Re: Snow on the way

That's so sweet of you, Maureen! I'll pass along the message when I hear from her again. She started her A school last week, and though my SIL is also there, she still has to live in the barracks for a while, and he's staying at the Navy Lodge. I'm not sure what their Thanksgiving plans are. Thanks so much for the offer - I'll tell her!

(I think her complaints about the cold had something to do with it getting to or a little below freezing during her last week of boot camp. So she says, anyway. Remember, this is a kid who's spent her entire life in southern Arizona and southeast Texas! I have to wonder how she'll handle -10...)

Freezing to death?!!?? What kind of sailors are they kicking out these days? It's only in the 50s!! Of course it is damp and windy and even I've been complaining, but....

BTW, if she needs or wants off the base for Thanksgiving, I have room. I've got about 20 people coming so a couple more wont hurt. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that my son wont be here for the holidays :(

We're just thrilled at the prospect of rain here. Snow is such a rarity - you should've seen all the neighborhood kids last year when we had snow on the ground on Christmas morning! It was so cool. A lot of the kids had never seen snow before.

That being said, you have my deepest sympathy. I don't miss living where there's snow on the ground all winter.

(BTW, Maureen, my daughter says she's FREEZING TO DEATH in Chicago! I told her to just wait - she ain't seen nuthin' yet! <G>)
