3 Joys in My Life

My family - most of the joys I have, I love all of you to the moon and back and beyond.......

My job - I'm serving my country in the only way I can, and I get so much joy out of working with the Soldiers serving our country. They are my heroes.

Being able to travel where ever I want, when I want! It is my dream come true. I'm on a working vacation! I'm the most blessed..............



3 Fears

I'm with you there, Tricia. I HATE NEEDLES!!!

That one of my Soldier's will be killed or injured down range.

Having my granddaughters not know me, or remember me. (tear, tear)


3 Goals

Find a house to live in here, then get home ASAP!! for a visit

Make a difference in someone's life.

Sail down the Nile and the Amazon and ride the Orient Express


3 Current obsessions

Finding a house that I like
Summer Clothes (It is hot here!!)
Sandles - gotta get some

I made it!

Sorry there isn't a picture to but with this yet, but I finally made it to Italy. I'm staying in the hotel on Post, and it is nice. I have air conditioning here, which is a luxury that I didn't have in Germany. I have been busy in processing, getting a drivers license, setting up my office, getting a new CAC card and much much more. I have an appointment with housing tomorrow, and hopefully I can find a house soon. Then I hope to get home for a little visit. My boss will be in the office tomorrow, so we'll discuss everything. I'll post some pictures when I get them. Willy took a photo journal of our trip down here, so there should be lots.

Venice

Napoleon was mentioned about this structure. I cannot remember. The "needle" it is to me. Look it up, this is a test.

This is such a good picture of Carmen. We were over on the island of Moreno, where they make that famous glass. It as cold, rainy and it snowed. That is Venice across the bay.

Just Chillin'


Our hotel offered us afternoon tea and crumpets. This is it. The first hotel we got was horrible so we found this one. More to our liking and "expensive" tastes.











The beautiful Church. It is awesome. Now part of it is a museum. There are four horses right over the middle arch that were given to the Pope my the Roman Emperor.


This is the famous plaza. All around the sides are stores and cafes. Expensive, but I'll tell you, the food is great here.



Captured Carmen and MOM feeding the pigeons. I could not believe mom let this happen!! They just surround you, even if you dont have any food.



Mom just had to have her picture with these guys. As you can see, they didn't like it. JERKS



One of the many bridges that cross the canals.




One of the many "statures" MOM, Carmen, me


Just a busy street



all of us at breakfast, they always give a "shot" of alcohol after. I'm the only daring one!!
That is my MOM and my niece, Carmen.




All of us having dinner. Carmen, me, Mom and best friends, Diana and Cathy.

Volunteer of the Year Luncheon






My office mates and I nominated our secretary (well, he is a guy and probably wouldn't like to be called that) for volunteer of the year award. He works a 40 hour week and keeps all of us on schedule and actually runs the office. He is an ex marine, and doesn't take any flack from the Soldiers. Anyway, he won. My office mate, Nicole, and I got a little board during the luncheon, as you can tell. But we were happy Drex won.
