ok, its been awhile since i have been in here. Sorry about that. But life around here is getting wild in a really wonderful way. Our son came home on leave from the navy before the 4th of July and ever since then this house has been busting at the seams with family and friends who want to see him and spend time with him. As he has been gone a year over seas. So forgive me if i am not in here much during this time.
What i can tell you is this. One night were all sitting around watching tv and this guy walked up to the front door. I couldnt see who it was though the forsted glass window. And thought it was one of my grandsons friends come to see him. So i sent my 5 yr old grand daughter to the door to answer it. As her and her ma and brother and sis were here visiting us that night for awhile. Well she opened the door and the next thing i hear out of here is "UNCLEEEEEEEE IRAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!" and with that she leaped into his arms. Followed by the rest of us at home here too.All hugging him and kissing him and crying. Its a wonder we didnt knock him over. :))))
what i can tell you is this too. It didnt take him long to walk into his room and put down that duffle bag and then with in moments as seems to happen with all military on leave the dang thing seemed to explode its contents all over the room LOL i lovingly go past the room look in sigh and close the door. talked to his aopted brother who was in the service about this and he told me its normal dont worry about it happened to him all the time when he went home on leave.Said when he would get there he would roll all his thing neatly in a drawer and then after a day would think why am i doing this i dont have to i am home and then his duffle bag with spill its contents all over the room too LOL sooooooooo like i said i just smile and close the door. heck i am not going to complain its just so good to have him home (and safe and unharmed ) for even a month before he has to go back to base. I am also so dang tired too but heck this is alaska i can hybernate with the bears this winter to catch up on all my rest and enjoy the memories of having him home if even for alittle while.
catch you later and tell you more of our adventures of our son on leave and our life in wild and sometimes very funny alaska :)
