Same here, we were Navy for 22 yrs and my Dad for 27 years, My Dad in the "old" Navy where he was gone for 6-8 months and mail was hard to come by. We lived in a trailer growing up and I remember my Mom laying under the trailer in the snow holding a can of fire, I don't know what she had burning in the can, probably gas, trying to unthaw our water line.....You learned a lot being Dad and Mom on those long cruises..

Oh my gosh, you are so right. it is tough. We got caught during our second ten yrs. when Viet Nam broke out. He was on an aircraft carrier & was the first to respond when 2 of the battleships were hit.
He was gone 7 of our last 10 yrs. Yes, it was tough. We ended up married 50 yrs. though so we must have done something right.
I lost him 2 yrs. ago so I lost my real buddy.

Do you still have your birdcage? Isn't it amazing what you can invent? I feel sorry for the ones who think they have to buy every ruler, template and notion on the market just because some magazine tells them they will need it!
My only income is Social Security, but its amazing what my third bedroom may have that I can use!
I'll bet you enjoy your bird cage better than any that would cost $100! Necessity is indeed the mother...

I sure hope we're in the right site here so we don't offend somebody for talking other than quilting.
I don't know how anybody can survive just on Soc.Security. I'm sure you're very resourceful.
Is your Ridgefield near Battleground? I go right by there on I-5 on my way home.

If you'll PM (see I figured that one out)me, I'll give you further directions for the birdcage. There is more to it.
