My hero
November 15th, 2007
I practically blog about everything, but I always like to keep it private when it comes to things about about my DH and my boys. But I’m breaking my own rule (again) because I’m so stinkin’ proud of my DH. The T-man was named Coast Guardsman of the Year for Astoria (OR) from the American Legion in Ilwaco, WA! You can read the nice article friend Connie told me about by the Pacific County (WA) sheriff here. And if that’s not enough… the T-man was asked this morning to be the Grand Marshall of the Seaside Holiday Parade! I suppose I’ll be sewing my super hero a cape and crafting him an extra large crown with built in neck brace soon… but he’s so worth it.
But the T-man can’t have all the fun… I’ve asked him to refer to me as Mrs. Grand Marshall from now through December.

Farting around with needle & thread and then blogging about it.
Congrats to the T-Man, that is quite an accomplishment. Isn’t it nice to know that others think he is just a awesome as you think he is?

Give T-man some you-know-what-kind of hugs from the chicken lady! And give D a high five, since the hugs might gross him out. :) tee hehehehehe

November 15th, 2007Wow, that’s really cool! Congrats! Does this make me a Grand Marshall-in-law? Can I get a sticker or something? I know, I know… I immediately think of selfish ways I could usurp the benefits of someone else’s accomplishments. =)

November 17th, 2007Wow! I didn’t know I was talking to blogging royalty! *curtsey*
congratulations to your hubby and the woman behind the great man!
beware of cape making.. speaking from experience here.. I made one for a family member and to say he was UNIMPRESSED is an understatement.. but then again, he is a CAT and cats aren’t impressed by much at all.. excitable, yes, impressed? no.. LOL to say he was UNHAPPY about the super cat cape (complete with hood balaklava type headgear) is an understatement… so unimpressed I have been unable to find cape ensemble since…

November 18th, 2007Huzzah to the Mr. and Mrs. Grand Marshall! How exciting for both of you! Thanks for sharing with us! What color cape are you creating? Aqua, right?
November 18th, 2007Awww… I am so proud of him and you as the Mrs. Grand Marshall (I am sure you are going to need a crown for the occasion). Congrats!!!

Congratulations T-Man on an obviously well-deserved honor (and thanks for guarding the coast!!)!
November 19th, 2007Wow! That’s awesome. Not sure if you all remember her or not but Mark’s aunt Eva & Uncle Bob say Big Congrats. Eva is the President currently of the Auxillary of WA State. Monica you might remember her as the one who drove the “Volvo.” Have a Great Turkey Day. Can’t wait to see the photos from the Holiday Parade in Seaside.
