Good Morning!
Have to keep it short....More hot and dry today...at least the wind isn’t blowing now...maybe they will kick up again later. Fires all over the place, but none close to me. I just get to smell the smoke and breath the ash.
Later!

My (step)grandson (marine) just got back yesterday from a tour of duty in Iraq, and got to meet his 9 week old daughter for the first time!
He wanted to be last off the plane, but because of his wife and mother, a policeman entered the plane and asked for my grandson to stand up. The officer then read off my grandson’s accomplishments in Iraq, as well as those of his dog, Dax, who saved his life.
When my grandson was finally able to leave the plane, he was given a police escort, as well as an escort by the Patriot Riders, into town, and there were several media affiliates to record it all.
He will be in Pendelton for at least a year, where he will train his new dog, and then he will go back to Iraq.
I wish I could have been there!

Congratulations! This is not the same grandson as the other grandson, is it? Isn’t the other one in the Army?

Yes, the other grandson is in the army, and it looks like both of them will be going to Iraq about the same time...about a year from now.

Yes it is! I read the email, looked at the photos and bawled like a baby.
But it was a GOOD cry! He is such a great guy! (Or did I say that already?)

My family is fairly lucky, I think. We have all managed to stay healthy, and I think it probably has to do with how and where we were raised, as much as the gene pool we came from.
Prayers for your family (and you!)
