Flounce rating (2.0). Good luck next week. Don't forget to come back and tell us all how great it was so we can rate the flounce return.

Take care Fingers and have lots of fun with your son. Thank him too, for his efforts in keeping our country safe. To everyone in the military also. :Hug2:

I'm sure glad he made it home safely :D
Life is interesting, sometimes...in reading this statement above, I'm reminded of last Thanksgiving, when our nephew returned home safely from a 1-year tour in Iraq, only to die in a motorcycle accident the Saturday after.

One never knows what sort of ironies lay in life.

someplace around here, anyone seen my keys?
I'm always heartened by messages about our young men and women coming home safe and sound from Iraq, since my son leaves for his first deployment this summer. Have fun and thank your son for his service for me.

Have a wonderful time with your son, Fingers. You must be so happy to have him home.

Please tell him thank you. And come back again safe and sound.

As an Air Force wife of 19 years, and an Army Ranger mom...and the one who waited, and paced as all three important guys in my life were sent downrange--I am profoundly happy for you. That first hug you give your son will be like nothing you've ever experienced.
Enjoy your time together. This family sends you the very best!!

The return of a loved one is my idea of the best reason to be absent from AW. Enjoy. See you later!

Maryn, happy for you
