Until the middle child finally comes to visit Mom in Alaska. Daniel returned from his third deployment mid March and is headed my way for a few days to check out the base here, guess it's in the top 2 of his next base pick. It will be a quick visit but I'll try to jam a whole lot of home cooking and spoiling into his visit!  kickstarter

Ed kickstarter Ed, He is married but they have no children, their dogs are their children. His wife was actually born in Alaska, her parents are retired Air Force but she hasn't been here since she was probably 2 or 3. I think they would be fine here as we are from the cold icky part of NYS and right now he's at Ft Drum. He'd be here in Anchorage at JBER. elf kickstarter

Very cool Annie, happy for you. My nephew and his wife own a home in Eagle River as Ft. Richardson was his duty station for several years between deployments. They plan to retire there.

I am guessing that the home cooking will include all of his favorites.
Have a good time.

Can I get adopted?  I'm still not used to the "JBER" stuff. I grew up on and around those bases and always think of them separately.  I know you'll love the stuffin's out of them. Ed
