Hello Sisters-happy to hear the good news from everyone especially you Susan and I will pray for the others who are leaving this great US soil. Louis said that he wants to get another car since he will be in port for awhile. I don't know yet if he is coming home when he leaves GL but either way I see ROAD TRIPS in my future.
Well the broadcast was great. Louis posted a thank you to Mr. Martin. He was very proud of me and I was proud of myself. God is shifting me down a path and I can see it. It is sort of scary too.
There is a Tuesday broadcast each week (5pm-9pm CST) and this Saturday he will be playing Jazz music from 3pm-7pm CST-a special broadcast. When I gave out the website I put www in the front. Don't type that in when you go to the site.
Hippmom, I received the below e-mail today:

So true. It isn't fair. Excelling should mean something. It doesn't give these guys a good message at all.
Hipmom - wow ~ Seems like they would ask for volunteers who wanted to go home first before trying to get rid of those wanting to stay. I can't imagine your dissapointment.
Annm - My friends name is Judy, her son is PFC Winyard Hill. Prayers are being sent for your friend who has lost a Dad. I know how devastating that is.
Its been a long evening here. My daughter has finally taken over my Sailors room. Much painting, trimming and sweat and the job is now done. His stuff now occupies the smallest room in the house. Reminds me of a hunting lodge. Deer horn curtain rods, camo bedding, arrows and hunting things on every wall. Maybe he wont be to upset!
