Hi
Maggs- awesome and amazing talent you have. He is beautiful. Sending Reiki Energy to you for the next 7 days. And I agree with Blondie - get a massage and see if you can find a reflexologist too. They can hit teh pressure points on your hands or feet. Gentle hugs friend.
Blondie - good to hear from you. Take your time to feel better.
Cheryl - cute pictures. You should send him a copy of these pictures in a care box. He will enjoy it.
Need to get - still finishing up on cub scout stuff. hugs

Well, Maggs - whn I plan a trip to see my gf in Maryland - I''ll post it and we can have a meet a greet! Maybe we can get a few others too. How is Angel doing? And for some reason I have had teh feeling that you hurt your toe again. I have not clue why I have this feeling. If you are ok - just be careful for the next few days.
Talking about toes - hey Kim how you doing? News to share about your dad please. And Anti M - how is your foot doing too?
Blondie - you are not on - that means something is up. Our ears are waiting.
Oh Cheryl - don't our guys look so good in their uniforms? hehehe - funny Cheryl - ok now post the real one.

Welcome to the new moms! Doreen - my son just left Yokosuka last month. He'd been there 2 1/2 years and really enjoyed it. Now he's on his journey back to the states - yeah me!
It's been raining cats & dogs here.....so much I think I'm starting to mold! Tropical Storm Bill has been dumping on us and I live in Missouri...what's up with that? Oh well, can't doing anything about it....we'll dry out eventually!
Hugs to you all and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

HI
Yes, Maggs - my friend lives in Greenbelt. Is that close to you? Looking forward to hearing about that flirting hummming bird. Sorry for Angel. She had all rights to bat that kitten. Glad she is getting a rest.
Today I have a day off - Older son is home and watching his son. This is funny. And he is making dinner. I was told it is the frozen pizza dinner night. Well, at least he is cooking and cleaning up. I finally get to do my laundry and scout work.
Yippe you heard form you sailor Cheryl :).
Wish all a great day .

Note to self: Just got off the phone with the sailor.
He related something to me regarding the power of social media. I recently went on our sailor's ship's FB page that they had not been doing many postings since their previous information coord. was re-assigned because my sailor is not a great communicator (as many of us have commented on). Well..... this resulted in him being called out by the captain during their All Hands meeting. Basely the captain broadcasted to the entire ship "["Petty Officer "last name", call your mother!" ]
