I'm back from vacation. It was a fun time, but bittersweet. My son has orders to return to the Persian Gulf - Iraq, but will probably be diverted to Afghanistan. I won't see him for at least a year, maybe longer. We had a lovely Thanksgiving, nice weather (70 degrees my last day there in Virginia).
We went to Christmas town at Busch Gardens on Saturday night. It was a lot of fun. I rode Griffon for the first time (I'm a roller coaster junkie) and this one is a real screamer - especially in the front seat at night - two 90 degree drops. This picture is of me and my three Virginia grandsons, Brendan (8), RJ (20) and Tyler (13).
I returned home to the incredible news of the four police officers in our community gunned down in cold blood. Lakewood is my brother's home and where my parents lived for many years. My heart goes out to the family, friends and co-workers of those dedicated officers.
I have sent out half of the orders received during my vacation today, and the rest will go out tomorrow. Again, I appreciate your patience.
