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.

Happy Birthday Dan and Tiff

Happy birthday to two people I love more than anything. Have a wonderful day D and T! And I don't know why but I get the feeling that Dan might be thinking of getting a tattoo as his present. Well, that is fine as long as he follows in his grandpa Roger's footsteps and get's a heart with his wifes name in it. More to follow on Sailor boy and his Mrs.

Dreary day in May

What an ugly, shitty day in May this is. It reminds me of the day I took Danny home from the hospital a few days after giving birth on Mother's Day 25 years ago. That shot the shit out of any future mother's day's for me but what could I have asked for as a better present on my first mom's day than to get my wonderful son. Watch for posting in a couple days for me to give a shout out to him and his beautiful wife, May 12th will be their birthdays.

Happy Birthday Hubby and Happy Anniversary D and T

Just sending a shout out to the husband for his birthday and to D and T for their 1st anniversary. It's also National Poem in Your Pocket day. Told Dave that since he always has a small notebook in his pocket with poems written down that he should consider this his holiday! From now until forever in lew of the birthday Dave has proclaimed he will only celebrate National Poem in Your Pocket day on April 29th! Presentation of poems to be announced later...

Sock Monkey Birthday

SHHH... Don't tell my little sis that when I get to Oregon next week for a visit and a belated birthday celebration for her, it will be Sockmonkey heaven! Will be heading to the fabric store today hoping to find some Sockmonkey material. After all she might want to make herself and Sockmonkey matching outfits. Will perues other stores for Sockmonkey accessories. Wish me luck.

April 1st.

Hey guess what! I get to retire, my sister won the lottery and is going to support me. Oh and the sailor boy just got back in to port but there has been a emergency recall of all the sailors on board so they will be deploying in 72 hours and he'll get back to me in December. Gosh that will be a long time to go without hearing from him. Wait a minute, do you think those were April Fools jokes? Have a great April and a Happy Easter.
