I can't believe I've never done a military scrapbook page for Papa Bear. I should be ashamed. There's several pictures in particular that come to mind that I need to scrap. There's one of me and him in Fort Lee, VA, right before he was sent over to Saudi. It felt like the end of the world to me. We had been married one month when he was called up to duty, and married 4 months when he was sent to Saudi. The day he flew over was the day the ground war started. I was so worried - but my Daddy was beyond worried. Between the 2 of us, Mamaw had her hands full. But then, there's another picture that comes to mind. One of happy faces the day he returned from overseas. Me holding a goofy little heart-shaped sign with tinsel around the edges of it.
Anyway, until I find those pictures and do something with them, I'll have to enjoy these 2 pages of Papa Bear and the sweet little picture of him in uniform. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, the "Smoking" page fits right in. He'll be firing up the smoker in just a few short weeks. Can't believe it's almost here!
your scrapbook pages are always so amazing! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI know you are proud of your veteran. I cant wait to see the pix of you holding the sign with the tinsel. :)
