Lyn, I live 2 hours South of Great Lakes. If your boys only want to do a day trip they could share Thanksgiving with my family. I'd offer they could stay over, but I won't have room. :*( My parents, sisiter and her family will be staying with me...plus my daughter's college roommate. They could take the Metra to the University Park station and we could pick them up at the train station. It's only about 15 minutes from my house. They'll be plenty of food!! I'll PM you my number...just in case they'd like to join us.

Whatever days are fine...just so they know that they are invited. We live in Grand Rapids which is 4 hours away. Last minute decisions are okay. Keep me posted.

Ruth thank you so much for the invitation. As soon as I talk to my boys I will ask them if they have the time to stay that many days. Kyle told me last night that he has Thursday, Friday and Saturday but I don't know about Cody yet. The reason Kyle hasn't left basic yet is because his iron levels are low. So I am hoping they come up real soon! He is supposed to see someone tomorrow and someone next week to see how well they are coming up. I am so hoping he will be here for Christmas!

Lynn, p.s. my husband is a paramedic if there is a medical problem that needs watching.

Lynn, we would gladly take both of your boys if they want to leave base. We can pick them up late Wed and bring them back Sunday if they wish. Or if they want to take a train to Kalamazoo MI we can pick them up there. We have room for both and would love the company since my son is at CP and not coming home. We have had other Sailors here with my son so I can give references if you want? hahaha If they are interested leave me a note on my page and I'll get with you to make arrangements. Tell them they will have a ball here and won't reret it. Anyway, the offer is there.

lol I have 6 kids. While I dont mind having someone I leave it up to my husband since they will be back from their underway right before the holiday. I am not sure if he is going to be in the mood for company. I will get back to you on it asap. I hate to think of someone alone for the holiday.

Thank you so much. If it is an inconvenience we do understand it is such short notice. He is 19 and loves kids. I have 8 grandchildren our home is never quiet. He also knows how to do dishes...lol.

Karen, there is always a bright side to situations :) i am sorry to hear your car was totaled though. I can talk to my husband and see if he minds us having someone over. As long as that someone doesnt mind kids :) we kind of have a few lol.

Hey Kimmy,
I got the rental but, they have already totaled my car and the other driver has no insurance the rental is ours for only 72 more hours. What really bites is I only had 5 payments left.:) oooohhhhh but I just realized I get a brand new car.....lol

Karen, if your car isn't drivable see if your insurance or the kid's insurance will give you a car rental. We just had someone hit our car and we're getting a rental while it's being repaired. :) Good Luck!!
