I'm glad they got there OK.

Yes, I felt bad too. We are doing another mailing the week of Thanksgiving. Matt's mom and Lyn have some set aside and I think will do 2 little groups that week, maybe 3.

A Sailor's Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, the ship was out steaming,
Sailors stood watch while others were dreaming.
They lived in a crowd with racks tight and small,
in a 80-man berthing, cramped one and all.
I had come down the stack with presents to give,
And to see inside just who might perhaps live.
I looked all about, a strange sight did I see,
No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stockings were hung, shined boots close at hand,
On the bulkhead hung pictures of a far distant land.
They… Continue

More Tiger Answers
Hi all,
I had hoped to refer you the Lincoln website and the Tiger link, but it is gone. Here are a few basics:
who can't go: spouses, boy/girlfriends, significate others-Navy doesn't want relations on the ship. It is still a fully functionable ship and the sailors have a job to do.
Who can go: parents, step parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, extended family. It is based on available spots, and health. First come, first served, then health issues are the deciding factor. I met a couple o… Continue

Tiger Cruise explained
Hi all,
I've gotten many comments and I appreciate that. My husband went to Virginia Beach today to see our son, so I have been busy getting him ready for his trip.
A tiger cruise is when the Navy allows civilans to ride the aircraft carrier from Hawaii to San Diego or Everett, Washington. I would imagine that the Atlantic fleet does the same. You live where the sailors live, in other words, there aren't guest quarters. And yes, I did ask my son that question. He laughed pretty hard.
It is an… Continue

Tiger Cruise
Hi all,
I am new to this site. It is inspiring to read about other boys and girls (really young men and women). My husband and I have just returned from the Tiger Cruise aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. We flew to Hawaii on 10-1 and set sail for San Diego on 10-3. What an adventure and I would encourage anyone else to take it if they can! It was an experience of a lifetime. We lived as the sailors do and boy, it is hard work!

- Sue, I actually haven't sewn in years. When we get back from Washington next week, I'll drag out my sewing machine and see if it still works.

Joni (Greg's Mom) said…
- Thanks for the pillowcase oinstructions. I haven't sewn in a while, but I'm willing to give it a shot. It's probably a lot faster than making an afghan.

Vickie - Rooney's mom said… - Well, if you're ever up this way I'm sure your hubby and mine would find a lot to talk about! On my profile you can see the back end of a '53 Ford Victoria he chopped. We have pictures of every car he's done. He's an artist at it, that's for sure.

Vickie - Rooney's mom said…
- Yes, those old cars are good for some quick $$ aren't they? We sold our '55 Thunderbird for a down payment on our first home. My husband and son restore cars - I'm embarrassed to tell you how many cars we have (and pieces of cars). My hubby teaches auto body repair.

- He's on the Stennis and we did a TC in July. What an awesome experience! I can't wait to do another one. My son loves Mustangs - he and my husband restored that one. He drives a 2005 and loves it also.
