Today @ 5 p.m., Aaron and his team deployed for the Middle East. He flew from here to a military airport in Maine. He will fly from there to Ireland. Then he'll go to his destination, Katar, which is a base in northern Saudi near the Iran-Iraq border. If everything goes according to plan, he'll get there around 1 p.m. tomorrow afternoon.
At this point they are still telling him 4 months. He's worked hard to get his team ready. I'm sure he'll do a great job. Sis said most of their missions will be at night.

I arrived in good shape with Mitzi and Opal. They were funny this morning...it was Mizi, Opal and Momma. I could tell what they were thinking..."Oh goody, a road trip! And we've got the ole' girl all to ourselves!" They did great.

Once here, Sis met me at the gate...got a pass for me...and we drove to her house. It's adorable. Built in the 1920's with tall ceilings and a darling double Dutch front door. She did a wonderful job decorating. She painted everything ...white woodwork, white ceilings and walls done in Eddy Bauer colors...wicker, mango and canary yellow. It's one great design on a dime success!

Barney has been a good host and shared his fenced in backyard with the girls. Unfortunately, Mitzi didn't want him to get up on "his" couch and snapped at him! Keep in mind...Barney weighs nearly 30 lbs...and Mitz is 3 1/2! We all knew who would run the show!!!

Sis is doing good tonight...but this is going to be tough.
All for now from Langley.
Thank you for keeping the kids (...all of them A&A&B&D&B:) in your prayers...Love, Sue
