How are you doing? It's almost impossible to actually chat online (I have no idea of the time difference between here and Australia.

I hope you and your family are doing well.

My youngest daughter is off to join the military. ( I'm both happy and proud (since it is a family tradition). She's plans to get married too. It's a lot for one so young (marriage a family tradition too). She brings me great joy and worry all at the same time. Parenthood is not for the faint of heart. I posted a poem about it on the Rhett and Link group Poetry Corner read it if you like. : )

Although I can't say she's so little anymore. She towers over me. L.O.L all my kids do. They love to say we love our little Mom. While I grumble five feet is tall. my son is about a foot over me. : )
