Katie was in Yokosuka for some firefighter training. She has duty while in port while they do the upgrades.

How are you sailors liking the barge barracks? What have they been up to since they've been back from Australia?

Yeah Robin! I know you are so glad to have him coming home. Enjoy all the time with him and take tons of pictures to look at when he leaves. Be sure to do something goofy so you will have a memory to laugh at!

Marianne, That was sweet of your sister to do that for her son and his unit. Heidi, Hans' sister threw in a package of skittles and Hans said he ate them first. That tickled her . Hans' gift from us was a nice Docker pull over shirt plus the goodies I included. I guess right on his size too as he said it fits. His birthday is next week so I am glad he received it early. I decided to do the navy rackpack for his Christmas gift this year. Time got away from me and I didn't have it ordered. I will probably make some more homemade goodies and mail them off, especially when he can get it in such a short time. At least they will still be reasonally fresh and he can share with his shipmates. He may be popular for a little while. LOL

Hans probably new there were homemade goodies in the packages, so he couldn't wait to open it. You just might have to send more closer to his birthday;) He'd probably like that.
When my sister Barb's son was in Iraq with the Nat'l Guard on his bday, she baked brownies in a disposable metal pan, wrapped it with saran wrap and then foil, and sent a can of frosting and sprinkles for him to share with his unit.
