Oklahoma!

Guess where I've been? 

OKLAHOMA!

Our middle child graduated from Basic Training with the Army.

We spent time with this young lady and her husband.  :)  The trip there was frightening, thank goodness the trip home was uneventful.  Oklahoma, welcomed me with comfortable weather, no rain, and a few green trees.  The Army training is very intense and only a few complete.  I am proud!  It has been a long 10 weeks.  I got up enough nerve to ask the drill Sargent below, how he commands the attention of 200 young adults within just a few seconds.  I want the secret!  I think it would be helpful when trying to get the attention of high school students.  :)  He assured me if I wanted to join up he could train me.  I said, "no thanks".  :)  But I was very impressed.  I am back in Tennessee, readying myself for a new week. My thoughts are with this young man as he begins a new journey in Augusta, GA. Have a wonderful week! Love,
