Off to the big bad world

I spoke to my nephew this afternoon, just an hour before he ships out. His first voyage with the Navy. He was excited, scared, nervous, anxious. He has undergone many changes in the last year. From small town Nebraska to a base in Japan and now off on his maiden voyage seeing sights and having experiences that most of us can never imagine. I am so proud of him.

I am loving this computer age. When I was a tot, the science fiction movies showed the ability to talk to anyone anywhere, now it is true. Via Skype, I had a three way conversation with my mom and my sister in three different states. Best yet...it did not cost anything (if you don't count the cost of computers. ;) )

Baby Bear is kind of getting into the horrible three's. (We missed the Terrible Twos so maybe we are due.) We were having spaghetti for dinner. She had finished what she wanted so was playing with her food. For some reason, she decided she did not want the noodles on her plate so decided to put them on my place mat. I asked her not to put the noodles on the table. She very succinctly told me she had put them on my place mat and not on the table. Sigh.
