Daniel surprised me by coming home Thursday, October 9. I came home for lunch and there he was! He went to church with me on Sunday. Many came to shake his hand to thank him for what he is doing for his country. He was a little uncomfortable with this at first until I explained to him that he is representing all those in the military and we are all grateful for what they are doing. This picture was taken with my camera phone so it isn't the best.

I think he missed Brutus as much as he did anyone! The first thing he wanted to do was play with "his" dog.

We went out to Dawes Abortem this afternoon. He graciously donned his "monkey suit" as he calls it and allowed me to take a few pictures.
The weather was gorgeous and the trees beautiful. We didn't stay long. A sailor can only take so many pictures!!
He was glad to be driving again. He is taking his car back to Florida with him. He starts the long trek back Thursday, "insanely early" (as he puts it) in the morning in order to report at 0700 on Friday.
Just one more picture as soon as we got "home before he got out of his uniform. My shirt says "Proud Navy Mom". Can you blame me????
