Susi same weather deal here. Still experiencing internet issues. It stopped raining long enough to get Benjamin 'out there' to do this thing. He was happy Suei enjoy your time with Daria.

Good afternoon, June - Becky - Ann - Audrey - Cathy - LaDonna - Susi - Bee - and AWL!!!
Prayers continue for you and your loved ones, and thank you for your prayers for me and mine...
Extra prayers for any in the path of fire and storm(s)... and for those who need extra helpings of divine intervention at this time... and a few extra for all students enjoying summer vacation... and for those who mourn... and for peace in our nation.
Thank you, all, for your birthday greetings! There were a lot of "little celebrations" that happened yesterday, so a very nice start to the coming year.
ππ΅ππ΅ππ΅ππ΅π
Yesterday the YM stuff didn't get done. The Kressling & K'ling2 showed up on our doorstep late-morning after their PT session with Coach Carmelot. After we took them home and I got a bunch of birthday hugs, we stopped at ShopRite to pick up lobster and steak. The lobster was my lunch and we shared the steak for dinner. Unfortunately, I slammed my left pinky toe (it's a lovely shade of purple) so I kept it elevated with ice and did some computer stuff and some knitting instead of the physical inventory I'd planned.
In the evening, Son#1 texted asking for the Kressling's JLS gear list (they were at the mall). We directed them to Boscov's, where they were just as successful as we had been for cargo shorts, a white polo shirt, and <ahem> new underwear. Then they stopped in here, to confirm that they got the right stuff and to place an Amazon order for a couple of final items. After they left, we flipped the TV between Olympics and PBS.
Today I MUST do the physical inventory since recruit training starts bright and early (0700) tomorrow morning. I've got laundry running. The Kressling will be here this evening; he can check the YM Trainers' Box to be sure they have what they need for Day 1. We'll see if he shows up early enough to get Italian take-away for dinner. There's no NASCAR running, so Olympics it is.
Meanwhile... coffee... βοΈβοΈβοΈ...
πππ£ππππ£ππππ£ππππ£ππ Be well! Have a healthy-eating day, all! πππ£ππππ£ππππ£ππππ£ππ

MJ, how many new recruits do you have? Susi, enjoy the time with Daria. Ann, good comfort food dinner.
The overcast lifted and Bob and I walked 1.5 miles round trip on the beach. Itβs not very crowded for a Sunday.

MJ, how many new recruits do you have? I don't have that information. I SHOULD have that information. I have ASKED for that information. <ahem>. Might be four. Might be eleven. Might be more. Might be somewhere in-between. So prep is extremely flexible. Plus, the rest of the unit is supposed to also attend (don't know how many days / hours) for their own training. Don't think that there's a plan to integrate the two groups.

June The new phone is quite a bit better than the old one even when it was working. After hearing what the other customer said and finding out it would take 2 weeks to get a refurbished one that's all it took to convince Kenneth and me. How nice to get together with a long time friend.
Audrey I am enjoying the new phone more than if I had gotten a refurbished one. The skateboarding was fun to watch. I am glad Leo and Nora enjoyed their trip. Nice you and Bob could enjoy a good long walk on the beach.
Ann Sorry it is raining again. I would gladly take your rain and I know you would gladly share it. Although it is hot and humid I don't know how even of a share it would be. Glad you slept well. Meatloaf sound good.
Cathy I'm so sorry your power keeps coming and going. I hope they can get it together soon. How frustrating.
LaDonna None of us are perfect with our eating. Just do the best you can. I know I could eat healthier at times but then I need to enjoy my food too. That's a nice trip to look forward to in September. We haven't been on vacation in so long. The phone is nice and I think I have all my apps reinstalled.
Susi Enjoy your time with Daria.
MJ I know you enjoyed those bday hugs.
We went to church this morning. So nice to be with all the ladies again and they were so glad to see me. My pastor's wife brought my jewelry from her sample sale and she was so sweet. She said she has missed me so much. She will be putting in all orders from the Mega Sale today. She is having an open house to show off the new line right now in her home but I don't know exactly where she lives and I was just too tired to go back to Bastrop.
Have a good evening all.

It's been a great day. Went to church, visited DD at the nursing home, picked up a Popeye's chicken sandwich and came home to eat it. After all that hype, I expected it to be better.
Who else claims they have the great chicken sandwich?
Took a nap. Not sure what I'm gonna get in to.
Have a great one!

Who else claims they have the great chicken sandwich? Maybe it's Burger King's Ch'KING, but a friend of mine said that it wasn't worth the hype.

MJ, no wonder you didnβt know how many cupcakes to order. With computer technology someone could easily send you a master list. The seasoned YMs could share some of the past yearβs experiences with the new ones.
Becky, sounds like your pastorβs wife is very nice. My phone is my instant information center. Itβs amazing how often I use it for basic information and it makes telephone books obsolete.
The kids are looking for tide pools, my suggestion. Weβve had discussions about too much screen time.
Bee add Chic FIL A to your list. Itβs also causing chicken part shortages at the grocery store.

The seasoned YMs could share some of the past yearβs experiences with the new ones. I have access to all the current lists (I have full access to the tech) - what I don't have is what the Commander and/or XO may have approved as far as people showing up or "maybe coming" or never coming at all but they're still on the "interest list". Recruit training is already being overseen by our 8-member youth leadership team, who ARE our "seasoned YMs". Thanks to Covid restrictions from February 2020 through not-too-long-ago, the rest of the unit does not have much to share - especially not the last TWO recruit classes, both from 2021. We're still waiting for some of our earlier endeavors to reopen so this new crew can have the same experiences that were available in 2018-2019.
