It doesn't look beautiful outside but it's certainly beautiful inside my heart! Keefe and I were able to finally have a Skype call. We had originally planned for Sunday but something came up on his end that interfered. Oh well as the parents say at the Naval Academy, "Semper Gumby"!!!This morning when I set down at my desk and begin going through my email, a Facebook chat window popped up with a message from Keefe saying he could Skype now. Well Mom jumped on the opportunity.
I was able to take a picture from our call. Even with headphones, he looks well and it lifted my spirits to see his face. Toward the end of the call the generator running the lights went out so we continued with a flashlight brought in by a Marine. He and I joked about how the eerie lighting effect was fitting for the season.
He mentioned he got two more care packages. One from me filled with Halloween candy and another from Ashley and Colin Murtaugh filled with cookies. I'm not sure he shared these items as he said the candy and cookies tasted good...all of it. Based on this report, I'd say that candy and cookies hold up well in the shipping process. :)
Well after spending time chatting and posting this blog entry, got to get to work. Here's wishing each of you a blessed day. I know my day will be filled with sunshine even if it is a dreary rainy day.
Semper Fi!!!
