'Tis the Season to be...

Yes, I know. I am here and then I'm not. Only so much time for computer shenanigans and FB is such a time suck that WU fell by the wayside the past 18 months except for lurking during storms. And yes, I surrendered to FB - mostly because of staying in touch with the kids.

All is well. We just completed a move to Rhode Island and will be living near Newport for the next tour of duty. At least a year, maybe 3 - who knows in this crazy military life. :)

Very weird to have moved without any kids - I have no handy slave labor to help unpack the hundreds of boxes of STUFF accumulated over the years. Smaller house here, so I thank goodness for a large basement.

Still waiting for the WARM weather that the locals claim exists here in the summer - maybe the incoming warm front will bring some for a day or two. In the meantime, I will keep wearing jeans and my sweatshirt jacket. The L&M thinks about long johns nearly every day, but I won't let him have them until fall. Of course, in southern New England, fall may arrive next week, LOL.

I'm staying busy weather wise by keeping an eye out to the far South and watching weather with Surfie and a friend in the Caymans. Looks like rain for Ogal by Friday, too.

12/27 -Officially we had over 13 inches at the airport - some areas of course, got a bit more!12/26 - 6 inches and counting - snow is getting larger, faster, and it's awfully windy so we may lose power off and on.Internet is spotty. Most of you who visit here also pop into Proserpina's blog, so I will post there as I get the chance.12/20Well, the L&M must have changed the time instead of the alarm last night. Beep, Beep, Beep - he looks at the alarm and flies out ...

I first wrote this as a note to the families of a command we served at ten years ago, shortly after the USS Cole was attacked and bombed - but I think that with a tweak or two, it will do just fine to share my thoughts this year as well. (I must be getting set in my ways as I get older, LOL)All the best to each of my WU friends and their families - fur babies, too!**** I took a look recently at what I need to get done for the holiday season and nearly stressed out ...

This entry is 'under construction" - and has been for 6 or 7 weeks now.Short version is this (and I promise to try to get the links up tonight!) ...In 1970 - when salty old Sailors used to say that 'wives don't come in your seabag', Admiral Elmo Zumwalt forever changed the way the US Navy deals with family members on the homefront. He created the Family Ombudsman program specifically so that spouses (mostly wives, then) had an official 'voice' to relay information...

The L&M gets home later today, and we are taking off this afternoon on a weekend jaunt with EllieRose to take a look at a couple of colleges. Son will just have to suffer a weekend at home without the 'rents, LOL. After all, SOMEONE has to dog sit.It's going to be crisp up in the mountains - I may have to dig out the thermals for the L&M!Hugs to all, will let you know how we survived the 6 hour trek just to walk around campuses. You know - I really don't remember...
