I love those convenient pre-planned colds.

It makes life so much easier!

To all! An update on Eric:

Yesterday we got this postcard from Eric. On the back of it he said, "....we just shot our M16's in our protective masks, and this is what we looked like! Cool, eh? And, of course, I am BAD to the BONE!"

Eric's in Blue Phase now, the final phase of Basic Training, with only 3 weeks to go before graduation. (THANK YOU LORD!!!)

He is still loving it! In the next 3 weeks he will work with grenades and rocket launchers, go on bivouac, and go on 10k and 15k marches in full gear.

He passed his M16 marksmanship test on the first try, though he wanted to score higher (he doesn't want anybody to do better than he!).

He's enjoying being in the PT stud room with only 4 guys and says he sleeps better there.......wonder why? He still thinks the food is good, and is getting more homesick, but says that knowing that he'll see us in three weeks makes it OK. He's also still involved in Bible studies with some of the guys, and was going through Romans with a 27 year old friend who hadn't read a Bible since he was a kid.

I know that you'll forgive my pride when I say.....God is going to use this young man in a mighty way! He is so thrilled to be where God wants him to be, and would like continued prayer for protection against the language and sexual jokes, for the guys he's sharing Christ with, and for him to be used by God in the next few weeks.

Thank you for your prayers!!! You are faithful friends, and I thank God for each of you!!

It's next Friday that I am off...

Next Friday?...

I thought today was this Friday. Now I am really screwed up.

[Neets]

HEHEHEHEHEH..keep it up..you have me rolling on the floor here.

[Northern Yankee]

What great news about your son.

I can only imagine how proud you are of your son. (Heck, I am so darn proud of him, and I haven't even met him!!!)

Congratulations on raising such a fine son!

[CONSERVE]

The food is good. Except at breakfast when they serve grits.

[Northern Yankee]

Speaking of rolling on the floor...

A few years ago, when I was teaching my class about fire safety, we had a fireman come in and talk about what to do in case of a fire.

He then asked the students what they should do in case their clothes catch on fire, and one of my cerubs said... "You stop... rock and roll..."

We eventually got him straightened out!

"Gorgeous here. Cool with temps. around 52, and low dew points. (MOzie will love this!)

Mozie IS loving this!!!!!:) :) :) :) :)

[lysie]

A tad cooler? :-)

[Bitwhacker]

I was hoping next Friday was this Friday, too...funny how that happens! And Nita, there is NOTHING Timid about you!

[Jemian]

I KNOW you are proud of Eric. Keep posting his diary for us. I envision JemiansTerror in the same position in a few years.

I woke up at 4:00 this morning with a severe case of pre-travel jitters. Major butterflies in the stomach. If it gets worse I will really be sick. Time to start the dramamine.

[MozartLover]

:)

WAY more than a tad!!!!!!!:)

[MozartLover]

I was hoping this Friday was last Friday..........

[MozartLover]

FAVRE LOOKING SHARP.

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

God is going to use this young man in a mighty way!

I think so too. He is undertaking a just and noble duty.

I will offer prayers for his continued saftey in these trying times.

[Bitwhacker]

"Yeah, and I was hoping for ballet scholarship, but it just isn't in the cards, is it, baby?"

(Gratuitous Austin Powers reference...)

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

We do tend to worry about our FRiends..notice that??

Yes, I have. It is a good thing.

AND ITS A GOOD A.M. TO ALL OUT IN FREEPER LAND, USA FROM THE SUNNY MS GULY COAST, USA!!!!

Well, the kidnapper said 'I will not be taken alive' and the police said, 'OK' and they 'kilt' him hitting his body nine (thats 9) times. Radcliff had what you would call a bad day. Thank God the girls are OK cause they say he was on the way to kill them.

Went to the farm store yesterday and bought me another Mexican straw 'designer' hat, cost me a whopping $3.98, had to get me another, I killed my other hat while cutting the farm, limb knocked my hat off and I ran over it with the bush hogg, second time I have done this but this time there was no fixing it, I am sad though, I loved that ole hat.

I was plesed with the prices for the fence I am going to put up, a lot cheaper than I thought it would be. $12.95 for the corner post, $2.20 for the metal post, $89.95 for 330' of hog wire and $24.93 for 1320 feet of barb wire and, $2.15 a tube for Ben Gay. I am going to need several tubes of ole Ben before I get finished witht the fence for sure. How are these prices compared with those in your area, for you folks who have put up such fences. And oh yeah, please someome tell me how far to space the metal post, ever 15'?

Now that the 'greenies' have caused thousands of acres of out parks to be destroyed witht he fires, think something will be done about them? I understand more and more politicians are getting special waivers since little tommy d. said 'it ok for ya'll (opps, he is a yankee, it sould be 'you all') to burn but not MY state. He is such a jerk and thats with a capital J.

Off to see d and get my cup # 3 then cut her and my yards. I enjoy doing this as it gives me excercise. So, prayers for you to stay safe and free from illness and for those with special needs. Please, put OUR President W on top of your prayer list, he can use them from all the attacks he is getting and for the elderly, the 'grey bunch' is always there for you. Have a good day, a special good day.

[Neets]

And I wish EVERY DAY was next Friday!!! HAHAHAH....Can YOU imagine if that were the case??
