HI Trina !!!
Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving
And everyone else too :)
Congrats to your daughter !!!! So glad to learn that our sailors can earn their degrees. My son was so upset for the last two years. It just didin't work out to side up even for on line classes. Please share when she recieves her diploma.
Ny son is hoping for a rate change. He has completed a package and handed it in a couple of months ago. He dream - a sailor with a job working on land. He said he has crossed the Equator enough. I'll share how he does in class and IF he receives his wish of a land job.
So is everyone ready for Thanksgiving? I have to go grocery shopping today. And I hope to get in and out before the crowds.
Need to get - laundry calling talk soon

How cool is that ! Going to share this with the Japan Moms too. Right now they are looking for ideas to send. So how is school? Any exciting news about your sailor? Mine is happy - he is taking some college classes. Now he feels he has the chance for the BS in Envirnomental Sceince. He had his Associates in Scicnec before he entered BC. But never had any opprotunity to take any classes when arrived in Japan. It took his ship being in dry dock for it to happen. Have sweet dreams

It rained - but stopped raning when all teh big tiems moved in - so nothign got wet :)
But the apratmetn was not cleaned - just rinsed over
So I spent time cleaning bathrooms - the floors and steaming the carpet
next day - Sunday - I washed dishes and all other kitchen items - why ? Because dishwasher was broken - then when we tried to dry the dish towels - found that the washer /dryer was broken. So today repair person is there fixing things.
kids will be over later to get smal items adn have dinner. They are bringing a movie
And hubby is in Florida until Wednesday Giving a check up to teh champioan winning airplane. Teh boss would not fly up teh plane - so the machinics went to the plane It's just 90 in Floidia
And sailor eamiled too. He is working over tiem becuase other new sailors have to be trained for the psoistions. So now maybe my son willnot be able to attend some college classes. But maybe he will be able to come home for new years.
I'm tired - havea agood day
