From Mom, Mon 8/23/10 2:52 AM





Hey,

I was just going to start writing you. G&G took us to FP today. When we were sitting down Ona came over with water glasses and one slipped and spilled a little bit of icy water on Cubby. He was shocked by his cold shower and cried. It was kind of funny and I wish I had caught it on film because yesterday he was standing on the back porch and stepped back and landed with his butt in the dog's water bowl.

Can you download stuff from youtube? I posted a couple videos of the boys playing at G&G and in the backyard with the dogs.

I used your card to get $20 in gas today. I had to drive in to work to take care of the compactor and pool this morning. I probably would have had enough gas to last me till tuesday if I hadn't had to drive in a couple times for work. I took Fritz in with me and he hung around the pool while I skimmed a few leaves off and added some water.

I know why and understand your reasons for enlisting. Most of the enlisting personal are probably doing it for the same reasons. Money and lack of available jobs. I get mixed reactions when I tell people your in Afghanistan, I like to see their faces and gage their reactions. Some people are like good for you and others swing the complete opposite and say there's no reason to be there. I like to take a positive outlook on it. Even if you don't feel like your there to do good, you do touch the lives of the people you meet, soldiers and civilians alike. I noticed that in pictures that you pose for you are giving the deuces/peace sign. Now I look for your hands.

I'll go this week and get stuff, sounds like a salty cheesy fix. I need to find more dry drink mix I sent you the last of it last time, I'm not sure where Wes got it from. I don't know about the AZ Tea but I may be able to find instant tea mix. The crackers will probably ship better than the chips did. I think most of the stuff I will get at Costco and I need to go there to get diapers anyways.

I love you and miss you all the time. Surprisingly time does pass by and everyday brings the day you return home closer to us. It is only when I stop and dwell on the passage of time that it really seems to slow down. Hope all is well and whatever crap is going on with your platoon is getting better. Take care. Love Mom. XOXOXOX
