Day 326 ~ Navy Bread

A friend of mine owns a Nature's Own bread route and one of his stops is at the Navy Weapons Station in Colt's Neck. Normally, he doesn't carry a lot of bread because sales are slow but he told me that, because an Admiral was going to visit, the Navy Exchange store wanted to have a FULL SHELF.  I show hope the Admiral buys some bread.

See you tomorrow.

Day 85~ Navy Proud!

Lawn Sign

I was taking my dog, Margaret, out for a walk in the neighborhood and I came across this sign on a nearby block.  It was a little difficult to take the picture because I had the leash in one hand and the phone in the other and Margaret is a bit of a jumpy dog so it was hard to keep the phone steady. Plus, I really didn't want to stand on the person's lawn too long since I don't even know the family so that is why the pic is off center.

Had I not joined the Air Force, I would have joined the Navy. In fact, Navy was my first choice but that didn't work....

See you tomorrow.

Day 62 ~ Bowling at the Navy Base

Don and me

Sara and Daniel wanted to meet their friends at the bowling alley but it was on the Navy Base. They needed someone with a military ID to get them on the base. I knew my retired Air Force status would come in handy for something. I didn't bowl but watched others. I really am no good at it and don't care enough about it to improve my game but I enjoyed watching the others and talking with everyone.

such form!

taking a rest

Where are You?

Stacy wanted to know why Karen wasn't there. I said you can ask her yourself so I took this picture and sent it to Karen with the caption, Where are you? Karen wanted to be there but she had to pick up Matthew from work.

It was a nice evening. I have to do that again!

See you tomorrow.

Day 43~ Remembering Pearl Harbor!

Bill Smith, WWII Vet, displaying his Ship

Yesterday, was December 7th, the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.  I was going through some old pictures and came across one of this. He is Bill Smith and he is a War World II Veteran. Our church has a scouting group called "Caravaan" and they invited all the vets in our church to come speak to the kids on, I believe, Veteran's day last year.  There was a sizable amount of veterans there and I was one of them but, by far, the most interesting person to listen to, was Bill Smith. He is a humble man who really doesn't like to speak in public but he became animated as he talked to the kids about his 20 year Navy career.

God bless this man from the greatest generation, a man I can call a friend!

See you tomorrow!
