Good morning to everyone at the Canteen. A bit cooler here with my digital showing 60º, but will warm close to 80 later.

Don’t know if or when he will remember to write or call his mother. At 21 he may be more interested in his ‘honey’ in Louisiana. 8^) He is a good young man.

Yeah, it's hard when mom becomes the second woman. LOL

Actually, they keep them so busy they usually don't have time. At some point, THEY make them write home.

Goooood mornin', Early Birds!
This is my I-slept-through-the-alarm face!
Now if I could just get the other eye to open!
It's gonna be 84 today.
I'm not ready for AC weather!
Oh, well...it IS the desert!
Y'all have a Terrific Tuesday! :)
(((hugs)))

We spent the day at Paris Island in September. It is a beautiful island.

The museum was nice with articles from all the wars and not so wars where Marines have deployed.

The grounds are immaculate. It seems a little sterile. The buildings and the various training areas resemble college athletic practice grounds rather than those for the finest fighting force in the world.

Nothing says, “Welcome to Hell!!” like chiggers in the sand in South Carolina. The boot camp part is the less annoying part I bet.

We called them sand fleas.

They crawled all over you - in the ears, eyes, nose, down your collar and up your cuffs.

And you dare not swat, move, twitch, snort, blow or blink.

And only God could help you if the D.I. caught killing one!!!
