Wow Half! That's is so wonderful to see. Last Thursday, the whole area had a send off for the Company C Unit of the 256th who were leaving for Fort Hood for training on our way to Iraq. Almost every tree and building along the route was decorated. I cried for about 2 hours after the send off.

Yesterday was yet another beautiful warm day here, the windows open with nice breezes flowing in. Tonight the moon is full and bright in the clear night sky. My grandchildren caught a couple dozen fireflies-lightning bugs and put them in a coffee can with both ends closed with a plastic lid so you could see all the fire lights flashing inside. Then the children released them and they are twinkling all over the back yard again. It's going to be a wonderful day to welcome home the troops, Half!

It's been a wonderful day so far!! I did have to go into work for a few hours but it was so peaceful and I got so much done without all the regular workday interruptions...yay! Then I hurried on home to catch my son's college radio DJ show from noon to 2pm and within the first 15 minutes of the show he said something like this, "..I'd like to thank my mom and dad for always being there for me as I have been growing up. I'm in college now, expanding my mind and hey!, I'm not robbing any banks....so thank you mom and dad". Now that just melted my heart when I heard him say that....what a good kidlet we've raised...he's one of three. DD called a bit ago and she's been promoted as a teacher for Sylvan Learning Center and this means more hours and more money for her...yay!! She's just about done with her 1st year working on her Masters/Credentialing program to become a teacher and I couldn't be prouder of this kid too! Then next Saturday (while I'm in Chicago with TVCHer's), my ds will be coming home from Cornell for the summer and it's looking good that he will get a summer intern job near our home in the area of his studies. Egbob and I feel so blessed with having these gorgeous kidlets!! Thanks for letting me give a shout out about my kids!!

guess this is the right place for this My dh was in the investment business. Two years ago he was offered early retirment. After I told him he could hang around here anymore, he started his 2nd career as a custom home builder (with a partner teaching him it from the ground up). Well, they close today on their first spec home!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of him. This house is just beautiful. AND, they just signed contracts to do a 5,000 sf custom home and a 2,400 sf addition (the size of my whole house! LOL). He is so happy and having the best time!
