Home Sweet Home




Tony made it home Wednesday afternoon from his training mission. He was tired, ready to eat anything other than MRE's and chewed up by mosquitoes, but otherwise fine. He was able to take leave on Thursday and he decided to go to Big Bear because he missed Bandit...the Palmer Family dog. I visited with my mother while Tony and the dog went for walks and car rides. Mom is doing well, always decorating the house and she has done a great job with it. Dad had to work some OT so we only got to see him for about an hour before we left. Mikey is working as a painter these days, which is hard on him with his disability but he's hanging in there and he seems to be really happy about his job. We didn't get to see him because Amber didn't feel well. Tony thought he had to report today but they sent him home after 2 hours and are giving him another day off. It was nice to have him home early again. We had a nice dinner and went for a 4 mile walk. Its just nice to have brisk, fall weather. Makes us look forward to the holidays.
