Wow!  It's been quite some time since I've blogged.  I would say nothing new has happened, but that's not true.  There have been many things, but here are the highlights: 

**My brother is on his way to follow in our mother's combat shoes footsteps, and is becoming a corrections officer.
**Brandon is, of course, growing too fast.  His speech--he's been having a bit of trouble in the past few months--is doing awesome.
**We are now stationed in Brunswick, GA.  Beautiful here & loving it.  No major disaster work---yet.
**I have have a pain on my head for about 2 1/2 months now, that gives me daily headaches and several migraines (I finally have an appointment with the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL---Oct. 29th.  Please prayer for enough to cancel that I may be able to get in faster.)
**Many corps and divisional events that we've enjoyed with our church family.
**Ben & then Bonnie have come home.  As you may know, our dalmation of 9 years died of cancer in May.  We thought for sure (well before he-Baxter-even got sick) it would be months before we could even talk about another dog.  We'll two weeks later, Glenn and I--almost in stereo--said there was a hole in our family.  After 3 trips to the Humane Society Ben came home with us.  He was very scared for several weeks, started to do a little better, then it was suggested we get him a friend....................................After A LOT of things, Bonnie came home.  These two seem to be in love--Ben's ears are squeeky clean inside and out, thanks to Bonnie.  Our home is also better with them here.  So, meet Ben and Bonnie..... 

 

Haven't shown a pic of him lately.  Guess that's hard to do when I haven't been around, huh?  This was taken his last day of "school" before we moved to Brunswick.
