Arnon and I had some wonderful time together. I had him all to myself for the crack of dawn shift from 5:00 until 7:00 give or take a half hour. The first days activities included a long walk to Germantown Road where we shopped and ate lunch. The next couple of days we did laundry and some cleaning as it was pouring rain. Sunday we drove to the Jersey shore and played in the sand and surf.
Arnon is featured here on the quilt that I made for him.

We enjoyed a full Sunday today, starting around 6:00 with a quick breakfast and drive to Vancouver where Laura and Carl ran a 10K. It was the first annual Ft. Vancouver Run. It was a great event from the flat course, to the goody bags to the awards and raffle. Carl got a medal for second place in his age division. and both he and Laura won in the raffle. After a warm up shower we headed off to the Mt St. Helen's visitors center with Laura's Japanese friend and short term roommate, Marina. The weather was cool and we even ran into (not literaly) feet of snow, but it was a great drive and picnic.

Welcome aboard the USS Teddy Roosevelt - a Nimitz class, nuclear powered aircraft carrier and home to John and the "Big Stick" team for the last 4 m0nths. The Roosevelt is currently deployed and considered the most battle tested ship in the fleet. TR's task is to maintaining open sea lanes of trade and communication and wherever deployed the TR brings 4.5 acres of sovereign US territory and 97,000 tons of diplomacy.
Thanks to all the men and women that serve our country and our world with integrity and courage.

What a great day it was 4 years ago. Clear and sunny, though chilly, for such an exciting event. Today I got to talk with John, who is in port, and have coffee with Debbie. I know they wish they could be together, but each is doing well and busy with interesting and exciting plans.

O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, and are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O Lord, You know it all. You have enclosed me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? . . .
Your hand will lay hold of me. It I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, and the light around me will be night," Even the darkness is not dark to You, and the night is as bright as the day. . .
For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. . .
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would out number the sand. When I awake, I am still with You. . .
