My mouth is watering just thinking of you canning all that great FRESH veggies!!!! I am so sorry for Jack. Hope he is doing better. And you are right - you are the bad guy. Sorry Blondie.

Congrats on your sailor's graduation and so happy you were there for him. I do know how you feel. Same thing happened to us when our sailor graduated - the papers where not done! But your sailor should get his two weeks. Enjoy that time. And if you take him to the air port, ask him to show his military id. And then ask if you can go with him to his gate and wait with him until his plane leaves. Make sure you have your driver's liecense with you. But you should get a pass to sit with him :). Also, encourage him not to travel to Japan in his uniform. One it is not very comfortable ( well that is what my sailor said) and he really doesn't want attention to himself. That was told to my sailor.

Hey- I had to be in that dentist chair again for another hour and 4 injections! this time - to finish filing down the tooth so a crown can go on. How sore is my jaw, but WHAT a wonderful reason I HAVE to eat ice cream.

hey - need to split - wish all sweet dreams hugs

Comment by Lauren - Ship 11 Div 317 on August 7, 2015 at 9:35am: Just got back from my Son's C School Graduation, nice ceremony, 12 graduated, 6 Navy, 6 Air Force, All of the Air Force grads are staying in the US, 3 of the Navy headed to Japan, I think the Air Force may be a bit jealous!

Unfortunately for us, his travel home arrangements hadnot been made yet, so I came home last night with no Sailor. He needs to report on the 28th, we are hoping he gets at least 2 weeks at home first!

Comment by T-Lynn on August 6, 2015 at 6:19pm: HI

How exciting! A sailor

s surprise call home. Sailors graduating - then coming home to collect hugs and finally off to their new adventures! And they will have some amazing ones! Maybe even climb the mountain. Get ready for a roller coaster ride. And please remember to share with us here too.

Maggs-g ee - when you fall off the grid - you do it majorly. Glad you are back on - how is getting ready for teaching?

I can't image cooking - sorry - frying fish for that many people. Hey - I can't even imagine a family that big! Please share pictures and fun.

Nothing major new here. Just that thrid session tomorrow with the root canal. I'll be fine, just frustrated. And then Saturday is teh funeral for the scout leader. some where in that time frame - I'm getting some ice cream. Ice cream makes thing better.

Hey - need to split. I am suppose to be typing up a scout camp report. I better do it hugs all
