrete. I HAVE to go back on August 7th at 1 pm for the root canal process allover to refill the one canal. My jaw hurts so now. I am asking for knock out meds after.
But then on Saturday the 8th is teh funeral for the ScoutReach director. His battle with cancer he lost. This will be an official BSA Funeral - dress uniforms, flags, and honor guard .
THEN right after funeral - the neighborhood church is hosting a pig roast. They only ask the neighbor hood to bring items for those in need. They provided a list. Teh thing that caught my attention. My son stated they have a nursery/day care.
Thinking what I am thinking? You bet - maybe - JUST MAYBE - Riker could go there. And it is only 2 blocks away from teh home. I might get to go back to work. Keep you posted.
Ok Ih ave to get - today is Semi-Annual charter Member meeting for gun club. I am the secretary. When I get back home - I finish the afternoon with typing up minutes. Then I will meet with Jack ( Jack Daniels Black Label #7) should sleep well don't you think?
hugs all
