He's been sworn in!

It has been a busy couple of weeks here. I have been getting ready for the County Fair in August and getting ready for a garage sale that my neighbor and I have been wanting to have forever. I meant to take a picture of our great garage sale but kept forgetting the camera at home across the street. :o) We feel it was a huge success, even though I didn't get rid of everything. Ok, I know I had unrealistic expectations but a girl can dream can't she?

While I was preparing for the garage sale our son was up north taking his ASVAB and getting a physical in preparation for entering the Air Force. My hubby and I took our darling son to the airport Wednesday night for his journey. It was very strange to have him gone out of town for the night. We both looked at each other and the empty nest thing hit us...This is going to be a permanent deal soon! We are very proud of him and we are looking forward to watching him grow up and at the same time we will miss him terribly. As we went to pick him up from the Airport the following day we received a call from the recruiter inviting us to the Swearing in Ceremony of the the local recruits on the following day.

This past weekend we had a couple of Air Force F16's and a P51 in town for a local event and the new recruits were sworn in by the leader of the elite group of F16 Pilots. (I don't know my Air Force lingo yet so forgive me if I didn't correctly describe these brave men and their titles. I will learn in time I am sure.) Here are a few pictures of the event....

Proud Parents and the soon to be Air Force Man...

This was a very special deal for these recruits but I am not sure they really got that. They will someday. My hubby and I were so excited for our son not every recruit gets sworn in by an F16. :o)

After the garage sale Saturday, my hubby and I came down with a terrible bug. We thought it was food poisoning but then we heard of others getting it so then we weren't so sure. My hubby was still suffering today so he went into the doc. Sure enough it is a flu thing going around. I really don't wish it upon my worst enemy. I won't go into details trust me you don't want to know. We are still in the recovery stage so not much is getting done. We have a wedding to go to in two weeks so I am gearing up for that as I am doing the cake. Then the Fair is around that corner then the Son will be off to Boot Camp. Lots happening in the next month. I will try and stay up with it all. I do have knitting and crocheting to report but will do that later this week as this post is getting very long.

Until next time...
