He graduated


Thomas has graduated from basic training. He is now at a new base. We had a great time visiting with him, his fiance' and her family. We had time to go sight seeing, the Alamo and lots of other places. Then we went to the graveyard where my great-great grandma, Fannie Anne Slater Williamson died in childbirth long ago. It was very moving. Our son has gone to a new base and is studying for his new field. So much to do, he will be gone for 6 months. But he and his fiance' have set a date, January 24th, hopefully all will go well. As you can tell from the picture of Cyndi and Thomas, there are some really strict military rules about PDA!

How fun! He looks so old to me all dressed up like that.... glad he's through boot camp tho, I don't think I could ever deal with the crazy trainers there!

Congratulations on everything!!! Thank you too for adding the picture of the headstone. That was so cool to have you call me while you were walking around the cemetery trying to find it and then to hear you exclaim "I found it!". Good ol' cell phones.

Hi Aunty Cathy. I'm so glad I bumped into your blog. Thomas looks great and it sounds like you had a neat trip. The Alamo?? You probably drove right by my house. If you're in the neighborhood again soon, let us know and you can stop by. We feed and water all of our guests.
