Mamakweenb, sounds like you're a good cook. I, too, like to cook. It's been hard, in fact, to gauge how much to buy and how much to make. I find myself sharing with my parents a lt now...which makes my Mom very happy. I have been trying to be very busy, so I am taking each day ne by one. last night I prepped and served food at the soup kitchen in a local town...then sat in the post office parking lot to finish a letter under a street light and pop in the post office box. Then home to finish up some Spanikopeta to take to a Bible study brunch today. Visited with some friends, and a new friend from the Philipines today. Then worked in the yard and watched the hummingbirds. You would thing that is a good full couple days. But I stil cried after I was alone because it's another day with no mail. I honestly hadn't thought yet about Mothers Day...taking each day on it's own...I still have my Mom and it's also my father's birthday. So much going on, so many blessings, yet it's interesting that one little thing missing can make is sad. I will be praying for all us moms out there missing our SRs. Also praying they will allow calls home to moms this weekend...that would be the greatest gift!
hard to believe we only have a couple weeks left! Can't wait!!!!!

Catmom509, thank you for the scripture. I will send the one you recommend for entering Battlestations. I have been sharing scripture with my son in almost every letter, (except the letter from the dog:-) ! )
I am trusting God with our son, yet there is a great struggle with lack of hearing from our son. It's been three weeks now, and I am so hungry to hear something...anything! It's so hard to hear other mothers getting letters and calls. Is this normal?

Friends,

This scripture is so appropriate for the Battlestations that your SRs will be going through soon.  Perhaps you can share with your SR in a letter now.

     "Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

      I have summoned you by name;  you are mine. 

      When you pass through the waters,

      I will be with you; and when you pass

      through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.

      When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;

      the flames will not set you ablaze.  For I am the Lord,

      your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..."

                                                                 Isaiah 43:1b-3a

My son is also 185. He has told me how great his shipmates are, how they work together as a team.

Hi All~~

     "You have dealt well with Your servant,

      O Lord, according to Your Word.

      Teach me good jdgment and knowledge,

      for I believe in Your commandments."

gej:  If this is a family emergency, you will need to call the Red Cross and have them get in touch with RTC.  There is no direct link between families and the SRs.  The Red Cross will determine by the nature of your call whether they can contact your SR or not.  You are welcome to call the Public Affairs Office there, but they really can't tell you much.  Here is their number:  847 688 2405  The Red Cross info should be in your form letter.

tytulip:  You can bring the cushions in a bag....they will search whatever you bring but it's ok.

Got a goofy question: I'm planning on stopping at a Walmart or something to grab a couple cheap bleacher cushions for us to sit on - now everything I read states limited item to bring in - so I pretty much just come in with purse in one hand and cushion in the other?  Or can I put all 3 cushions in a bag?  I don't want to be the reason for a back up in traffic at the gate because of cushions.  Planning on using the shuttle to get in.  

Concerned, quirky mom!
