If you note my new signature, you will see this coming weekend will be a good one!
But, I have nightmares of the plane approaching the base and crashing. NUTTY!!! I know, but it isn't over until it is OVER and the battalion is on the ground in front of us all. I will be there on the tarmac among the contagious tears and sobbing along with everyone else. My son's only wish for the three days I will be there is to go up to Mt. Hood and show me the mountain. I don't know which he loves the most...the beaches of home in FL...or the mountain of the NW.

I hope the weather is nice for your trip to Mt Hood, have you been to Oregon before?

Thanks to the four of you.
It is to rain all weekend in Seattle, so we may be doing the umbrella thing as we wait. Rain is necessary and brightens the green landscape, so it isn't all that bad.

My daughter was appalled tonight when I told her I was going to sit in my hotel room until Sat/Sun, whichever day they arrive.
So I am off to the Trip Advisor website to see what they suggest as free or low cost. Rose Festival...sounds wonderful!! I am packing my umbrella!
