I was really sorry I missed your call for my birthday. Thanks for the picture disk; sorry I haven’t gotten one off to you. I can’t believe with Linda here I completely spaced on picking your things up at the armory. I’m going to try to make it there tomorrow. I am having a party here tomorrow and it should be a lot of fun. All girl-sleep-over optional. I don’t want any drunk drivers. We’re playing WII, Karoke, cards, ping-pong and just being nurses gone wild…wish you were here to celebrate. Can’t believe I’m 50 hoping for a better decade than the last one. I’m glad things worked out for your leave. Is this a short one? Are you going somewhere? Well I’m off for now. Love, MOM
