Well I finally finished the Sailboat quilt I have been working on. Last time I use a coloring book picture as a pattern! Oh well the quilt is done and out of here tomorrow.

Thank you, paymaster. Yes I'm proud of her decision. Sorry that it had to end the way it did but at least they hadn't started a family yet. That would have made it even harder as her job in the Navy is pretty deployment heavy. Thankfully she's not too far away so I'm hoping to see more of here before her next deployment.
Tee, always happy to get greetings from fellow moms in the trenches.

Vicky, I'm so sorry to hear about Crissy. I hope her back is better. Did she go to the doc?
Hi tallmama, good to hear from you.

Hi, Monica and Paymaster. I'm alwasy lurking and trying to keep track of all of you busy ladies and your comings and goings, wedding planning, church functions, meet and greets. I'm so sad that I haven't been able to come to any of the get togethers and meet everyone else, but I just cannot seem to get my schedules worked out so I'm not working either at home or the office all the time. All work and no play is making me a very dull girl.
My daughter is doing well, Paymaster. She's fully qualified, ESWS -- I think that's right -- passed. Completed her first deployment to the middle east and returned safely home. I got to go on the Tiger Cruise at the end of February beginning of March and had a blast. Got to spend a couple extra days with her in Bremerton Washington. On a sad note, she and her husband of less than two years decided that they weren't meant to be together, and have filed for divorce. I guess that long deployment really was the deciding factor in my daughter's mind, so her homecoming was bitter sweet as that's when she broke the news.
Congratulations on your daughter's upcoming wedding, Paymaster. I can't imagine being able to plan for that on such short notice and pulling it off, but I know you will get it all done and it will be beautiful. You are AMAZING!
God bless all of you. You and your sailors are always in my thoughts. You may not hear from me, but I'm still here sending positive thoughts.
