I heard from Katie on Sat. she's too funny you guys will get a kick out of this story.
My Mom has always sent a box of Candy for all of the Sailors for the holidays well she sent Katie a box after Valentine's Day which she just got on Sat. Katie gets the box she feels how heavy it is so she knows it's candy, well she hands the box to the guys in her division and says here's some food for us all and she lets them open the box, well the guys open it and they find 2 photo albums in the box so they pull them out and start looking at them, they were all pics of Katie from her being a baby on up to now LOL she said I said give me those well of course they wouldn't give them to her until everyone in the room saw them, she said u tell Grandma I was so Red and tell her Everyone has now seen all of my baby pictures!! I said but didn't u like them she said yes but it just made me miss all of you really bad. Next time she'll open her own box LOL!!!
I'm sure you all have heard about the Pirates being killed after boarding a US ship well this is the Ship that my son in law is going too USS Sterett that's scary!!
here's an article if anyone wants to read it
http://www.sacbee.com/2011/02/22/3422593/for-couple-killed-by-somal...KTSN - so happy about your dog! We are taking care of my sons dogs for him and I worry about them like they were kids. My hubby just shakes his head at me.
Wow, a massage for $10....maybe we all need to book us a trip! LOL! I would also love a pedicure and manicure, that is one thing I have never done, have paid for my daughter to have them, but never myself. Oh well one day maybe. :)
That's cool about the Blue Ridge Emblem being on the show!!
TY all for the prayers we see the Heart Dr. today at 10:00
I was finally able to get a hold of Katie, thank god for this group because that's how I got a message to her. I have added a few of the kids to my FB, I sent Danielle and Brett a message telling them that if they saw Katie to please tell her to call home. Brett works in the same division as her and he gave her the message and she called. I just hate giving her bad news when I'm so far away she started crying I wanted to reach through the phone and give her a hug. We Have a Great Group Here!!!
