November 7

Happy Birthday to Mark!!!    And what a fantastic day it was.....picture-perfect weather (November has been so incredible after wet, chilly October).    He talked to his parents, my Dad, all our kids (including Ryan from the Persian Gulf) and grandsons!    Lots of good wishes via e-mail and phone calls, cards and even birthday cake from our neighbor!    Had some delicious steaks on the grill for dinner!

We started watching "Carrier" last night.   It is a 10-part documentary that was on PBS several months ago.   We had just seen a small part of it, but now have the DVD and each night watch 2-3 segments.   It's all about life aboard the USS Nimitz (Ryan's ship) and so-very-interesting!    Takes on a whole new perspective of what day-to-day life is like on a carrier with 5,000 shipmates.
