Lots of Sand


Kuwait

When I checked email this morning there was a pic of the Soldier Son in the desert. He tells me that with the sand, heat and strong breeze he keeps expecting to see the ocean, but it’s not there. No ocean, just sand. HA!

It has to be hot in that uniform …..

    Reminds me of the story of the boy who was overjoyed to recieve a room full of horse manure for his birthday.

    “With all this horse____, there must be a pony here somewhere!”

    Happy surfing!
