fantastic, Shirley. thanks for your input to make that happen. I know Mary (shivers Mary) wasn't able to come because it's too far now I'm hoping she can return since she lives in Maitland.
also, Mail seems to be having a hard time getting to the new addy, it gets there but takes just a little bit longer. I am thinking its because it brand new house! the kids have been having a bit of trouble at the Post office....They have to go and get the mail cause the mail person is not delivering ALL the mail at once...can't figure it out!! They have complained maybe it will change, we can only HOPE!
sorry ..Shawn JUST moved....new addy!!!! whoops..He actually moved the end of Aug. new addy,

the addy you sent the card to "was" correct but like I said he was in the middle of moving! I can't believe the post office just didn't forward the card??!!! Weird, thanks for thinking of him. He actually was in San Diego-working!! they were doing some ship repairs and is currently chug a lugging their way home as I type!
thanks again

Hi Jody,
the letter does explain it. and i've told everyone, that if everyone sent $1.00, we'd lots of money for fabric and shipping. And sending it on is a perfect way to help!
I'm sorry that you lost your job. You have a great looking family.
Jody, no letterhead, but have a logo that you can add to the top of a letter.

send me an email and I will send you the logo and you and copy and paste it to a letter. Sorry, we are still in the "building stages"
thanks!!!!
Thanks for the kind words...You couldn't tell by my "deployment sucks" graphics...LOL
All is fine..sailor is fine...happy heathly etc...so all is well....the longer they are in...it just seems the little things mean more and more.....times together are VERY precious...
OK Pat, I know a few Pats.....???

Hi Jody, your son was asked, well he must of thought it was not worth it (boys). I don't believe Stephen was offered that. I do believe that it does not works the same for everyone. I take it one day at a time, when Stephen finishes school we will see what the next step is. It can get to be to much information all at once. I am still working on the uniform allowance.lol
Thanks for the information about liberty at PNS. I wasn't sure if they would be allowed to stay at the hotel with us but from what you said it looks like they have to be back by midnight.
Well that says alot the way you brought up Justin, you did a good job, that is wonderful, some people are just smart, and some have to work very hard for their grades.
I understand, I understood about the kids getting the room, I just thought we should to have a break (only kidding). LOL That is wonderful that you trust him because having a room and having a bunch of kids is not always a good idea. Well that is nice, the parents sound good also, sometime when someone has money they are kinda not so nice, (you know what I mean).
