Days 40 -45

Nov 12 - 17. Hello one and all. Well it’s been an interesting last few days. I’ve been on travel to Michigan and am currently in Virginia.

I spent the last couple days in Michigan with Kathy’s dad, Bud. Bud & I are very close and back in the day we used to do a bit of deer hunting in Ludington, MI – birthplace of the Bean. I hadn’t made the pilgrimage in many years so it was very nice to touch base with Kathy's kin after a long absence. All good salt of the earth people. It was also good to note that after almost 34 year of marriage they now refer to me by my name instead of, “this is Kathy’s husband”.

Beanie has been settling into her new “home” and office. She said she has the nicest “container” on the base. She even got to “design” her furniture. You’ll see a few new pictures she’s was able to get to me. She’s been so busy it was nice to get a couple updates. I think the picture do a pretty good job of clarifying what Beanie tries to communicate to me. It really gives me a much better feel for the area. I personally thought the shots of her in uniform were pretty hot, but then again, there is something special about a girl in uniform. It’s starting to cool off in Afghanistan so she’s migrating into her winter fashion.

Hope you all enjoy the pictures. The labels are all mine, so if they're messed up it's all me.
