Wow, Tom, the landings and launches to and from the carriers are simply amazing no matter how many times I see them. Thanks for posting them.

Nighty night, HJ! Sleep well. Get a good night's rest so you'll be ready to romp at Camp tomorrow!

[photogirl]

Great pics. Thank you for posting them!

[radu]

Oh WOW! COOOOL!! You posted the pics from the Children's Health and Safety Fair article! Looks like there was a great turnout!

And is the first one from one of the "helo ops" sessions?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks. My pleasure. Great to see you.

"And is the first one from one of the "helo ops" sessions?"

That was taken on Thanksgiving Day.
At the start of a 25 mile "run" to pick sdomeone up from a tow barge and bring him back to port.
That is one of the boats helo ops are done on.
That's what the helmets are for in the pic.

I like the outfit, Radu. Believe it or not, I still have my shoes but it's blue and off white.

I bought an outfit just like the one in that pic to wear to car shows. Since our show cars are '50's era, I thought the poodle skirt and saddle shoes would be quite appropriate. *giggle* But I break out the outfit other times just for fun. The slip is sometimes hard to deal with, though. LOL!

Good Night Blessing for the Troops

Blessings on you this evening 
May the stars in heaven 
light your way into the 
Milky Way of dreams 


May your day tomorrow 
be filled with love 
laughter and joy... 


Taking away all heart ache 
left stinging... 
and unclouding your vision 
for clear sailing...

I think I remember that run. I can't remember the details exactly but the gentleman you went to pick up needed to get back in a hurry. Something to do with his son, I think?

"Something to do with his son, I think?"

Yes, father of a fallen firefighter.

Now it's time to TAKE A BREAK! Click Here to ENTER THE FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER. It's Fun!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep well, Diva. God bless you good for your steady support of our military and their families. Thank you for today's wonderful thread and all the dancing going on.

To Our Troops

Ooooooo! That's beautiful, Dubya! Thanks for the link to Jeannie Nourse's poem.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night, Dubya and Rosie and Eve! God bless you good and sleep well. Thanks for the good jokes that I emailed off.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep well, HJ. Rest your feet. You've been doing lots of dancing today. Thank you for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Uh oh! I can see the wheels turning already. LOL!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Out the door. Back in a few.

[radu]

Yes, father of a fallen firefighter.

Yes, that's the one. I couldn't remember the details but remembered it was something sad. He was trying to get home for the funeral and the tow barge wasn't going to be able to get him back in time.

[radu]

Be right here. Got a LOT of catching up to do. LOL!

Drive safely!
