Nice pictures of Sonya! She looks great! Vey healthy!
You won't believe what happened today...it is such a small world (after all!)
One of the ladies from our homeschool group invited us over to spend the afternoon, so her son could play with my boys and so she could have someone to visit with! The kids were playing and we were having a nice chat over lemonade when guess what we hear...thunk thunk thunk! The jedis and I both shreiked "HELICOPTER!" and I leapt up from the couch and the boys and I dashed for the front door WHICH WAS LOCKED and I didn't get out in time to wave, but got out in time to see a Black Hawk swooping overheard toward our house (a couple of miles away)!
Needless to say, our hostess was slightly startled by the display and I had some 'splainin' to do. So I explained it all, we talked about it for a long time, I even showed her the letter I wrote to them (which I posted here in the Hole) and the letter with the patch and the picture of my family with the Black Hawk. I told her about the guy that knocked on our door and invited us to tour the unit. She seemed impressed and actually became emotional at one point!
Then she said "You know, my parents live next to a guy that's part of the Army National Guard...I believe he said he WORKS on Black Hawks...I'll ask him if he saw your letter!" I said "It's bound to be with this same unit, they are the only ones that are in this area...do your parents live here in Tulsa?" She said "Yes, they don't live too far from you..." then she mentioned the guy's name and it was the same guy that knocked on my door and invited us to the ARNG!
I nearly died! I said "See! Now you can ask him and he'll verify that I'm telling the truth!"
She's gonna ask him about it and tell him about how we dashed out of her house!
VEY small world, 2J.
Speaking of small worlds, I got a freepmail today from Old Sarge, who got one of our HH knives by way of Flying Dutchman. I thought I'd ping him to here, since he said he wanted to say thanks.
In the meantime, thank YOU, Old Sarge, for your service and patriotism.
LOL! It IS a small world!
