Good morning All!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. No calls from Div 937 - per my daughter's letter of 26 June, her hell week started last week so I am hoping to hear from her this week. So excited to be less than 18 days away from PIR.
Hope you all have a great day :)

if anyone starts getting calls please post asap so that I can get to an area with better cell phone service. At the beach in SC and we have lousy cell service at the condo. One tower sonetimes two towers for service. Hope to hear this week. No one got calls last weekend so hoping for today. Thanks moms. I am freaking out not being able to have proper phone service.

Dianne, mine can connect with this site but it is so hard to find the pages I want and it is not user friendly at all. It makes me crazy so I just don't do it. I just give my hubby this sad look that tells him to hurry and share his computer :)
YAY for phone calls :)

Good Morning! Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!
Haven't been around much due to my "real job" taking too much time away from my fun. Then my power supply on my computer failed, then my secondary hard drive. Bleh...hate computers sometimes.
Hey diannep, Guess what I did get during my absence... A new pic of my son on ship.
Hahahaha!
This pic is from a "Steel Beach Picnic". They have these on the last Sunday they are out at sea and ready to head home!

I wonder why some of the phones cannot connect with N4Moms? I don't have a SmartPhone so know nothing about this. Usually we hear that others also have a hard time accessing this site from their phone and I'm not sure why that happens. Maybe NING needs to be contacted about this issue to see if they can tweak the site to be more phone friendly?

Sorry I haven't been on yesterday or today. We are now in FL on vacation and I can't use my phone for this site. We were traveling all day yesterday. We got here last night and my brand new computer that I have had less than 2 months will not turn on at all. So, so very disappointed in DELL :( I called tech support and have to mail my laptop to them and wait about 2 weeks to get it back. No idea how they expect a small business owner to work without a computer for that long :( Thank goodness my hubby has his laptop and I can use it enough to get on a little bit each day. If anyone needs me or has any questions please email me at uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com I can check email and facebook from my phone but not this site for some reason :(
Happy Independence Day to all of our Navy family. Just a couple more weeks and I will get to see my daughter and beautiful grand baby :) I hope you all had a wonderful day and I hope you got to spend it with your sailors or got to talk or FaceTime with them. <3 It is because of their service and those who served before them that we are able to enjoy days like this with our families <3 God Bless them all!
