JJ - That is so neat that someone else laid a rose!! We were fortunate to spend Memorial Weekend with our son. He went with us to our church camp to help open. We've done this for years, and he has been a camper since he was going into 3rd grade, and also work staffed and counseled once he was in high school. It was great to all be there together again. I shed a few tears with all the mention of military and prayers for them and their families. There was another young man who was there with his girlfriend who was a Marine, and I thanked him for his service.

Are we doing a June get together? I know summers get busy....just wondering.

I also want to wish all a Happy Memorial Day. This gives us all a chance to say Thank You for all those who have served or are serving our country. I made a call to my Navy guy, Eric Robert, and couldn't manage to hold myself together. I think I made it through about a minute of conversation before I started to cry.  The amount of pride I have for him is just so very overwhelming.  As with all us Moms, our sons and daughters are truely our heroes and we are all very proud of each and everyone of them. Another bit of info, visiting the grave site of my dad was also very moving, since upon his grave marker laid a single red rose. I am not sure who left it there, but it wasn't from my mom.  She arrived a 7:00 a.m. and said it was there when she arrived. Someone else has remembered the "other" man in my life that was so important to me.

I echo that.  Thanks to those you gave their all, and thanks to those who serve. Have a blessed day!

Hi Everyone!  Sorry I missed the lunch --- was planning to come but then got called into work at the last minute.   Big news came yesterday ... My daughter won Bluejacket of the Quarter (BJOQ) at Naval Support Activity Mid-South!! From the Navy website: "The awards are given each quarter to those Sailors who stand out from the rest for their professional accomplishments, commitment to their job, and military bearing."

Karen H....Just look at the Get Togethers that are usually posted above. Some of them are South Metro in Richfield or Bloomington area and others are in the Northtown Shopping Center area. One or the other group will fit your needs. Or like some of us, we hit both of them!!  Either group are always fun and your picture will be taken!  We like to post pictures of those who can make it.

Just leave lotsa time to chat and show pictures of your sailor.  That's is always a highlight of the luncheon. If you get out of there by 3:00 you are leaving too earlier!  LOL

It was nice getting together Saturday and celebrating birthdays! Isn't it great we all are 29?!?! :-)

Karen H. - the more the merrier...we get together on Saturdays usually around 12:30 or 1pm

We've tried to do a get together about once a month.  Whoever can come, comes.  There is a group of 5 or 6 of us from the Spring Lake Park, Shoreview, Blaine, Coon Rapids area that usually meet around Northtown Mall, but we have met in other areas.
