Good morning all, Thanks Blondie, I am excited as I don't get away very often. Sorry I don't have any baby pictures to share with you. My grandson Aidan is not a baby anymore, he is 8 years old. How about a cute kitty and puppy pic:

Good Morning to Everyone.
Blondie I am glad your daughter has someone to help her out and that she is not stuck driving that long of a way. Sorry the new girl is not remembering stuff. Hopefully by Monday she will remember all of it. Will pray for you and your family. Hope your hubby gets well soon and that you will sleep all night.
Happy Friday. We all made it. I am finishing my first week back to work and still love the job. Still learning new stuff and it is going to be a great job for how long it will last. Hopefully forever.

Double NavyMom,
So happy you got to Skype with your girl!! And it's great that the USO could help her out! That is what they are there for!
Vickyrun,
Fair Winds and Following Seas to your daughter and her shipmates!!! And for all our sailors on deployment far from home!!
Splash,
So good to hear from you!! I understand about trying to catch up!!
Blondie,
More prayers for your girl!!
Jean,
I meant to tell you that I'm very close to you yet so far away. I think of you as I look across the Columbia at WA!!! The other day hubby and I drove down to the top of Portland. We had a couple errands we needed a big city for and didn't want to take the trailer. Coming back we were driving along the coast of the Columbia and could see three big snow-capped mountain peaks. Found out they were Mt St Helens, Mt Hood, and Mt Adams. It was the most awesome sight I've seen!!!!!!

DoubleNavyMom, YAY, love skyline with my girl. Happy the USO helped her out. They are awesome. Yes our sailors have to pay for everything. Shouldn't be that way.
Vickyrun (((HUGS)))Praying for your girl, and you. Thank god for our Navy Sisters to help us through.
I just saw that I misspelled Monterey..shouldn't type with one eye open. No rain here yet :-(
Blondie, sorry about the hail.
Hi splash, good to see you. How are you? Missed you.
