This is happening way too often.  We live in Colorado Springs, so it was "our turn" last Friday.  And on Halloween.

Oh no, B'sNuke, be safe!!! Why is this happening? So sad! Just be safe! <N4M hugs>

My day started out well but then there was a shooting in San Bernardino - about 15-20 minutes from where I work.  The shooters (possibly 3) are still at large - over 20 confirmed injured & they say there are fatalities.....been going on for a couple of hours now.  Senseless violence....I just don't get it.

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on December 2, 2015 at 11:55am

boconavymom, hope all works out with graduation. But just seeing you again in person will mean a lot.

COTwin, HOOYAH!! I love your web site. I wish you every success. I may just have to put in an order. :^D

Holidays without the kiddoes is tough, isn't it? Hang in there, Sea Sisters! We'll get through these holidays together!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 2, 2015 at 11:28am

Hi all - Happy Wednesday!

Buzzbeck - glad you had a nice time in Charleston - beautiful place to visit!  I'll bet your sailor was happy for the visit too!  There are no official photos taken - maybe you can find someone on here who is going & PM them your sailors name & they can get pictures for you.

britefuture - yep, I imagine they aren't used to having much "down" time lol!  Tell him to enjoy the quiet while he can ;-)

boconavymom - sorry you won't have your sailor for the holiday's.  Hopefully he has a good group of buddies in proto & they can all hang out together for Christmas.  That's what mine did last year - they all got dressed up in their suits & had a nice "formal" dinner at one of their buddies houses.  I got some nice pictures ;-)  Won't get to see him this Christmas as the Truman is deployed...

Comment by Buzzbeck on December 1, 2015 at 11:53pm

Hi all, I just returned from my first trip to Charleston to visit our sailor, and it was a very nice week, thanks to your advice on this site, ladies. It was a heavenly 70 deg when I left Charleston, and 32 deg and freezing rain back here at home in the NW. I do believe that the home cooked Thanksgiving meal, reassuring words, and just hanging out was what our sailor needed. I'll  miss A School graduation this Friday, but that's OK. Are any official photos taken?

Comment by britefuture on December 1, 2015 at 11:08pm

CO-Twin- Yay congrats! Finally! What a fantastic journey. I love the website and the idea of making/picking your own ingredients. I'm so happy for you.

boconavymom- wow the end is coming, hopefully graduation will happen while you are there. I don't recall where you are from however, when I was up there in March for my sons graduation, it was -4 degrees and lots of snow. Burrrrrr, it was bone chilling cold.

My crazy Sailor is sitting next to me playing on his computer. He's struggling with what to do while he's home. I suppose he's so used to having someone tell him what to do and when to do it that when he's here, he feels a bit lost. It's been raining here for the past few days so I can't even put him on a tractor to do some work. Darn it!!!!!!!! 

I hope you are all well and gearing up for more holiday time.
