Well, big news of the hour, my granddaughter has a new friend. This guy has just come back from a 4 year deployment in Iraq, he was out side of Baghdad. I had a nice chat with him, he is looking for work and not coming up with anything that excites him, and as he said, there are no jobs around this area for him. He is thinking he may re-up for a return to Iraq. Very nice guy. I hugged him and thanked him for his service to our nation.

While in Iraq, he had received some stuff from some organization, I had the opportunity to tell him about Proud Patriots. He said he had no razor blades and a lot of that kind of item. It seems there are so many who are needy for the necessary items.

Santa was good to me, I recieved a paper shredder, and a new watch with a white leather band. I have missed my watch so much since I lost it last fall.
