Well, here's my sister and her son, Clay, who is leaving for Navy bootcamp in a week. We all hate to see him leave, especially my sister. We had a wonderful time at his going-away party, and sis decorated her home and yard in Navy stuff. Her hubby is hoping his schedule will allow him to go with her to Clay's graduation in Great Lakes (Chicago area). If he can't, I wish I could go with her. Clay's always been my buddy. Ever since he was a little bitty thing. He's always got a big hug for his Aunt Vickie. He'll hang all over me. I love it! Sis is 5'9", so you can see how tall Clay is! He's been a beanpole for a long time, and they tell him that he'll be a "double rat" for awhile. That means he has to eat first and then go eat again at each meal. They want to pack some pounds on him. Must be nice....
I'll be so glad when tomorrow is over with, and the decision has been made as to which candidate has been elected President. I think it's going to be ever so close, and we may all be surprised at the silent majority that comes out to vote. There are still lots of God-fearing, Christian people in this land that are praying for God's will to be done. I'm one of 'em and I know most of you that I follow are, too. Let's all band together and be on our knees tomorrow, in our hearts if not physically, and ask God to do what's best for our great land and to continue blessing her.

I wish him luck.
I have a younger cousin graduating from Air Force basic training on the 14th.
Oh gosh, I'm sitting here boohoo'ing , the "Lend me a puppy" poem got to me.
It was beautiful though, thanks for telling me about it.
Abby always stayed on our back porch, every little noise I hear I go look out the back door, hoping she'll be there. :-(
Maybe she will come back, but I doubt it.

Joining you for sure!
Wishing your nephew all the best in his service to this country. He's top shelf!

My daughter graduated from the Navy at Great Lakes this past August! She is so happy. She is in California, training to be an interpreter. When her training is done, she will be stationed in Hawaii. She has learned so much and the Navy turned things around for us. Your nephew will have so many doors open to him! I wish him the best of everything. Blessings,Kathleen
Awww. That's so hard to watch them go off. I pray that he will stay safe and learn much. I know a lot of young men serving right now, and for many of them it has provided the structure, discipline and purpose they were looking for. Hugs to you and your sis.
I wish for him the very best life has to give. I loved your thoughts on the election....m..
Sweet post - nephews and aunties have a special bond I think. Military service is good training - my DH said it taught him to eat faster and a wide variety of foods he never touched (until he got so hungry he ate whatever they gave him!) Election is long over and we all know God is in charge and will use these events to glorify His name in ways we cannot imagine.
