A Few Of FR's Finest....Every Day....11-26-03....Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse

They go near the Jupiter Inlet and anchor - on an island there is a restaurant where they go, and then spend the night aboard ship, catching up on their lives.

It's wonderful that they have each other to do this with. The closeness in age probably has a lot to do with their closeness in adulthood.

That's why I'm anxious to move back home - to be closer to my parents and only sister while I still have them. Unfortunately, the employers down there are not cooperating. :-(

A very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to you and your wonderful family ((((((LadyX)))))))). Thank you for your kind words.

Happy Birthday and Happy Thanksgiving.

So many things to be thankful for from the One who provides.

And, Happy Thankgiving to you, m'Lady M...)

Yes, Lucy is still with me...she's my little angel...soon, I'm gonna have to send her back to her other human...I think he misses her...good thing I won't cuz I'm so derned tough.

Looking forward to the long weekend...will stay put here in CA due to a touch of bronchitis that has been lingering...also, a couple of deadlines to meet on Monday so I'll work my way though the holiday, at a nice and easy pace.

Hope yours is wayyyyyy wonderful....))

"just 14 1/2 months apart in age. "

That's what my family calls Irish twins. Nice that they spend time together, LadyX.

Happy Thanksgiving All

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Lucy of a Different Species..:))

It was great for my sons to be so close together, having the same group of friends growing up, and similar challenges and problems at the same time.
Always had someone to play with and discuss things with, moving often as we did; quite an asset.

We moved back to Florida when they were 14 and 15, and they're both Floridians at heart, and likely to remain so.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING MAGGIE and EVERONE ELSE.

((((Hugs))) from Lucy and me.

My brothers, my sister and myself are all close in age. After my niece had her first baby (Ashley), she wanted another soon after. Chas and her hubby saw how we were all close as adults and wanted that for their children. Her and her hubby were then Blessed with Meggie. Same age difference as me and my sister Moe.

I Pray that one day soon dansangel, you get back to your beloved Florida. Reading through the thread, I see you wanted to be a Lawyer. Go for it, you are never too old to go back to school. We need lawyers with your compassion and knowledge out there!!!

I *know* that feeling.

Thank you - I know He listens. All things in His time and for His purpose. I have to keep reminding myself of this.

Reading through the thread, I see you wanted to be a Lawyer. Go for it, you are never too old to go back to school.

I was 36 when I first entered law school in 1992. I am now pushing 50 pretty hard. It was difficult at 36 feeling as though I was old enough to be my fellow classmates' mother - don't want to return feeling like I could be their grandmother - LOL!

Seriously, I thank you for your vote of confidence, but times have changed and I'm content to "go with the flow." Maybe I'll go back to take some criminal justice courses just for my own edification, but law school is out.

(((((((HUGS)))))) to you and Lucy!

[LadyX]

A very special Happy Thanksgiving to you and Eve, Dubya.
Appreciate all the things you and The Mayor and others post here to inspire and encourage us in our walks.

Prayers, naturally, for all those serving in the military, and their families. To them we owe a tremendous debt...they will not be forgotten as were many of our fine men and women in the past...

Bush to Call Soldiers on Thanksgiving

Guard soldiers returning from Iraq on Thanksgiving


Associated Press
Nov. 26, 2003 06:00 PM


Thanksgiving will have an extra special meaning for some Arizona Army National Guard soldiers.

Gov. Janet Napolitano's office said 33 members of G Company of the Army Guard's 285th Aviation Regiment will return to Phoenix on Thursday after being called to active federal duty in March and serving in Iraq since May.

The soldiers will be the first group of Arizona Army Guard soldiers to return home from Iraq, Napolitano's office said.

Napolitano will greet the soldiers when they arrive at Sky Harbor International Airport. They will arrive aboard an Arizona Air Guard aircraft on a flight from a demobilization station at Fort Hood, Texas.

Those soldiers' return comes as 450 other Arizona Guard soldiers in five units prepare for December callups for duty in Iraq or elsewhere as part of the Pentagon's latest troop-rotation plan.

Approximately 1,270 of its soldiers remain on federal active duty, serving in Iraq, Afghanistan or the United States.

[The Mayor]

Thankyou LadyX for your kind words, and Thankyou Dubya for your inspiring posts.

When I cooked in the Army I had a great time cooking 30 huge turkeys, stuffing, mashed taters, gravy etc.......
We worked our tails off to make the food as close to homemade as possible, after all we were going home,
most of the troops weren't. Nothing quite like cooking for a few thousand guys and seeing their faces while
they enjoyed a good meal, Quite gratifying. We had a great crew at the messhall I worked at for 3 1/2 years..

[Dubya]

Thanks for your great post and Happy Thanksgiving.

[The Mayor]

Boy does this bring back memories, 25 years ago..

[Dubya]

It sure does. They look like they are enjoying their meal.
