Seaman Anoreth is “in funds” as my Irish folks would say, because she’s been at sea five months and unable to shop. Even after ordering a new computer, from Best Buy, at Pearl Harbor, she’s still loaded (I get her bank statement). I may ask her to kick in for our electric bill! (just kidding).

And here in the US, she can’t drink beer for another 18 months ... but we might “accidentally” leave some available ... I mean, you can’t chain the refrigerator closed, or Social Services will bust you.

If you’d like to send her a welcome home card, though, I’ll FReepmail the USMail address if you don’t have it already. I’ve got yours in my book! Did I send you a picture of Frank?

Oh, do, DO send the US Mail address! And the picture of Frank! Add exclamation points as needed, like parsley.

And tell Seaman Anoreth, "Welcome Home!!!" for me! I think anyone who is brave enough to serve our country should get a "dispensation" or something from the Feds. If she's old enough to enlist, she's old enough to have a drink!

My hubby and I always treat any uniformed soldier we see where we are dining. Be it McD's or Outback, they get a freebie on us with a stern warning to the cashier or waitperson NOT to tell them it was us. God bless and protect our brave servicemen and women!
