Day 58

Today was a good day.  I got Gabe off to the bus, then I came back home and putzed around til the commissary was open.  I went and bought lots of food for a cookout we're having at Brian and Lacy's house tomorrow.  When I got home I baked up some cookies (Cinnabon sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies...yum!), after which I spent a while sitting on the back porch talking to Lacy.

Gabe went to a L.I.N.K.S. for Kids workshop this evening (for those who don't know, L.I.N.K.S. stands for Lifestyles, Insights, Networking, Knowledge, Skills...it's basically kind of like Marine Corps 101).  Here is a shot I took of all the kids with their ceritifcates (and Gumby...lol):

He wasn't sure about going (especially since he was the first one to arrive, and he was worried he'd be the only kid there), but he ended up having an absolute blast.  Taryn's doing the L.I.N.K.S. for Tweens workshop in a couple weeks; he's hoping she has as much fun as Gabe did.

And on that note, I'm off to bed.  See everyone on day 59!!
