Emma, glad to hear you are doing good, for not walking. Has your elec. wheel chair arrieved yet? We have had really warmer weather here. Except for today, cold wind. So this is going to be an inside day. Had the dog last week end, so worked outside alot and I thought I was going to die. Havn't done all that trimming for a while, putting in the back of the pickup was hard also. Kenneth did unload it for me and that was a chore for him. But it tired the dog and me both out so we were in bed early. Carol and Tim went to San Diego for family day on our grandsons ship. USS Kidd 100. They really enjoyed it. They went 12 miles out in the ocean, and did all kinds of things. Had lunch for every one. One thing I didn't know when they pass another ship and which ever captain has the highest rank the others that are on deck have to salute. The submarine had higher rank so the guys had to salute. They probably had that set up, don't know. Then towards the end of the day they had the honors ceremony, I think it was called, and Nathan re-enlisted. First they have to discharge you and then you sign back up for six more which will make the 20 for him and then he can retire.. He will only be around 41 I believe at that time. The captain presented a folder with a letter in it from the navy to Katey his wife and also one to Carol that had about supporting the husband up along the way in the decisions and alot of time spent alone. Of course this was Katey's and Carols was about the same except for the mother doing this. I told Carol they will never know will they, there was alot of decisions along the way raising him on her own until she remarried when he was around 10. He is so soft hearted, and he still calls her every week end if possible. She took alot of pictures out there. They saw the schools of porposis (sp). (boy that sp was awful.) For some reason since they worked on the computer I don't have spell check any more. Iwas surprised at the big wake they put out behind the ship. I guess it shouldn't have surprised me as just a motor boat can do that also. They saw a whale way out through a spy glass. It was really a day they both enjoyed. Katey's parents were able to be there also and a couple of Nathans friends. Now he will probably have shore duty for a while. We are hopeing for San Diego.
