The men in my family have done military service as far back as the Civil War, but that's now come to an end, at least for now. Today was my youngest sons last day in the Navy and he'll soon officially be a civilian. In a few days he'll be heading home, where he'll be staying with us for a while until he finds a job. (shouldn't be long, his prospects are very good with his skillset and the local job market) We'll soon have two of our three children living locally, including at least one of our grand children, which is something I never thought would happen even two years ago, but the wheel of life turned in a fortunate direction. I'm typically not inclined to dump out my man purse, but this is pretty exciting for me and I felt the need to have share time.
