I wonder if our sons have some kind of radar. The first call I missed was because I was in the restroom. I thought it was while I was out, but I checked the time and I should have been home. So, I must have been in the bathroom????

I've missed two calls from Scott in two days. He had two years of Spanish in High School. I wonder if he will remember enough of it to use while he's in Rota. So glad to hear they're enjoying their time topside.

I just heard from Alex and he is loving his time in Rota, Spain. He just wishes that he had taken Spanish while he was in high school. He was on his way to Cadiz when he called. He also said he loves the food. That was a shock to me because Alex is a really picky eater, or at least he was before he joined the Navy. He is also going on a tour to Gibraltar. I'm really looking forward to seeing his pictures.

He said he bought a burn phone so he could call home. He took his I Pad, so he can get regular e-mail when they get to port. It was sooooo good the hear his voice.

Scott has mentioned that he finds it cold on the sub but at least Scott likes the cold better than the heat. He's excited about stopping in foreign ports and said he took his camera along. Oh, and the AC got fixed at the end of the day. I had to stay an extra hour but it was worth it.

I bet those stories would make Scott feel a whole lot better. Alex is always telling me that the sub is always too hot or too cold.

I will check it out LLovesmysailor. If I find a shirt like that I'll get Scott one. Well, I had to make a bunch of calls because I kept getting passed off and no one was telling me if they were coming to fix the AC or not. Supposedly someone will be here by 4 and get 'er done. In 25 years I have never had the experiences I have since February. In Feb we lost power in an ice storm and had no heat in the building for over a day (and it was extremely cold) and now no air on the hottest day of summer so far. I guess I will have some stories to tell because I'm retiring next February.

No air conditioning? Isn't that some kind of abuse. I guess I'm just lucky that my studio is in my home. Although, with all the machines and iron on it does hit close to 80 degrees. But knowing you don't have air conditioning at work, I won't complain.

I'm going to send Alex an e-mail telling him that I've got the tee shirt and he can tell me what he wants me to do. Since he always tells me that being in dry dock it like being in Hell, maybe I'll save it for their next trip to dry dock. Maybe you should take a drive to Hell and see if they have any tee shirts. Might be funny to have two sailor with tee shirts from Hell. LOL

Hi, LLovesmysailor, sounds like it's worth hanging onto until you know for sure he'll get it. We have a tiny town in Michigan called Hell but I've never visited. I think I will feel like I'm in hell tomorrow at work with no air conditioning :-)

Hi all, Its getting unbelievably hot here also. It will be in the 90s all week here. I'm planning on hibernating for most of the week.

 I bought Alex a tee shirt the last time we were on vacation. I was suppose to give it to him before he left. Unfortunately, we couldn't find it when we got home. We thought we lost it while travelling. Last night we found the tee shirt, but now I'm not sure if I should send it to him or wait until we see him again. We bought it while we were in a town in the Cayman Islands, in a town called Hell. It says "I'd rather be in Hell than at work". I would mail it to the boat, but I"m afraid it will get lost for good this time????

Hi, Ladies. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday. In lower Michigan we are expecting a week of high 90 degree temps...very unusual for Michigan. We had one summer recently where we never hit 90 at all! By the middle of the week we'll be experiencing triple digit heat index but with higher humidity than the western states. At least in MIchigan, we know that weather changes up every so often so relief will hopefully be around the following week. Makes me appreciate what our sailors/military go through with often unbearable conditions. The Miami is in my prayers daily.
