A copy of the email I sent out to family and friends this morning. And since I count everyone here as "family and friends" it belongs here also.
Just to let everyone know that Jeff is back in the US. After they left Iraq they went to Rhein Main AFB in Germany where they spent 18 hours on the ground with a broke C-17. After it was repaired they spent another 9 and a half hours in the air before they landed at Fort Bragg, NC. He said they got in at 2:30 this morning and he called us at about 6:15. He will remain at Bragg for 11-14 days give or take a few before he gets to come home for good. Needless to say it is a great relief to have him back on American soil again.

And it is glad we are to
be "family and friends!"
Knowing Jeff is safely back in the States fills us with delight, ladtx. As you know, there was a lot of prayer invested in his very long year - for him, and his family.
Speaking of family, last night I'd asked Mixer when his child is due to be added to Our Family.
This was his response:
" Due date is June 7th LadyX. Thanks for asking. We are so excited. I will be posting pictures here in the thread as soon as I recover from the shock of being a dad : )"
Billie has created a wonderful atmosphere where persons become friends, usually without ever seeing one another, crossing all generational or other lines.
I know all who come here are as appreciative of the dedication of our hostesses and hosts as I am.
Mixer, thank you for providing and maintaining the Anniversary Calendar for us, and joining us here when you are able.
