Redsmom - I sent you a PM.
The website has some issues that we have been unable to resolve. I suggest everyone (if you can) try to check in at least once or twice a week since the notifications don't always work.
Hope everyone is doing well - B is finishing up this semester of college in VA and then he's moving to MI in May - where his GF lives (she was also Navy). She goes to MSU and his plan is to transfer there too. Thank goodness for the GI Bill for college! He still has many friends on the Truman so he keeps me up to date on what is going on. I continue to keep all of your sailors in my prayers!
Hi Everyone! How are you? I am not being notified when posts happen here! It stopped when the switch to the "new" website happened. Anyone know why? Also, sometimes my post doesn't stay posted. Again, know why?
Hi Everyone! I'm so glad to see y'all chatting again! I don't know what's going on but I am not getting these post notifications emailed to me anymore! Anyone have any ideas why that stopped?
Yvonne and John,
I just saw your post. Thank you for the wonderful offer for my sailor. I will pass that on to him. Seems like they are all so busy right now getting ready. You are wonderful to do that for our guys and girls out there...bless you both!
Thanks B'sNukeMoM, you do the same.
Hi all - Happy Thursday!
Boy Norfolk is getting slammed with this storm. B has been in Michigan visiting his GF and his flight back to Norfolk was cancelled yesterday, cancelled again today and now moved to Saturday. Hopefully things will be cleared by then so he can get back.
Here's a picture his roommate sent him of their backyard:
Bernapet,
I know your son will be around this month and we would like to invite him over to our home on the weekends. There is another sailor from the Truman who comes over with his wife. We play board games and eat together on Saturday evenings and on Sunday I make a home cooked meal with homemade bread and dessert. saturdays at 5 and Sundays at 1. Let me know if he's interested.
Yvonne and John
Hi All! I stopped getting notifications and guessed that everyone was busy enjoying visits from their sailors! Didn't realize that somehow I stopped "following" N4M!! Sure didn't intend for that to happen! I have to agree with Bernapet, it never gets easier to see them leave.
