A week of changes.... JT traveled to Japan for his 1st duty station, Gelica hates good-byes but not as much as the sailor man. Tim moved to a new level of independence ~ even if it's less than 10 miles from home. First steps to somewhere further (perhaps) next year when Kilgore College tells him he has to go be a professional student somewhere else - lol. Rick bought me a dozen roses because I was a little sad to see my kido stretching his wings. I found this unknown flower while fishing with my buddy on Lake-O-the-Pines. It reminded me of these young people bursting away from the security they know.
