Heard from mine on Thursday. Several short emails. All seemed to be well.
I think some sailors have more access to email than others.... Maybe the job, timing, or they just too tired to wait for a computer.... Mine has problems sleeping sometimes.... So I think that's why I hear from him more.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

IFC wife... Where are y'all from in Louisiana? We are in Baton Rouge. I'm gonna have to look and see what y'all are doing with these mason jars.
I heard from mine today. He signed up for a fishing trip and a snorkeling trip.... Sounds like they might b headed to a port!!!
Btw..... I am going to get a passport.... Hopefully I will only need it for fun trips!
A friend of mine that travels all over the world... Told me I should get one, just in case I needed to get on a plane in a hurry to be with mine! So... Something to think about.
Roni... Love how he NEEDS these cookies!! I am working on a large order to ship to all the crew.... Will let y'all know how many I end up sending! mine also gave me an order of cookies!
Everyone.... Take care!

Roni- Try to send them in the flat rate postal boxes. no matter how much it weights it ships for like $12 something I think. That's how we would have done my husbands stuff but he had 2 40lbs packages, so that wasnt really an option.

Thank you girls for the information I really appreciate it! You girls are wonderful!

Southngal, I use my mason jars for the same thing. We can't live without sweet tea. Were both from southern Louisiana and were raised on the stuff. But I suppose I could go out and buy more to learn how to make the jar cakes. And if all else fails and I can't figure it out tha'ts just more sweet tea glasses.
I will let you guys know when I try it later this week. If any of you get around to it before me, I'd sure like to know how it went for you!!
1 month and 3 days before we leave San Diego and head over to Florida!!

IDC Wife: That is an awesome idea! I love it!
Has anyone heard from the guys? Just curious, I haven't heard from mine in a few days....And can someone email the info for our Ombudsman bc my wonderful husband didn't give me any information! Thanks Ladies!

Ran across a very cool idea. Think I may start practicing so that when my husband joins the ship I will hopefully have the process perfected.

If any of you have done anything similar I would love if you would share.

southngal: I am only assuming because he recently told me that he saved his first boat, and he is a driver of one of a shims and I think this is their 1st boat save they have had. But see once family sees it I don't have to explain just brag.
