Thanksgiving

Barry and I spent a quiet Thanksgiving by sharing a late lunch and an afternoon visit to the movies to see "Lincoln".  We ended the day at some friends for dessert, wine and a bonfire.   It was a beautiful and simple day, although we missed having at least one of the boys home.   Due to their schedules, we weren't able to chat until Friday.  I scheduled a group video call on Skype which was sort of successful.   There was a 10 second delay so holding a multiple person conversation was a challenge but worth the effort to have the entire bunch on the call.

Keefe had to patrol on Thanksgiving Day, but his troops managed to find a lone turkey in the desert which became their dinner.  I didn't ask for details. ;)


Liam prepared a simple dinner and shared it with a friend.   Rory spent Thanksgiving with his adopted family "The Haney's" who live in Idaho and Oregon.

I am full of gratitude for the technology that allowed us to connect with our adult sons who are scattered to the four winds.

Recently a Marine Blog published this article about 2/7 Marines, Golf Company.  The article describes what Golf Company has been up to in Afghanistan.   Golf Company Article Quoting Lt. Murtaugh


Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season.

Semper Fi!
