Just found out this morning one of 
my old shipmates passed away this 
morning. Don't have any details
yet but it seems he went in his 
sleep. I usually check facebook
once in the morning and once
in the evening. Read it mostly 
and every now and then post 
something but not often.

I think she's a pretty good cook, but
have not eaten at her table so can't 
really say. Mom's not complaining though
she is glad to have them there and so
am I.

Bingo!
chat with you soon!
