Aloha Connie!

As archivist of Birthday pings, you're slipping!

Here's one to add. Oct. 13, 1775. Another is June 14, 1775, another August 4, 1790 and another September 18, 1947.

Thanks for all you do. It's Yeoman's work so let's add these five to the archive.


(I always remember the Navy and Marines Birthdays but ain't so good with the others).

It has been a while, and it’s mighty good to see you!

Sweet dreams...talk another time!

All IS well with me and the family! Son about to be deployed
for 6 months after the first of the year...but it’s not precisely
in the war zone.

Oh Bigs....I’m slipping?

I guess it never crossed my mind to ping to these as we always celebrate them in the canteen.

I will try to do better in the future.

Just remember you're the best!

We all know that already. When Connie steps it up a notch, we follow.

But you will be there in heart....and that will be sufficient
till you can be there in person.

Dear God,
I hold Madison up to Thee and humbly ask that You will lay Your hands upon her
and restore her even as You did to those about whom we read in the Bible.
In Jesus' Name
Amen

Dear SoldierDad,

Very special prayer for a very special 3 month old granddaughter. You and yours will be in my thoughts all day.
