Been pretty busy again in personal life. Derek and Heather are home on leave again from Pensacola, Florida (another week left) and then they are driving west to San Diego (the new station port). Two of my daughters came down to spend this last week with him also and brought four of my seven grandkids since these kids were already on Easter break from school. The timing was amazing on allowing this to all happen at once.
I've been building or updating everybody's computers at the same time, so it's been pretty hectic as well as trying to get as many of the kids' type vcr movies copied over to cd so each can take either vcr or cd with them home.
No time to do much else except lurk in here and know the time is getting short before Derek will be gone again for a very long period of time this time. I've been trying to hog in as much time with him as possible, even though he's been going to see alot of his good friends and Heather's family and friends in West Virginia, too, before they take off.
We're planning on having a Thanksgiving/Easter dinner here tomorrow night and have his dad over, too, since the girls haven't seen him since the wedding either. Paul's not the natural father to any of them, but he's about the only one any of them have ever had and everybody gets along really well still and still think of him as 'dad' or 'grampaw'.
I'll be back once things calm back down again here...I'm just enjoying myself like crazy right now, and lovin' every minute of it.
Thanks for missing me.....
