All I can think about is my dad today. He served, don't know or don't remember a whole lot about his time...and wish I did. Oh the things you don't care about when you are younger but want to know as an adult. I do know he was in Alaska as an air traffic controller but that is about it. Sad. Thanks Dad.
I also know that 2 cousins served in Vietnam. I remember watching on tv as a kid the pictures from Vietnam and wondering how they were doing. One seemed to be in towns all the time, and pics were sent - I remember a picture with a rickshaw in it with children too. We sent care packages quite a few times. A large jawbreaker from Farrell's Ice Cream was sent once. The other cousin saw a lot of battle time and didn't come back the same person. He was troubled through the rest of his life. Sad. He is gone and today I remember him. Thanks Steve.
A nephew served in the marines but I don't think he saw battle time either.
Thanks to all those that have served to protect the United States!

A lot...
A lot has happened since I last wrote here...but the best is a new baby boy! I can't believe he is here and another of my kids is a parent. If you are watching your own little ones have their own little ones it is just amazing. Wow, it has been a whirlwind of a few months. It started off rough for K but she is having fun and I love watching both of them with Benton. He seems to be a smiler! Hmmm, can't imagine where he got that!
Also started a new job! Hmmm, not sure I could handle much more at the time but so fun. It is a job right now and so much training but it is a big job too. We have finished the holidays and started right in with birthdays. My babies are getting older and all are so grown up.
We have been visiting in CBus a lot. Spent New Year's there too. We always have fun with R & B. So glad the kids could be there too - yes we missed J & K and little Miss Mac. She was ill that weekend and it really did her in; it is taking a bit of time to bounce back. We had her last night for our weekly "visitation"; I tease but I miss her so so much. She was so tired and just wanted to go to bed I think at 7. And we are just a bit selfish - we wanted her to stay up and play!
Hopefully, I can keep up a little better in the future. No promises!
