Been a little scarce here this week....

Have had word(sort of) about ds in Iraq...Found a web site for a CO Springs paper that have journalists embedded with Aaron's group. So have found out his group (2nd Squadron of the 3rd Armored Calavary) is patrolling the cities of Ramadi, Habbaniyah, and Fallujah west of Bagdad...Fallujah is where there has been trouble this week so have been a bit tense..I keep repeating my mantra....No news is good news...So have been preoccupied and not very cheery. If anyone is interested the web site is www.gazette.com Click on More on the war in Iraq. Have been reading what's going on here and sending hugs and prayers where needed!

Today dh and I are going to a nephew's Eagle Scout ceremony. Never been to one but have heard they are very nice.

Went shopping last night...dh had a gift certificate to use...Well we got paint, ate at Applebee's and ordered pictures for our guest room. Dh didn't use the gift Certificate...lol...Guess we have to make another trip.

Have a nice Saturday!

Hugs

RJ

RJ, I can hear the worry in your post. Hope by now you've heard from ds. At least the main fighting is over with, will pray that he stays safe. Any idea at all how long he'll be gone? If you could just put a big circle on your calendar for when he gets back, that would help a lot, I bet. Hang in there, my friend, we're all pulling for all of you!!!

Love those Home Depots and Lowes! They give me so many ideas!! Whatcha painting? Gotta love the honey-do lists too, keeps dh out of trouble, huh? LOL!

Take care! Hugs, Pam

I'm glad you received a little information, I know it's hard being so far away and not knowing what's going on, but at least the main fighting is over. Will continue to keep him in my prayers. You will enjoy the Eagle scout program, I have been to a few. They are nice and it is such an accomplishment for the boys. I'm hoping my ds will be there some day, but it's a struggle sometimes. Take care, Charlie

Thanks Char...Yes he is so far away. Like I said I go thru bouts of horrible lonliness and worry for him..Then it passes and I know he will be fine.

The ceremony was very very nice...a real tear jerker!

Hugs
