Talked to my mom today and found out that my nephew Wayne is back at Fort Carson, Colorado after a year and a half in Iraq.

It's been a while since we waited for our boys to come home from war.  It hasen't gotten any easier.  Happy to hear he's home safe and sound.  When you talk to him, tell him "Thank You" from me, please.

Barkeep I need a drink and if everyone is agreeable I will buy another round.

Sorry it has taken so long to get back but I have been working in our  blackberry orchard.  I have been cleaning out from around each bush.

Thanks everyone,  I heard from my sister Gail and she said that Wayne told her that it was everyone's prayers that got him through being away from Becky and their children.  

Butler,  I will be sure to let Wayne know.

Gotta give an "Amen" to what Butler said.  Hope it won't be long and they'll all be coming home, but 'fraid it doesn't look that way.
