Good Morning to Everyone.
Emmie, safe travels and happy birthday/anniversary! Give your girl a big ((HUG)) from all of us. Thinking we should all open up our own moving company as much as we help move our Sailors LOL I know she's so happy to have her mom w/hubby leaving and all...and getting some one on one time with our girls...priceless :-)
Blondie, Wow! what an adventure! Glad your back safe...and somewhat sound LOL Too bad mother nature wouldn't cooperate, shame on her!!!
Vickyrun, BZ to Chrissy!! How awesome that she is excelling on her new ship! Years down road it's so nice to look back at those coins and all the good memories.
Anna and Catsmom, have a wonderful day together...I'll be thinking of you both!!! I wanna hear all about it and....of course, see pics too!!! :-)
Jean, adorable pics as usual...she's such a cutie, but how could she not be, right?! ;-)
We are finally drying out here so much rain and flooding...wish I could have sent some your way Catsmom! Going to start warming up and be in the 70s I can handle that temp!! LOL
Have a great Sunday everyone...
Vickyrun,
Nice job on earning the coins!!!
Catsmom,
Looking forward to our visit also!! Hubby is eager to meet you and your hubby!!! Loving these warm temps - 90 today in Mission Bay!!! I just keep remembering how cold it was when we left Wisconsin!!! We do have two pools and two hot tubs here in the RV park so I'm taking advantage of them!!!
Blondie,
Glad you made it back safe and sound!!
Good morning, Happy weekend to all,
Blondie, I am glad you had safe travels. I wish you could send some of that rain and snow to drought - stricken California!
Jean and Anna, thanks but I don't think my son-in-law is the yoga type. I have done it, it is a stretching and toning class. Our sailors also have to do cardio to stay in shape for their PTs. Chrissy earned two fancy Navy coins:
She got the one on
the left from her captain. So that is nice she is doing bet- ter on her new ship
Vickyrun,
Before we left Wisconsin my hubby and I took yoga together. It really helped both of us feel better. We bought a DVD but haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
Jean,
Such a cute baby!! Love that face!!
Ashley,
I hope you get your call. I used to get my letters every Thursday!!! I'd be standing at the mailbox waiting for the mailman. He was so sweet, he remembered my daughter and would ask about every week when he delivered my letters!!!!
Emmie,
I'm in San Diego too!!! However our visit here is just about over or I'd come help you move your girl. Please keep us posted about the impending birth!!!! So sorry her hubby won't be there to witness it.
Hi Splash!!!!
Welcome back Blondie!!
Good morning all,
Ashley, they get mail every day but can only write back on Sundays.
