FLASHBACK

Got home from work today early. 77 degrees, birds singing, trees blossoming, grass growing and down on the river two boys, maybe 8 and 10, and a small brown dog, were busy playing. . I stood for so long watching them from the upstairs window. I was trying to capture 25 years ago in my mind, as I always looked and checked on my boys at the river. Guess I am sentimental, but for a moment I wished that was my two boys one more time. Hold on to each precious moment, They are gone so fast. I love you, Rob and Chad! What a blessing to be your Moma

training Begins

Chad's last week as firearms instructor for the Secret Service is this week. This has been a job that let's him enjoy his passion at the same time. Next week it is the start of a 6 month training program for special agents. He will be leaving for Glenco,Ga, on April 14th for 3 months. Then back to D.C. to finish training program and will graduate November, 14th. All to say, Lisa and Chad and the Boys need our love, support and prayers.

Happy Sunday

Thought I would talk alittle bit about my daughter. This is a organized, determined, beautiful, women. She not only goes to college {with only a few hours left}, but she runs her on bussiness, cares for the needs of so many, and finds time to stay in shape, eat right and look drop dead gorgeous. I have her on my mind tonight because nothing is sweeter than my children coming by to see us. Abby and Patrick will be here Sunday night for dinner. If we are lucky, Rob will be here,also. Happy Day!
