    Talking Remember that "Spouse of the Year" award I was up for?!?!

    well - I didn't win it!

    But guess what?!?!

    The gal that wrote that oh-so-sweet letter received a certified letter from the folks that sponsored the contest (which by the way 3 officers wives won.....) and they want to use her letter (out of the "thousands received") as one of the ones that will go into a book!! How cool is that!! She's making a copy of the letter for me to have!! I'll have to let you all know the title when I get the letter....

    Thought it was kind of neat - thought I'd share!!

    You are tops in my book! You got more gold stars than any old General deserves!!!

    There's no way officers wives can do more than you do. They are to busy having Tea's. (sorry not very nice I know) Whip me with a noodle and make me drop and do 20! (bad melody, very bad)
