Lift Off

I see where our space shuttle finally lifted off yesterday. The manned ones always makes me leary. Back in the mid-80's, right after I graduated from college, I can remember exactly where I stood, what I was wearing and who I was talking to when I heard about the space shuttle Challenger. That was probley my first tragedy I'd ever been alive for. Then, when the Columbia exploded, it was equally horrific!

I don't think I'd want to ride in a space shuttle where the name of it begins with a "C"!

Well, back to work today after a couple days off.

**ASHLEY UPDATE**- GUESS who is no. 39 on her A-School list?!?! I saw the list yesterday morning and immediately emailed her! She emailed me back yesterday afternoon and said she should get her orders the middle of next month to begin A-School in OCTOBER! She was SOOOO excited!

That would put her home on Christmas! We're SOO excited! To have all my chickens under one coop for Christmas...that's MY Christmas present! (happy sigh!)

She's doing great, they're just extremely busy. I just can't imagine her going 3 weeks now without SHOPPING! OH the withdrawals she must be having! haaaaaaaaaaaaa I did check her bank account balance, and it's actually above $50.!! (astounded sigh!) ha

Well, that's about it from here. Here is a pic I took the other day of Boomer!

I KNOW he looks plump here, but he's actually lost a couple of ounces...he slept thru one of his snack times over the weekend. That's gotta be worth a few ounces!
