Hi all. For any late nighters. See you in the morning. 0745 .......I'll try to be on watch at First Watch for all of you. I did venture down to see the place and just want to say even though the address says 700 Walnut you have to walk just around the corner and enter on 7th street. Not sure why but don't worry we are there at First Watch and the phone number is 513-721-4744.

Kim,

Just want to thank you for arranging the breakfast this morning. It was very nice to meet some of the local Navy Moms. We'll have to keep the momemtum going and arrange for regular gatherings. Maybe some lunch gatherings on a Saturday in the future.

You are so welcome. I was happy we had a great turnout. I've been out of town since that Friday until tonight and just back in town. I will try to work out some more gatherings. Were you able to go Saturday or Sunday and pass out the fliers for Navy Moms? How did that go? I appreciate your willingness to help out on that.

Had a wonderful breakfast with the Navy Officers and Navy moms this morning! Thank you so much ktssong for organizing this! I hope we moms can start getting together every few weeks or so!

I would like to get together again also. Hopefully we can work that out. It seemed to be just what all of us needed. My son loved seeing the pictures I took. He was looking at the ribbons on the Officers that were with us. He was impressed.

Kim,

Thank you for arranging the breakfast this morning. It was nice to be able to meet some of the other moms that are on this site as well as the Navy officers. I wish I could have stayed longer.

I agree with Pat and Christy that it would be nice to have lunch together sometime again.

Thanks again,

Lisa

Thank you for coming Lisa. I was so happy we had such a good turn out. It will definitely call for another gathering. We really seemed to encourage each other and learn alot.
