too tall - glad I can make you laugh ;-)
I'm thinking maybe I'll just start walking again - it will be good for me and hopefully I can convince hubby to walk with me! It's just so hard after coming home from work....getting dinner ready & then it's dark - ugh! And we change the clocks this weekend so it will be even darker!! :( When my sailor left for BC 3 years ago I jumped rope....then I quit that. For a while I would run up & down my stairs for 15 minutes. I did that over the summer before we went to Mammoth (wanted to make sure I would be able to do the hikes!). My problem is I don't stick with anything....I'm just going to do it this time - I figure since my son will be on deployment the least I can do is pick something and stick with it! I'll use his deployment as my incentive....wish me luck!
too tall Joan & letyrod - enjoy your time with your sailors! And Happy 21st Birthday to yours letyrod! Our visit went way to fast ~~sigh~~
BoomMom - glad your sailor got to spend time with his wife & new son. Hard to believe his son could be close to walking when he returns! Wow - that really puts the whole deployment in perspective!
JakesMom - my son said wifi in port will be the best option for communication (besides ship emails). He's putting his cell phone on military suspension when he leaves.
I saw the info about the ornaments from the FRG but wasn't able to get it done....sounds like you did one BoomMom - I hope yours was one that was accepted!
After taking every day of leave available to be with his wife and new son, my son has finally gone back to work today. I think he was ready for guy time :) So happy for all of you who will be able to spend time with your sailors. B'sNuke mom... great picture! Thanks for the calling card advice. I will add it to a box (of which he asked for toilet paper.?., skittles, athletes food spray, etc.) Interesting list. It will be interesting to see if any of us got our White House Ornament accepted... and if they get them back at some point. Have a good night, all.
