Good Morning to Everyone.
Now the weather man are talking triple digits for next week here. We don't ever get triple digits. I only remember it once and I have lived here all my life. So we are going to have a very hot summer. Now I am wishing for all that rain we had to come back for at least for a while. Everyone be safe with the weather out there. It is being weird out there.
I will try and send another picture of Aurora. We went and got her 1 year pictures yesterday. They were so cute. But my daughter won't post them on FB until after her birthday so I won't be able to send those until August. But I have a father day picture that she posted on FB that I can share. So I will.

Thinking of you when I hear of the temps in AZ!!! I sure hope you have ways of keeping cool. Stay safe in that heat!!

Vickyrun,
Love the post about the red shirt. I've also heard Wear RED - Remember Everyone Deployed. Whatever it stands for it is a great idea to keep our service men and women in everyone's conscience!!!!
Baileysmom,
Sorry I am late with this but congrats to your daughter!!! I'm sure her PIR is over by now and I hope it was everything you expected!!! Can't wait to hear about your time with her. And sorry to hear about her knee, I hope it heals quickly!!!!

Good Monday morning all, Yes summer is in full swing here too, Jean.
Recruiters? I don't like them. I don't know why they lie? Is it on purpose or they just misinformed themselves? Chrissy's gave her a Navy backpack and said she could take that as her only luggage. It was sent back to me in "The Box"! The only ting she was allowed to keep was a couple of family pictures. Not even all the pictures she took, some were sent back in "The Box". I sent them in a letter to her. They can keep whatever you send in a letter but you can't send packages to Boot Camp.
