Ft. Hood, Texas

So, after a couple of hiccups on Saturday the flight crews made it to Ft. Hood, Texas. But since some of the guys had some things to do with the helicopters when they finally arrived where they needed to go, they didn't have a bed or a locker. My Bob was one of the lucky ones who didn't have a bed, figure the luck.

They finally figured out what to do so now he is gonna finally have some place to lay his precious head. The training starts and soon they will be on their way to Afghanistan.

I miss him a lot already but am trying really hard to keep it together. Last night the big boys got the king size air mattress out of the trailer and we had a huge campout in the living room. That was fun. Then today since we had sunshine for the first time in weeks, we went outside and did yard work. Can't fix the roof yet, but soon hopefully. I did get a huge sunburn so now I am trying to remain comfortable. Arms, chest, & back yeah!!!! That's what the sun & tank tops will get you. But, not much more to do out front & my house will actually look like someone lives here who cares. Kind of let it slide with all the rest that's been going on.

So, hopefully tomorrow we will be able to finish pulling out the front flower bed & weed the flower beds by the house then we will be hopefully done out front. Just maintaining after this. Thank goodness for Amy Ridley, she sprayed the front of my house & some in the back for weeds & it did wonders. It killed everything she sprayed and sterilized it so nothing will come back. Yeah, I don't have a weed farm this year.

Well, enough for today. Will post again soon take care all.
