The big news of the week is grandson Jacob left this morning on the USS Theodore Roosevelt for waters unknown to us. He'll be gone 6 to 9 months. To say as grandparents we are incredibly proud of him, would be an understatement. 💙 Jacob, you will be missed and in our thoughts and prayers daily! Love you! 💖

| This picture gets me every time 💖 One last hug before he left. Love the ship in the background. |
He was supposed to leave yesterday but because of some kind of a delay Russell, Lori and Allissa got one more day with him until he had to be on ship at 2300.

| USS Theodore Roosevelt..Aircraft Carrier! One huge ship! |
 |
| Russell had to register to get on base. They pulled up a photo of him from when he was in the Marine Corps. He was 18 and he's 45 now..Yes, they took a new picture. He looks like such a baby here 💙 |
When we went to bed last night it was snowing. We didn't really expect much but woke to at least 6 inches with snow drifts at 12..Cold!
 |
| The stock tank really got a lot considering there was no water in it at all! |
 |
| Since we only get snow a few times a year, we do enjoy it! |
new circular saw though. LOL.
We've had a fire in the wood stove all day, so it's nice and toasty here! Looks like a trip to Home Depot soon and more flooring. I'm loving it!
 |
| We bought 5 boxes to start, which should do the kitchen. Goodbye ugly floor that I've hated for almost 5 years. It was supposed to be squares and ended up being diamonds. Ken told me from the beginning to get a new floor, but since we paid a pretty penny for it, thought it might grow on me. It didn't! LOL. Living room next! Right now it's 23 with a feels like 18, thinking this snow will be around a bit! LOL. |
Bye Jacob! What a reunion you folks will have when he returns!
ReplyDeleteKen where are your gloves? That white stuff may look pretty but that idea leaves pretty fast! lol
Deb
Yes we will Deb! Yeah, looks like the snow will be hanging around more than a few days this time as it's so cold. Luckily it only happens a few times a year! hmmm didn't notice Ken didn't have gloves on..
DeleteBest of luck to Jacob. Good for you guys for doing your own flooring, it looks great and you are going to save a lot of money!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Ken does a great job, I'm the supervisor LOL. You are correct about the $$$
DeleteGood luck Jacob!!! Ahhhh your outside kitchen looks so forlorn! LOVE the flooring!!! The snow would be just gorgeous if it wasn't quite so cold!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy! Hoping to be out there Sunday in the kitchen, we shall see! I know, it is cold! !
DeleteGood luck, Jacob. Such a long time but another reason to be proud of the young man he has become. That is a huge ship!
ReplyDeleteThank you Patsy! Oh you know we are proud! Yes it is a huge ship! Would love a tour someday!!
ReplyDeleteYour grandson, Jacob, is certainly off on an adventure we wish him calm seas and may he stay safe.
ReplyDeleteThe snow you get is always beautiful and white; what you do not get, and why we do not miss it, is the lingering snow that turns a dirty black.
Great new floor.
Hugs
Thanks guys! Yeah don't like the dirty black snow for sure! Loving my floor, it changes the whole look of the house!
