I'm so very sorry to hear about Michael Swink. God bless him and his family.
I do not like the news from Iraq at all.
We (military moms and others who care in my area) are working on getting as much as we can prepared and ready to go to troops for Christmas.
God bless y'all.

Charley, a new retiree-greeter at Wal-Mart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp minded and a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policies.
One day the boss called him into the office for a talk.
"Charlie, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang up job, but your being late so often is quite bothersome."
"Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it."
''Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear. It's odd though your coming in late. I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say if you came in late there?"
''They said, "Good morning Admiral, can I get your coffee, sir?'''

The meds they gave him (simple allergy meds) are working very well, Chris is feeling much better. Also, the smoke is going some other direction, so he may not need them much longer.

Sarah, I really hope that you will feel better soon.
Arwen, I'm sorry to heat that Chris has been ill too.

Arwen, I hope Chris feels better soon.
So once again I'm broken. I won't know exactly what's wrong until the morning and hopefully it is something that rest will help. Sometime last week my ankle started hurting and as of last night I can no longer put any weight on it without bursting into tears. Like I said, hopefully it won't be to bad but what concerns me is I am swollen only in one area and it's more of a bubble. I guess we will see in the morning if it's anything to worry about. It's a good thing I have crutches!
Anyone have any news on how Melissa is doing?

There's a large wildfire some miles east of us. It's not threatening us at all, but the wind has shifted and we're getting all the smoke. The smoke is setting off Chris' hay fever nasty bad, he's suffering. Poor guy, he actually had to go to the urgent care clinic yesterday.
There was no problem with his using his ID card for insurance. That's probably because we have a lot of Coast Guard around here, they're accustomed to seeing it.

Hi Moms. I'll catch up here tomorrow on everyone. I just wanted to tell you that I had the nicest time at a Military Mom's dinner tonight. Most of the moms were Marine moms, but there was one Navy mom. Her son just finished "Hell Week" in Coronado, Ca training to become a Navy SEAL. Wow. She was so excited for him and rooting for him so much. It is his third try. That is SO hard to accomplish. I told her I'd pray for her son everyday. I just know he's going to make it. It was very exciting meeting another Navy mom. God bless then all! We're all so proud.
There was also another mom whose Marine son was badly injured in A'stan and he is home recovering. God bless him. Her story was heart wrenching. He's going through a tough time.
There was another mom AND dad there. Their son just left for his 2nd time in A'stan. God bless them too.
And all the other moms were all so nice. It was a very special time!

I need to go to work tomorrow to recover from my weekend. We went camping in the redwoods with my parents. For them it was a day-long trip, for us it's a half-hour drive. Here's photos from our visit.
We finally found something that dwarfs Chris!
One of the many stumps left from building a road through the redwoods...

That's sooo exciting, Colleen! How nice and wonderful people can be. I find it hard to ask people for things, but in order to help our sailors, soldiers and airmen I'm determined to become stronger regarding that.
Just so y'all know, right now I am currently involved in the Hugs Project helping to get the Christmas gifts ready to send to our troops. I'm keeping track of what y'all are doing too, and I do believe the Hugs Project also does things for our sailors as well not just the Marines and Army. I'll let you know what I find out.
So far I have made lots of survival bracelets which are a really neat thing for them. I'll explain what they are in another post.
This is sooo good that we're all getting active and involved in "helping them". Hooray! I love it and I know that y'all do too. There's never been anything that means so much to me as these projects do because I know how much it means to THEM!
