Welcome back Sailorgirl 10. Congrats on your marriage. You both look so happy.
Congrats to you both!!!
Ok, Sailor came home for the weekend and now is in San Diego, and on board the USS Pioneer. And that's all I know. The next adventure begins.
I look up and see we are almost at the 160 days. It's so hard to believe that it has been that long already. I remember the days of will he "get thru boot camp". I always read the posts but cann't always have time to add the comment. Boy, have we come along way.
Finally got back to the group. What a two week rollercoaster have I been on. Sent package to Seabee for her Sailor, hope it gets it this time. My "old old", her words, not mine; she only 85 young, has been sick and driving my crazy. Sailor got orders to go to the USS Pioneer in San Diego(spelling?). To top that off the world is going "crazy". I'm starting to fill up extra gas can; stocking the stable shelves and everybody is ill/sick at work. lol, i'm a nurse!! help, nurse Overboard.
But I do agree with too many groups. reeniegaalla me too, I'm sticking to just this group and the brat packs. that's about all I can handle right now.
