New Blog Background

Like the new blog background? It's just too darn cute for words! Thanks Laura, although I did get another template that I like for the typed out part. Now I guess I have to make post more often. See you later.

Hey what happened to my background? Laura, help!

Losing someone dear

Well, I did survive saying goodbye to my dear friend Lynn at her memorial service. It was touch and go there for awhile, cried until my face turned red and luckily Vicki had tissues in her purse to share. We knew each other for 30 years and in all that time we laughed and cried and partied. She met Tim and got to have her boys, they built a wonderful life together. The 3 or so years that she was battling cancer were tough on that little body of hers so I think like people say we should be grateful that she is no longer in pain. So Lynn, watch for letters to heaven that I'll be writing you. And watch your boys become the great men that you always meant them to grow up to be. You will be forever in my heart. RIP Lynn...

Sleepless summer so far...

Saw summer solstice come along and finally some warm weather. So here's the latest. The sailor boy is somewhere near the Arabian Sea, I can only let that spill because the Navy tells everyone all over the whole internet so I'm not going to bother worrying about loose lips. Although the month of June has been a very sleepless one between my menopausal hot flashes and the sailor boy calling in the middle of the night. Nothing you can do about the midnight calls since he's 12 hours ahead but guess I should go shopping at the health food aisle for a homeopathic help for the night sweats. Stay safe and sane on this 4th weekend. Future posting regarding sailor boy and life in general to come.

Sailor Boy sees France

Update time. Tiff and Ash made it home safe and sound after crossing the US with the nice car Dan bought back in VA. They hit every kind of weather you can imagine, the worst being in Nebraska when the town tornado warning horn kept going off. Then last week the Sailor called to let us know how jazzed he was about going through the Straits of Gibralter and seeing two continents at the same time. Now the latest news is that the Truman is in port in Mersaille (or however that's spelled) on the Mediteranean coast of France. He's looking forward to trying to get liberty and heading off to visit the countryside and trying some local wines. Will keep you posted.

Sailor Boy @ Sea

Well, the sailor boy has deployed as of May 21st. Can't tell you where he's headed though, loose lips sink ships. And Mrs. Sailor and her sis new Mrs. Sailor (Ash and Andy got married last Monday!) are heading home from VA, dodging tornados and thunders storms as they go. Will keep you posted as time allows.
