Shirley, Congratulations to Steven on a very smooth transition. I wish him all the best with his future plans and I am glad he is very "Happy" with his decision. I am not sure at this moment, but I think Christopher will probably be considering to do the the same in a couple of years. It is still to soon to tell what a couple of years could bring with his life in the Navy.  It was great to hear from you, & that was "Too" funny to know that Steven was already home, & you were out in San Diego when the sub pulled in !!!!    :)

Ironically, as my son was home in Jersey, I was in San Diego on vacation when the San Francisico came home from deployment.  Steven is happy to be home, out of the Navy and attending college.  His transition into civilian life was smooth as the Navy personnel was thorough with setting up his education and his move back home. There is no doubt he has made life long friends while serving, and has opted to be a part of the Navy Reserves at this time.  I keep your son's in my prayers that they are safe and healthy.  ~ Shirl

That sounds great, Susan.  I'm going to the beach later today (by myself, a first) and relax for a few hours.  I talked to Aaron yesterday.  He's excited about his car and he loves his new apartment.  He sounded so happy.  I don't know if he got to go to the celebration.  He didn't say.

Congratulations Sally!!!! The sonograms today are absolutely GREAT!!!! The details are soooo AMAZING!!!!! We are already saying that Stephanie's baby has facial features of Ryan.My husband & I are (Mi Mi & Pop Pop). Mi Mi because our first grandchild Patrick, would only pronounce the (ending) sound of Grammy, and Pop Pop b/c that's what all of our kids called Michael's father. All of the crew had a very special day yesterday. It was their San Francisco 711 celebration (party) at a Park.  IF you didn't have duty, then you would be able to attend. I am very anxious to hear from Christopher about the day. It sounded like it would be a lot of FUN!!!!! Betsy, we are all anxious to find out if your son has been assigned to the San Francisco, keep us informed!! If he's not, it would be great to hear what goes on with another sub's crew. Colleen, I bet you would make a Great Grandma some day!!! Cath...Happy 27th Birthday to Josh!!!!! Deb, I wish we could all be in the SPA together reminising about out conversations!!!! Love To You All   :)

No, Cath.  He was on the San Francisco until after the last deployment. He is now going to teach at "A" school at nuke school in Charleston. As for the reflux, I am doing better, thank you.  I started a new med that you take once a day for two weeks.  I am hoping that it will keep me from having any attacks when I am on my trip. I have started the first leg of my journey.  I have driven to my cousin's house 3 hours away.  She lives ten minutes from the airport I am leaving from. We just got done relaxing in her spa and now we are heading to bed.

It's so cool that y'all are getting grandbabies.  The closest I have is my niece's baby girl who will be two next month.  I get to see her when I go visit.  I can't wait to become a grandmother.  None of my kids are even close.

Yup, that's how Christopher recognizes their names, by their last name, or nickname.Congratulations Cathy on your second grandchild coming. Does your oldest son live close to you? Deborah, I am happy to hear about J and his work schedule. Like I said, Christopher absolutely loved it there, and got very close to the people he worked with. Everyone was "One" big Happy Family and respected each other!!!!!   :)   The storms (lightening) can be pretty bad at times. They seem to flair up very fast, but otherwise, the weather can be perfect!!! It sounds like you have a great couple of weeks ahead of you.....ENJOY IT.....!!!!!! But Deb, make sure you keep on top of your medical issue too. Colleen, I bet you must be soooo excited about visiting your family in August! I "love" taking vacation in August, but this year we will be blessed with a new grandchild, I couldn't ask for anything more!!!!!   :)

Hi Betsy! My son is J but he is no longer on the San Francisco.  The girls made me promise to check in so here goes.  I leave to go to my cousin's house in Upland tomorrow. Early Tuesday morning, I leave from Ontario to go to D.C.! I will meet friends there and we will do the tour.  Then we will visit others in West Virginia and Virginia.  On Wed. the 20th, I will go to Charleston to see J and his wife.  Susan, you were right.  J loves the hours he is keeping.  He says he can sit on the couch and watch a movie with Bay after work, and not fall asleep. Bay is not thrilled with the thunder storms.  In California, almost all our rain is in the winter months, so she is having to adjust. Colleen, my doctor put me on allergy medicine as well as medicine for acid reflux.  Pray for me guys, I thought I was having trouble with my gall bladder but I can't since it was taken out in Jan '10! So the doctor thinks it is acid reflux. It is great to keep up with all of you!

Susan, you do have a lot on your plate!  We're about an hour or so from the beaches, depending on which beach.  My allergies are still acting up, though not as bad.  This summer is easy going so far.  I'm going to visit my family in August.  I haven't heard from Aaron for awhile, but then no news is good news.

Welcome Betsy!! Christopher is my son's name. He is an electrical technician (ET1). As of right now, the sub is in dry dock for a while, so it won't be leaving port for quite some time. But there is a lot of work that needs to be done. Is your son assigned to the USS San Francisco? Colleen, how far is the beach from you & how are your allergies? Sally, it's always great to hear from you. And Cathy, I'm glad to know I'm not alone with all my worries, hah,hah!! Right no I have a lot on my plate. My daughter is due with her 2cnd child Sept.4th. I am planning a baby shower for her in a couple of weeks, we have to make settlement on a house in Atlanta GA, 3 weeks from now, but we are not moving until 2 weeks after the baby is born, but I will probably be coming back soon after that b/c my mom has to have hip surgery. My youngest son is on leave & he came home last night for a couple of days. YAHOO!! OK, I think I am out of breath!! Everyone, have a great weekend!!!    :)
