One dark cloud was that I, like Joshua, had to work during our mini-vacations. That stinks big time, but I suppose that every penny we can sock away to go see Avivah and have a few cents in our pockets is good. Guess that's the silver lining to it.
With the exception of Friday and Saturday I've written to Avivah every day she's been gone. I know a few of you lovely readers have written (and will write) to her too and I KNOW that has helped her tremendously. Thank you.
This week I have a couple funny things to send her in my letters so I think she'll get a kick out of how silly I can be and that I'll succeed in bringing a smile to her face. Go mom!
Other than the first call there hasn't been a peep from V... but NO news really is GOOD news! In fact, it is calming to me that things are going well enough that she hasn't had to call with changes or 'bad news'.
The next regular contact there will be is a packet with a parking pass and BMT graduation information. It's not a letter or anything personal but it will be addressed in her writing so it will feel as though she sent it. Hey! That counts!
Oh, one note! (LA!) In my absence my e-mail box filled to capacity and didn't accept new e-mails. If you sent something to me and it was returned to you, would you please send it again? (Especially if it was a request for V's address.)
Cool pic for today is the crest of V's Training Squadron. Go Knights! If you know Avivah you know how much she is enjoying this crest. A) She's a big Renaissance Festival fan. B) She loves Latin and has always wanted to learn it. and C) The Latin here sounds like a spell from Harry Potter!
Ok, you tenacious translators... My own take on it is: "Let's kick some serious medieval tuchas!!" So tell me.... What does it mean to you?

Deb, that was cool.
Leave it to me to hope for creativity or just plain ol' silliness and forget to include the facts. Thank you for interjecting that wonderful information.
Ok, now if you had to write a slogan to go with the crest, what would it be? (insert medieval tuchas here!?) LoL
Lea,
Glad you had a few days to regroup and are back! I had no idea what the badge meant so didn't try.
Yes, I would like V's address and Monika's too if you have it! Please send to HaleyAngel45@aol.com. I need more stamps!
I really don't know how you Mom's are doing it but keep the strength!
I know...one day at a time and breathe! Is Spring ever coming?
Hey, Mom, this is Drew. I'd appreciate V's address as well. Please send it to heuse1ac@cmich.edu.
