The Official Status Update Thread - Part 104: Shaun of the Dead

[actaeon277]

We've decided we need to celebrate annually now. It was a nice day. Five out of six of us kids were there with our spouses. Only one grandchild was unable to attend due to being in the Navy and not being able to get time off. My nephew (also in the Navy) and the other who is a Marine both managed to get time to attend. It was a really nice day. I'm still stuffed...way too much food.

The navy tends to not be very understanding about such things, unless you're assigned shore duty.
One deployment, they didn't tell a guy his mom died, till we were tying up at the pier.

I have no idea what has gone on here. The storm knocked me out of the loop and then today's party took me offline all day so I am WAY behind.

I've got to go to work in an hour and I'm sleepy. I've never drunk coffee at 9:45 pm in my life.

She hasn't been in very long so hasn't earned any leave time yet from what I understand. I don't even think she has been in a year yet...maybe a year. She did have some leave after she graduated from the last program she was doing and was home for a week, but her parents live in Oregon so we didn't get to spend any time with her then. Her dad was the only sibling that didn't make it for today's party.

I couldn't even log on last night. Power got knocked out about 3 or 4 yesterday afternoon when the storm blew through and came back on about 1:30 this morning. It was close to noon when the county finally got the huge tree off of the road that had ripped down the lines. Trees down all over again. This stuff is getting old.

Well, we're glad you're back now

This is my second or maybe third time. But I've never started the night sleepy before. I'll be OK once the coffee kicks in.

Me too. I am uploading photos from today to my son's "cloud" thing. He wants to use some for paintings for gifts...for my parents mainly. It's about half done with the upload. I had to include the shots of my nephew who wore his kilt. If he only knew how much I thought about the comments here when I saw him.

 

[Snapdragon]

Hi Mom. Glad you're back!

 

[chocktaw2]

Gonna call it a nite! Lady SD have a good nite at work, mom45, have a good nites rest! Jagee, later on.

 

[mom45]

Hi Mom. Glad you're back!

Hi Snap. I'm glad to see you are doing better. Those yellow jackets are nothing to mess with. You had us all worried.

 

[Sylvain]

Wassup people?

 

[Snapdragon]

Sleep tight, Choc!

Night CT2

I was just reading where the storms that came through here were supposed to be about 80 mph winds. I wonder what they actually clocked at considering the huge trees that got knocked over.
