Thanks for the ping, tomakaze!!

We'll look forward to your future posts! :-)

Have a safe trip overseas and I hope things aren't too piled up on your desk when you arrive. "Be careful what you ask for....you just might get it." LOL!!

Good luck in this endeavor and thank you! Yes, things are a bit crazy over there but a LOT of Iraqis are grateful for the help from America and the Coalition.

Arrived in one piece.
Swamped with stuff that needed to be done yesterday.
It's raining again (which sucks as the ground here don't soak up much water).
Will elaborate when I get some slack time.

So glad to hear you made it.

Swamped with stuff that needed to be done yesterday.

I do believe I told you to be careful what you asked for, didn't I? *g* At least you'll have plenty to keep you busy and you won't get bored. I certainly hope this will be a rewarding experience, both for you and for those you're there to help.

I can sympathize with the rain. We've had a LOT of that here in TN. lately and the ground's pretty well saturated. Our farm is a swamp.
I'll use that as a reminder of what you and the others over there are enduring. Keeping you and all the others in my prayers for your safety. Thank you for doing your part in helping the Iraqis achieve freedom. :-)
