Gosh, I didn’t mean to not blog for so long, but life gets crazy, doesn’t it? Wow, I haven’t been on since January!

Well, my daughter has not joined the navy. She enlisted the end of January and will leave for boot camp in November. That is, unless she changes rates. She signed up as a yeoman, but now wants to change to Aviation Ordinance. I keep telling her, yes, it is her choice, but think of what you want to do when you get out of the Navy.

My son graduates next week, then two weeks later will leave for boot camp. He has changed his rating to Intelligence Specialist. He is very excited and ready to go. Me? I am OK with them going. Isn’t that what being a parent is all about? Raising your kids hopefully with good morals and standards, then letting them loose into the world? I know both will do well with life.

Let’s see. We have a new kitten. Actually, we had four, but three didn’t make it the first week. After all that, I can’t give away the survivor. I named her Tinkerbell. It has been fun watching her grow. She is 6 weeks old now.

We closed on my mom’s house yesterday. That was a bit hard. That is the house I grew up in. I did meet the buyers and they seem nice, so all is well.

I had a birthday this past weekend, and I swear, after you hit 40, you fall apart! I was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic. I am OK with that. Lots of changes, though. I plan to blog about it here soon, so look for my prespective as I deal with it all.

Well, that is about it for now. Hopefully, I won’t stay away as long.
