Hello everyone! N4M is back up!
Comment by Oleander on September 28, 2016 at 12:00pm

Morning!

Well ladies, we're still about 90 degrees, I sure would love some of your rain Oneofalot and cool days JayDee! It would be heaven to turn off the air conditioning.

No skiing for this Navy mom but we're already ramping up for our annual neighborhood Halloween contest. Had a pre-build pirate ship design get together last weekend. I'm ready to get started!

Good Morning to Everyone.
Ohio weather sounds like our weather here in Washington other then were in the 60's and raining. That will probably be they way it is all through fall. Looking forward to Spring. Even though I want snow this year. We didn't get any last year. Hope everyone has a fantastic day. Praying for you and your family Blondie.

Blondie praying for your family.
Comment by JayDee659 on September 28, 2016 at 7:37am

Good morning ladies!  

Blondie sounds like you have your plate full as always.  Don't know how you do it!  Prayers to you and yours!  

Anna sounds like you're having an exciting visit to the west coast.  How was Mt. Ranier?

Fall has finally arrived in the Ohio Valley.  We have night temps in the 40's & 50's and days in the 70's so open windows and the a/c is shut off!!!  We're getting ready to start ski patrol - our instructor refresher is Saturday.  I've been working out with a trainer and hopefully my knee will make it through another season.  I'm ready to ski!

Good Afternoon to Everyone. Aurora is heading to Disneyland. Christina is taking to visit friends. This kid might be 2 but she is fearless. Unfortunately mom won't be riding rides with her. Don't want Haley to come this early. Hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks Catsmom - I know it will be a totally different experience, just hoping some of this will help me get through when the time comes. : /

Prayers Blondie! lots of prayers and hugs!

Anna.....Oak Harbor?!? I hope you're safe! How did you like Mt Rainier?

Comment by Catsmom on September 24, 2016 at 11:40pm
Hi everyone. Hope all are well.

Oleander, good luck with the desensitizing from the underway. Deployment is a whole new experience. Hugs.

Anna, found some info on camp sites. San Clemente state beach has all hook ups. Could not find max size though. Phone # for them is 949-492-3156
There is also an RV park in Huntington Beach all hookups it is called Huntington by the sea. All hook ups. Parking for your size trailers. Their # is 714-536-3826. San Ofrey has no hook ups. Hope this helps. Not sure if you wanted near the ocean or further inland.
Comment by Oleander on September 23, 2016 at 10:53am

Hi everybody, happy Friday!

Sailors been underway since Monday. I'm sure all of this is helping to desensitize me for when she deploys. Doesn't mean I like it....

Fall is definitely in the air here in the desert - loving the cool morning breezes and daytime temps in the 80's.

Enjoy Mt Rainier Anna! I was there many years ago but remember it being majestic. Will you hike? Would love to see some pics.

Have a nice weekend everyone

Good Evening Everyone. Hope everyone is doing well. Work is still horrible but I'll get through it.
