Vickyrun, thanks for the festive post! We are celebrating quietly with friends until about 9 pm tonight, then home to sleep before we get on the road to SFO @ 5 am to put our sailor on a plane back to GC. It has been a wonderful visit, the time just flew by - hard to say goodbye. As you know.
Happy New Year to everyone! I hope to meet some of you this coming year - so nice to know there are others nearby with similar hopes, fears & experiences to share. Bless you all and your sailors!

@Vicky. Chrissy must be very, very proud of her book. She is giving the important people in her life something that shows what she has accomplished as a sailor. I'd save it and give it to Aidan when he is in high school. Glad to hear things are going well. :)

Oook Bea. She gave copies of the book to her Grandma and her Aunt too! Aunt Nancy said she wished her step-son would join the Navy! lol
Leave going good so far. She rented a car. Much better! no stress of her driving my car.

Vicky, treasure that manual. It's a record of her work - a job well done. My book shelves are full of many of my sons' books. Am I going to read a book on Electrical Circuits or Quantum Physics? Not this millennium. One lab book looks like a work of art. It mean much to them that I have them on display. So I will continue to weed out books and denote those to the library to make room for anything else they may bring home.

? What is 'The Bluejacket's Manual" and why did she give to me? She handed to me as part of my Christmas present and said it is the Navy bible. I said thanks. I thought it was a Bible with a Navy cover. It isn't. I'm NOT a sailor what I am supposed to do with it!?! Doe she actually think I would read it? Or maybe she just doesn't want to store it anymore since she is moving so needed to get rid of it. It is used, she has notes in it. Please pray for me. I hope I survive this leave she has just been home 1 day and is already driving me NUTS!!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope that all of you have a wonderful celebration. Our sailor and his wife are sick. However, Miss Brianna is officially 3 as of yesterday, and doing very well. LOVES her dinosaurs and Minnie Mouse.
I have a Christmas Eve service in North San Juan. Downieville and Sierra City are not used to having service on Christmas eve. So, on Sunday we will have a birthday party for you know who!!! Such fun. I'm bringing those annoying whistles that the kids get at their birthday parties, and putting balloons in the bulletins :-} It will be fun, I promise.
It will be quiet here - waiting for the phone call and hearing how they liked their gifts. I have my blue candle in the window and we have blue lights on the three to remind us of those serving. Someday I'd like to do a red white and blue tree. Take care - my angel blessings to all ~Susan~

Your welcome.
Chrissy is flying in tomorrow, her Dad is picking her up. She will spend a few days with him, then she will come up here Christmas Eve and spend a few days with me.

So great to have our son home for the holidays - I know it will not always be so. We had a wonderful family time with him, our daughter, son in law and two grandbabies yesterday to celebrate my birthday and his homecoming - it was so wonderful to see the babies interacting with him. Our 4 month old grandson fell asleep in his arms, which my daughter says never happens, and our almost 3 granddaughter said, "Bye Uncle, I love you" without being prompted - we usually have to initiate the 'I love you's" with her. So many precious memories being made now that will sustain us through the long months ahead...
