Various happenings during November in Fayetteville

This post is for the family.... I summerized just a few events of November, and thought you would enjoy the pictures of some of them.


This first photo is Julies birthday flowers.... (Notice where she keeps her beret!)




Julie and Chuy reading her birthday card............ I cant remember for the life of me why Chuy has his shirt off here..........? Julie was just about to leave with her friend Darcy.....
to celebrate her 26th Birthday.




"HAPPY BIRTHDAY"

JULIEANNA!



Julie goofing around with Chuy, high five for finding the laundry cleaning stick!



Julie wearing Chuys hats, and fighting with Chivas.

On goofy days like this, anything strange and wierd can take place...its our way of venting the stress.............!
And, its needed for days like the one below where we are 'shut in the house because of dismal, dreary rainy days..... (just like Washington State!)

More shots of rainy dismal days. I took this one out Julies back door, to try to show how dark it got suddenly as a sudden rain storm blew in...... it was raining so hard, it actually looked dark outside!

This is SPC Darcy Sheppard as she is asking Julie to help her prepare her uniform for inspection. Darcy is going before the boards for a promotion to Sergent.

Julieanna providing her expertise...... giving Darcy a lot of hints and help to get that uniform picture perfect. Darcy was one of Julieanna's troops when she was a Staff Sergant at Fort Bragg. Darcy was also previously stationed in Germany and worked at AFN NEWS also, as a afternoon DJ for the radio.

Julie is not sure how the back view looks.......... Julie actually tried to 'steam the uniform while Darcy still had it on! That little act didnt last too long, as Darcy said: "OUCH!".... that's when good ole MOM suggested we get out the ironing board... (didnt take a lot of brains to figure that one out.)

The girls finally taking Mom's suggestion, and guess what? It worked!

Julie and her military friend that they call Fireman (he was previously a EMT before enlisting in the military) and he is also the one that was at the Robin Sage training where they had to give each other IV's for practice in case they have to do it in warfare to save a soldiers life.... well, fireman kept missing her vien, over and over and over...... Julie came home from that training with a HUGE bruise from all the missed pokes.

But! She got even! Now 'Fireman has to help paint her deck!

Julie helping to paint............

ALMOST DONE!!!

The deck got painted just in time..... November brought about Autumn in full eastcoast glory. All the trees turned bright YELLOW, ORANGE, and various shades in between. It is very pretty for the short time its like that...but soon afterward, you pay the price for the show by raking up the tons of leaves that soon cover everything!!!

This is a TOP SECRET photo! SHHHHHHHHH..!!!

Chuy would never speak to me again if he knew I put this on here! I, being the Stealth Mission Mom that I am, (have learned to become) grabbed the camera, to add this photo to my accumulating pile of what I call "Blackmail Photo's".

Just a favorite photo of mine.... !

More Blackmail.....

And ... the final nail to the coffin! I got him now!!!!! (Smile) Old tough guy Chuy used to HATE dogs when he lived in Mexico... He said they were only good for eating the familys scraps...and barking at strangers.... they NEVER let a dog in the house in Mexico.... let alone take a nap with one. Chuy is learning new ways.....

I hope you enjoyed a few glimpses into our November in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Until next time... Adios!
