I forgot to share 2 funny stories. Both were created by my granddaughter Emma.

1. Yesterday Emma tripped over her brother's feet and hit the kitchen floor hard. naturally I went to pick her up and was told by her mom not too.  Tessa was worried Emma had hit her head and wanted to see if Emma would stand up and respond to us.  Emma got up fine and came to me for cuddles and a back rub. Tessa then asked: "Emma, what did you hit?". Emma: "I, I hit the floor."  At that moment I lost it - and trying so hard not to laugh out loud. Tessa: " Emma, I thought you might have hit your head".  Emma: " NO, I hit the floor!".  At that point laughter could not be held in. 

2. Today, both grandkids were helping to make dinner.  Emma asked to lick the butter off the knife.  So I said ok.  I turned just in time to see her trying to place that knife back into the drawer.  I asked her not to and she stated very frankly : " Well, I licked it cleaned."  At that moment trying to explain about germs and laughing again. 

Thought I share

HI !!!!!

thank you Kim and Chris.  My gossip tank is almost full - there are a few of you other Pan Moms that could check in.

WOW Chris !!! And I mean WOW!.  From your sailor to your daughter , making quilts ( agree with Kim post some pictures), joining the Grandma club and a possible cruise to Antarctica - now that's a ride. Fingers cross for you sailor to feel better and get the job he wants.  Oh yes the rules of raising a child.  I believe that will last about 2 months. its the baby that sets the rules. I wish you all the best  hugs

Hi Kim . Tickled Flamingo Pink to hear from you.  Well, glad you are almost retried. And working from home does have it perks. Cyber Security has to be tough and rewarding at the same time.  Fingers crossed he gets Norfolk. Do wish your grandson and Daughter n law a fun trip back to Japan.  And I know about a house who NEEDS cleaning too.

That's mine.  I am right now in my final details of Cub Scout Day camp activities. this July will be my last at teaching at Day Camps. I need a break. My sailor has been touring a few European Countries for trainings.  when he gets back. I'll share where. But he has called when he has been bored and I can say I had a fun trip with him driving through the many countries and sight seeing through his eyes.  I can say he enjoyed himself and that he ate well. He sent pictures of his meals. I was drooling from one picture - it was a doubled  layered chocolate cake with chocolate icing. Oh what huge layers too. I know I gained 5 pounds just by looking at the picture. 

Otherwise - busy trying to keep up with 2 grandkids and Cub Scouting.  

Thank you for sharing. Wish you all a good week  hugs

Comment by Kim yesterday

Hi Chris, I enjoyed meeting you in Jacksonville.  I'm sorry to hear about your son.  My son in the navy has less than a year to go on his degree in cyber security from Purdue online.  He highly recommends it.  He took free MIT courses when he was stuck in Guam during Covid and found what he loves.  Purdue was generous giving him credit for past college courses and the navy pays so much a year (otherwise he would be done by now).  Also, welcome to the grandma club.  Please post pictures of those quilts!

Wendy, Walter Reed is a great vacation.  My youngest lives in that general area.  Housing is expensive but he should find something.

Blondie, I am sorry to hear about your friend.  Great news on your husbands retirement.  Now he is your employee 100%.  LOL.

TLynn, I am late for roll call.  I am still working part time.  About 16 hours a week but 100% remote.  My sailor is looking at new orders for a year from now.  I have my fingers crossed for Norfolk.  His wife and son are headed to Japan this week.  I just had them all for a visit and my house is suddenly quiet.

I have to run.  This house is in desperate need of cleaning.

Hi All,

signing in

1 here's my life in a nutshell:

Son getting medical discharge after 12 yr due to blood clots in his lungs. Almost died, they didn't diagnose it on his first 2-3 visits to the hospital.....grrr. But he is on blood thinners for the rest of his life and has been deemed unfit for duty. At least he got to Japan before this happened. He is going back to school and has been networking for whichever way the decision went . He says he is ok with it, and frankly, I am glad with the sh!t going on in the world. He has made some great friends.

My daughter is due in late Sept with her first child, a boy. She's a mess. Already laying the ground rules like grandparents don't know how to raise a child. smh. maybe she'll lighten up, or keep the kid away from us if we don't comply. Married on paper last Oct for benefits, glad she did cuz her delivery is FREE with new insurance. woop, and he is a nice guy. Of course the wedding is in Nov, about 6 weeks post partum, won't that be fun lol. She needs to control everything, so she's doing all the "stuff" (decor, planning...) without asking for any help. actually declines help. oh well.

just ask that any responses to this email/me, are very generic here as my email is read by my husband, and he has very strong opinions about what I should share or allow others to be involved.

Went down to 2 days a week at work last Nov and am busier than ever at home taking care of Mom and life here. Would retire but too young for medicare and need healthcare. My job allows PT to keep benefits after 59.5 yr old. Mom and I are going to Antarctica on a cruise in Jan 25 (at least for now, lol). gotta get that wheelchair order to go thru!!

I did take up quilting as a hobby for my retirement. Made 6 for family so far, all seem to like them. Learning from every one! lol Mom asked me for something quilted to put in her casket, so made her a bookmark since shel loves to read.

headed to next chore--would love to take anyone to lunch who comes to Jax! I totally enjoyed Kim! 

Take care of yourselves adn thanks for listening. Glad to know we can vent (don't remember if I've told you all of this already either.) Gotta save to go see my son, he's staying in HO for now, as he bought a home and will be going to school there. There are many worse places he could be, right?

Hi, my son is leaving Oki next month, headed to Walter Reed for his residency. I'm excited to have him back in states and on East Coast.

Love reading and catching up!   No time or energy to post.  That's right my batteries are running down.  Hoping to get a recharge this weekend and then Texas again in April. 

We lost a very dear friend after 2 and half years fighting prostrate cancer.  I don't remember life without Larry.  It was always a joke that he was my second husband. (If any thing happened to my husband)  My husband was best friends with him, my brothers, sister in law.... We were connected through 3 different families and non of them blood!  That's what happens when you live in small town Ohio. When Plymouth had a ball game, we'd go over and do his chores so he could stay after school and catch the bus to game with team.  When Pops passed away, he was at our house making supper, feeding the dogs making sure the lights were on.... He lived with us 3  times, my kids called him Uncle.  Every Christmas Eve he was there putting toys together and every Christmas morning there before 8:00 for breakfast and gifts.... So many memories!

My youngest son was hospitalized with only 32% kidney function, high BP and heart....This is the son with kidney disease. He's been in remission for almost 20 years!  Couldn't do dialysis because they were afraid they'd blow!  He's now on 3 different BP meds. a heart pill and a kidney pill. They can't even do another biopsy until they get his BP and heart under control. 

Our house is under construction, my Hubby started the master bedroom(old living room) so the now master bedroom will become a closet/dressing room and master bath on other side of that. I NEED that walk in shower!  Ugg. So Hubby finally gave his 2 weeks notice and is Finally retiring! 

Heard from Texas girl over lunch, they bought a house!  Further not closer to us. :(  We were hoping for TN but they went for Houston oh well just a longer flight. 

Gotta run office getting Busy (Again)
