Hi Blondie
Welcome to Our Group!! as Kathy C said we are good at keeping up with each other and we all are always looking for pics. of each others Sailors LOL.
Molly the Macarena was at the next day at a Restaurant after they all had been drinking the Good Vodka LOL, shoot Katie said she couldn't figure out how to cut her steak up, she couldn't make the fork and knife work together LOL so Jonis cut it up for her.This was all before 2PM not even night yet LOL.
I would love to have been a fly on the wall watching all of this. She was heading back out yesterday, I can't wait to hear the next story LOL.

I talked to Katie earlier today she said she was getting ready to go back into the town, she said she slept so good after that Vodka she was going to find some more!!! LOL see she has a bad cold and cough she said that vodka really helped LOL
She said there was supposed to be lots of things going on today said there will be a parade and then fireworks tonight. What a way to end this deployment!! She sounded like she is having soo much funn, said everyone has been treating them soo good. I asked her how many people were with her at that wedding reception she said 8 of us total and they Welcomed Us All, said we had a Great time LOL!!!

Happy Mother's Day Everyone!! Hope You have a Great Day!! of course it would be better if all of our Sailors were home.
Katie called earlier and said that they have to wear there Dress blues everywhere they go in Russia, she said that as soon as they walked off the ship people were coming up to them and wanting to take a picture with them all, she said every where they went people were asking for a picture, she said we really feel welcomed. So she and her friends wanted to find a bar so they could try the Vodka that they've heard about, well they kept asking but couldn't find one, so they asked this one person and they pointed down this hill, she and her friends went down and into this place well there was a Russian wedding reception going on and they all walked in on it, she said the people came over and invited them all to stay, so she said they all had as much Vodka as they wanted for free and had a great time at this wedding reception LOL can u imagine being in another country not speaking the language and walking in on something like that.
