Thanks krikris! That was actually a tough day as we were snowed in and everyone was getting cabin fever. My sailor and her husband are on the right along with my sailors dog. The other two are my oldest daughter and her boyfriend. My sailor was bummed when I had to go home and take her doggie with me but her schedule just isn't conducive to having a dog.
Glad you made it to PIR, it's a wonderful experience. I've watched a couple on line since my daughter had hers and waiting for those doors to open gives me that same feeling as it did when I was sitting there waiting to see my daughter.

Jesmom6 - Love that idea.
JayDee - What a happy family!
Well, we made it to Great Lakes and back. We had good weather (40s and just a little breeze). I’ve been taking full credit for the warmer temps, I had been “pushing” our West Coast warmth that way for a little over a week - guess it worked :)
It was so good to finally see DD and give her a big hug - didn’t want to let go but I had to share with DH and her boyfriend. PIR was a moving ceremony, I’m so glad we took the time and went.
She’s now started A-School in TX. After seeing pics of her room it’s easy to think that she’s just away at school, so we’ll be able to talk more frequently and even visit once she phases up to Liberty privileges. Actually she’s not much further away than our son is at college, just a different direction. Just have to load up the camper and we’ll be on our way. :)

Jesmom6, that's a great idea! I used to send my daughter pictures to her dog. She said she really liked those.
Hi Anna, how's your daughter doing? I've been thinking about her.

Jaydee59 my daughter arrived at Boot scamp on 1/2. I haven't heard from her except for the form letter. I'm praying she gets to call home this weekend. My other daughter's and I are having a Girls Day Out on Sunday. One of them made a "Flat Erin" so she can "join" in on the fun! We're going to take pics and print them out on one of her letters describing the day. She's either going to love us or hate us because we got to get together. Lol

It's been quiet here. How's everyone doing? We had a nice visit with our sailor and her sister, then raced a storm back home. By the time we got home our dogs were so confused!
I did manage to get a picture of all the kids.

Anna, been thing and praying for your girl.
Oleander, so HAPPY you got to see and hear her! Means SO much to us Mamas and I'm sure it lifted her spirits too. :)
JayDee, Glad you made it safely and in time. My SIL made it home also, But ended up going out to rescue other people, He was LOVING it! LOL He left snow here and was sad but left early to get out before it hit here.
So I have Daughter and Granddaughter living with us right now. BIG SMILES. (LOL) We've been COLD (8 below zero with wind chills 24 below), now have a warm up things are melting, another storm coming Friday.

Oleander,
So glad you got to talk to your girl!!! Please wish her happy belated birthday greetings from me!!!
Spyder,
Wish I could come visit!!!
GranmaFaye,
I understand your problem. We had really cold temps here in Oklahoma also. Had frozen kitchen lines for about 4 days!! And because it was so cold we couldn't empty our tanks so our bathroom tank overflowed and froze to the bottom of the belly pan of our trailer. One day we got up to the 40's and we had water, got to dump the tanks and the next day we were in the 20's!!!! So far, tho all is ok!!!
JayDee,
I saw some pictures of VA beach with snow on it!! Right by the statue of Poseidon!!! (at least that's who I think it is!!) It looks beautiful!!
Everyone stay warm!!!!

Omg, prayers for you all going through this.
