    Thumbs up I just talked to

    I just talked to my #4 son. He was on his way back from Ohio. He went to visit a friend. He's been working for his sponsor before school starts.Zack's at the Naval Acadamy. His sponsor is a retired big wig from the navy. They decided my son needed a car so the brought him a truck. I am dumbfounded. He has his own roon at their house. They are taking him to the Virgin Islands for spring break. They have 2 kids that they sponsor. My son is having the time of his live. He makes this mother so proud.

    Yes I'm out of my mind. It's a dark and scary place in there.

    Sounds like you can be really proud of him Fern. Part of this has to do with how you raised him, you know? Good for you and your son!

    When my parents lived in Annapolis, they sponsored 3 cadets. They loved those girls, They got their own rooms etc etc. too. They still keep in touch even after they have graduated and are on the high seas.
