Sean Klein; "Crazy Hot"

(thank you Connie)

.

.

Good Morning Everyone;
I have a few moments to share a few words from my godson, Sean. As he is currently serving in Iraq.

He has sent a few pictures and words for us too.

.

From Sean:

"I just want to let you know those orange pictures are the sandstorm during the day. Thats like when its goin' hard. I was amazed when I saw it.
The one with me standing there is when its dying down.
I actually walked through it. Sand stings when its blowing around that fast. And yeah you can use my pictures, I dont mind at all.
I'm gonna take some pictures from around where I am right now one of these days.
This place isnt that special.
I'll take a ride on one of the buses and get over to where the airfield is and take some pix of the unmanned aircraft. Those are the planes they use for recon.

Hot doesnt even describe how warm it was here yesterday.
It was 125 with the heat index. Crazy hot.

Take care.
Tell the family I said hello.
I'll be stopping in when i come home in november.
Miss ya guys."

Thank you Sean!

This, also from Sean:

"...yes everyone can start sending me stuff if they want to. I'm now at that lovely address in iraq..."

Having grown up sans computers I am SO happy that we now have the internet to be able to see pictures and to hear from our guys!!!

****I wrote the following words last Memorial Day...

"As many of you already know I am both very deeply Christian, and exceedingly patriotic too-

Having lived through the entire Vietnam War, and era; and seeing images and names flashed on the old black and white televison set in my younger days...

I have not forgotten...

I am sorry that this bloody "conflict" in Iraq is ongoing, but like the song says, we must all stand together...

God Bless America...

And grow up for Gods sakes, when you hear the National Anthem...

REMOVE ANY NON-MILITARY ISSUE HEADGEAR.

• STAND UP.

And so I have used the title entry from my July 4th post- But I do think that it is appropo for this email I received from Duane this morning... And it is also MORE than appropriate with respect to what happened in the UK yesterday- And we will never know exactly how many lives were saved- How many disaster have been averted...

Credit where credit us due: Thank you Tony Blair for being proactive enough, and for having enough chutzpah to integrate all these ideals to spare the lives of our friends, family members, copatriots and compadres ... To have under your direction- (and with our blessings), people with more than half a brain; and that KNOW how to use it too...

As many of you already know I am both very deeply Christian, and exceedingly patriotic too- Having lived through the entire Vietnam War, and era; and seeing images and names flashed on the old black and white televison set in my younger days... I haven't forgotten...

A Few Friends of Mine

A Few Friends of Mine

Soggy, damp and chilled is NO way to go through life...

~~

Good Morning Everyone!
It has been a while since I have blogged.
The dreaded "blogstipation" and all else... That, and the fact that I do not trust Yahoo anymore.
Kind of a depressing thought...
Wish other sites worked a bit better too.
Seems none are too 'dial~up' friendly. But there are no other options out here for me unless I win the lotto! hehehe Oh well.

I have my mower deck on the Cub Cadet!!!
Many thanks to friends John, and his daughter Brandy, who came and changed out the snowplow for the mower. They had also put the snowplow on last Fall.
Me? I am not taking any chances with this back of mine.

.

.

John and Brandy Pryes...

.

.

I am not even sure how long it took them. They came as we were leaving last Friday to get the shot for my head. When we got back home they were gone, and the deck was on.
I am thinking that I will be using this deck fairly soon too.
I have places that the grass is easily about 6" high, and other places that there is but ½" of new growth.
I will have to level that out.
Mother Nature will help me out with this soon.

We got that snow yesterday. It didn't stick around for long.
But I woke this morning to frost on the cars.
It is currently about 31°...
(Good grief, would the real Spring please stand up)?
At least the sun is out?!? 

I want to get the garden tilled out too. Maybe tomorrow morning I can get to that. That is, if the old Simplicity tractor will run for me. hehehe I shall fight with that one today and get it ready to till yet another season. Failing that, I will make a phone call or two...

Speaking of good friends.

Meet Laurie Laurent.

.

.

Laurie, Roberta, and Jill.
(Picture taken at Farrs Grove back when I shot darts).

.

Laurie and I go back to Junior High at BayPort. (7^th grade to be exact).
We were fast friends back then, and have remained close friends throughout the decades that have followed too.

She is Baby Mariahs grandmother...
(Have you sent out that birthday card for Miss Mariah yet)?
CLICK HERE for details.

Laurie is Seans mother as well. Sean is my godson.

Sean, Miss Mariah, and Laurie.

Sean has emailed me and has asked that I write to him.
Serving us all from his place in the United States Military, he is now on his way to Iraq.
He has added NOT to write until mid~May. Guess that will be when they all get settled enough to receive mail.
As with everything here, I am going to go one step further and ask that you write to him also.
His address:

PV2 KLEIN, SEAN

. Remember, not til Mid-May

Please keep our young man in your hearts, your thoughts, and your prayers. (And please forward his address to those that you think might write to him, or maybe even send a cookie or two)!

.

Special thanks to Connie~Beep for the above prayer.

.

My computer is acting up bigtime.
Yahoo has asked me repeatedly to sign back into its mail, but will not bring up the verify screen either. Grrrr....
I'd better close before it decides to not post this entry.
And then it will be time for a reboot.
(Methinks it's time for Yahoo to reboot).

I hope you are having a grand week, and that it is warm at least where YOU are.

Love to all.

XOXO
Anne
