Sunday Brunch

Well here we are another edition of Sunday Brunch. My week was pretty routine. I did get and email from LCpl Honda on Monday. He said the internet was down and he was not able to make contact before that time. Basically he just wanted to know if I took care of some business concerning [...]

Combat Cargo on the Job

I found these pictures today. The USS Bonhomme Richard received its first supplies at sea. LCpl Honda is probably in these pictures somewhere, but of course I can not tell where. Nothing new there. A MH-60S Seahawk carries supplies from fleet replenishment oiler USNS Henry J. Kaiser to USS Bonhomme Richard here Sept. 30 during [...]

Deployment 101

I do not even no where to start. We originally thought LCpl Honda would deploy on the 18th of September, but the ship broke down and they did not leave. So I have been in deployment notice mode for two weeks now. On Wednesday I was in limbo not knowing what would happen and when they [...]

Don't Forget to Push Record

My Marine son finally got underway with his deployment yesterday after delays, change of plans and a lot of stress. (mine) It was good, sad day. Tears and emotions were all around. I am getting the pictures ready and will post in detail a little later. I have to take care of nearly everything while [...]

Enough Already!

As I said in my post about LCpl Honda’s deployment postponement I just know there would not be smooth sailing (pardon the pun). He called last night and seem to think he would be leaving this Friday. OK fine, Corvette and I made plans to leave tomorrow to pick up his car and see him [...]

Boot [...]

The Military Strikes Again

Just when you think you have all your ducks in a row and a plan in hand, the military shatters everything. LCpl Honda was set to deploy on Friday but know it will be next week maybe… Apparently three boilers on the ship have broken. All at the same time. hmm. Anyway they can not [...]

I Remember 9/11

I think everyone remembers what they were doing on September 11th 2001. Getting ready for work this morning and watching the images on TV really took me back to that day. I once again felt the shock, disbelief and the overwhelming sadness over the events that I witnessed. That morning in 2001 I was doing [...]

Sunday Brunch

Yesterday, family and friends came together and we planted Lolly’s tree. The week before, I prayed for cooler weather and that prayer was answered. I was a little worried a major storm might interrupted the planting but that did not happen. The tree was a little bigger than I expected. I have a VW bug. The [...]
