That's why I was surprised when Craig said he was having them out on the ship. He got 2 days to rest and then back to work. He did ok. A little swollen yet, I guess.

Yes, they do. My son didn't have them pulled out in BC, but just last week on the ship he did. We got an email today, said he was still a tiny bit sore, but ok.

For those who were at the Meet and Greet at MOA, my photos are not the best in the world, but I can share if you want one. I have photos of the following, either together or by themselves. Julie and Robin (at the every end of the table; Julie (sorta in the center of the table) thenn the mom who's name I have forgotten); Mary (our hostess); Mary Beth and Carol (across from Mary); Holly and Judy; and NO photo of the great looking guy at the end!! Sorry! LOL Of course, I have forgotten the mom's name who has the long brown hair. Help me out here!! I tried to "upload" them three times and each time they come back as "ERROR". I am beginning to think that sending photos is right up there with Texting!! Either of which I am any good at! Have a great day!!

I can still walk, even though the knee gets stiff.

Nice Lunch!! Thanks for setting it up Mary. Even Ted had a good time! Although he was having a bit of difficulty hearing those at the other end, he made the most of it. It was great seeing everyone.
From what I have found out so far, the Wreath celemony at Fort Snelling will be December 12th, at 11:00. (I will correct that time if it is wrong) It is always so beautiful with all the Christmas Wreaths at the grave sites with one Patriot Guard at each row. I am not sure if they will be doing one entire section (which takes up several hundred graves) or if they are going to be asked to do just certain ones. But, I think for more explicit information at their web site. But if you don't want to look it up, let me know and I will be happy to do it for you.

Thanks for setting it up, Mary. Also, thanks for thinking of the thank you. Maybe you could add a bit of how nice our waiter was. I also enjoyed spending time with you all.
Good night all.

Wow, Lauritz, always something new in life, isn't there? I do hope that you are doing well. So sorry that we will not see you Saturday. Please take care and keep checking in here. Haven't heard from Liz. Pray she is doing well also.

Happy Birthday to Eric! I'm looking forward to Saturday, also. Hope there is not yucky weather. :)
Remember, JJ, you are not old!
