50 years!

To celebrate Vin's parent's 50th wedding anniversary, we and his brothers flew to FL. One brother came from NY, another from AZ.
Friday,We had a 6AM flight, and guess who we found? Our neighbors had a 6AM flight to Miami!
little cloudy, and some turbulence ahead of the front.
blurry, but monitor says we are almost to Atlanta.
Oops, we missed connection (or they missed us). We arrived on time, but were seated in the back, then they had changed gates. We got to the door before our 8am flight, BUT they had already boarded the plane.
time to kill in Fort Meyer's airport as we waited for Vin's brother to pick us up. This is Henry Ford. He and Edison had homes in Ft Meyer's.
Saturday Gaspirilla, on Boca Grande.
about an hour later!
Here we all enjoy a lunch at the "Loose Caboose" Boca Grande Island's RR depot in the day...
Tennis on Sunday
Trip to bird sanctuary and park on Monday
plane
departure, connection in Atlanta this time was delayed and we got home about 1 1/2 hrs later than we thought we would.

Pat's 1 year anniversary is today. He left for BMT in San Antonio from Fayetteville, a little unsure of what was to come.

Today, he called me as he walked to work at 4:00AM (Las Vegas time).







































He is a man who takes on responsibility and has gained respect from his Officers and peers alike. He is serving country, and like so many of our brave men and women in uniform, sometimes gets discouraged with it all. But, still believes in what he is doing and hopes to do his best. We are proud of him!

Hoping to see him in November, this is if he ever gets his tickets...;-)

The one drawing he sent to me. A co-worker draws each new person who comes in. The likeness is incredible...can you find Pat?

The wedding pic is a spoof! ( he tried to fool us with pics and saying he and Amy got married...ha ha)



"Core Values
The Air Force bases these core competencies and distinctive capabilities on a shared commitment to three values: Integrity first, Service before self, and Excellence in all we do."


Vince and I really liked these values and wished that more people would adhere to them. Sounds like a good thing, doesn't it?
