Countdown!!

Well, this time tomorrow Lamar will be in the air on the way home to us. He and a few other Chargers are the last to return from the original group that left for Bahrain this past summer. I do know from conversations that we have lots of boxes coming home. One that is too heavy for me to pick up and being shipped on a cargo plane. I think that it is a camel:) We will pick Daddy up from the Norfolk airport on Friday afternoon after his LOOOONG 8000 mile trip. We will probably make it back to South Carolina some time next month. For those of you who are unaware, the welcome home party will be held on March 25th. We had to postpone the original date of March 10th. That is the Change of Command weekend up here, which translates into, "no you cannot have that weekend off, Lieutenant Hardy." Anyway...everyone mark your calendars for the last weekend in March at PaPa Whetstone's house. Hopefully the weather will be nice, the food will be there, the drinks will be flowing (yes, Walter, the beer is included in this statement,) and the music will be loud. We cannot wait to see everyone! And what a better reason to party than a welcome home from the desert!!
