Excellent pictures and reports, Lauren! :)

Hi, Lauren! Just wonderful pictures--it's like I am right there watching in person--except the noise from that rocket would be really loud!

You having a cool evening out there in the desert? What's in the plans for tomorrow? I'm waiting for pictures from the Suguaro Park! Was it awesome?

God bless our brave troops--so proud of Sgt. Pashley for her bravery under fire! They are all heroes to me!
