It is amazing. Takes teamwork to get done. The ships that can not leave a tied to the piers or moved to safer mooring but the crew is still recalled. He actually had "fun" riding the seas.

She may have heard that. All it means is they are aware and are putting the wheels in motion so IF they have to they are ready. It's pretty early and it looks like Mr. Hurricane Bill hasn't really decided where to go yet. My son's first outing on his ship was to avoid Isabel several years ago. I got a quick hi we're leaving call and they were outa there.

They are sending ships out in Florida from what I've heard so far. They are far better off at sea than at the pier.

Congratulations USS Mitscher! Soooo very glad to have you all back home safe and sound! Prayers having been answered! What an awesome welcoming it was, even if the rained drenched the earth, it did not the spirit!

Ladies, this was posted in the Molly's adopt a sailor room. Can anyone help?

Update on Michael Sheppard from Denise Holland: I am looking for anyone that is in Norfolk area and in Richmond. As some of you know my son was in the motorcycyle accident in July. Still in the Naval hospital in Portsmouth he is feeling soso very lonesome. I was just wondering if there was anyone out here that has the time to look in on him. Someone that could take maybe a magazine or too to him. Maybe even a milkshake.He has a girlfriend there but she often forgets to take things to him. I will pay for anything that is taken to him. The care he is getting at the hospital is ok. They don't do very good about keeping him clean. He skin is pealing very badly. I do know that it is because he hasnt been abule to take a real shower in 40 days as of today. I called the charge nurse last night and told her that it isnt ok for him not to be clean. I forgot to check to find out how often his bedding is changed.
He has been in the Navy for 11 years and some of you new Navy moms that have question maybe he can help you. He really is a wonderful person to talk too.
Once he gets to Richmond he will not have any visitor until the weekend when is GF can get up there. If there is anyone that know anyone that could help her in getting a place to stay over the weekends that wouldnt cost her a whole lots. Like everyone else they have bills and money is tight. It will be so hard for her to go there every weekend. With gas and food and a motel. I dont think she will be able to go every weekend. I dont want her sleeping in the car. Most of the time I am sure she will be taking her 8 year old son.
If there is anyone out there that can help please email me. As I said I will make sure that I send to money for anything you do.
Thanks so much for reading this.

Hi all,

It's been a while since I gave you an update on our weekend activities. So here is last weekend. We adopt all of the servicemen and women who come to our home as our own "sons" and "daughters" so naturally, when they get married and have children they become our adopted grandchildren. This is the latest - a granddaughter! :)

Saturday Evening (July 18, 2009)

We had Randy (Marine Cpl) and Nikki and little Sarah here visiting us for the weekend from Camp Lejeune North Carolina. It was fun making and eating home made pizzas and playing catch phrase with them and Savannah and Brandon (Oceana), and Trever (USS Gunston Hall). We all shared prayer requests and prayed together. Check out the new pics.

Sunday (July 19, 2009)

Had a great day today! Sunday school was good, the lesson was about about faith. Worship was excellent. Pastor Rodney preached about Satan wanting to sift us as wheat - don't let him! Then Savannah and Brandon (Oceana), Brian and Sarah (my daughter and son-in-law), and Randy (Marine – Camp Lejeune, NC) and Nikki and Sarah Mayzak enjoyed a pot roast, potatoes and carrots, followed with apple crisp and ice cream for dinner at our house. We watched two chapters of the book of Matthew on video. Then prayed for Randy and Nikki before they left for home.

All in all, a very good weekend! Thank you Lord!

Blessings on all of you,

John

Hi Lori and Melissa...know how you feel...Josh is my youngest and the last to leave the "nest". I have six now that are on their own as well as . This empty nest syndrome is tough to handle some days! But that's the result of raising them to think on their own and be comfortable with it. Can't hold on to them forever. I'm lucky because I hear from them each day when they call and five are within a ten mile radius from me. Josh is on the USS Monterey in Norfolk. He's 23 and the other five are in their forties! Lucky me!!!
