A TRUE HERO

FAMILY SEND OFF FOR THE 204th MEB FORWARD

Their company flag being put into it's container to be sent with them to their destination.
Paul helped put the flag away

 Then Paul gave a beautiful speach about how families are important to his men
and how he appreciates the support of family and friends
 The commanders receiving line.  Paul got big hugs from the family as well as a hand shake.
 Cool, there behind Paul is Zack Putnam (Dee's son) singing and playing his guitar.

OPENING UP THE KITCHEN AND LIVING ROOM

FRIDAY, MARCH 8th - THROUGH THE 15th
THE CURTIS BOYS HAD SCHOOL OFF ON FRIDAY,
SO WE ASKED THEM TO HELP US AT THE OLD HOME.
WE FILLED BOTH THE TRUCK AND TRAILER WITH ITEMS FROM OLD KITCHEN
CABINETS TO TORN DOWN SHEET ROCK , THEN WE TOOK IT ALL TO THE DUMP.
JOHN THEN STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN MAKING NEW MESS BY TEARING OUT THE KITCHEN WALLS.  THE BOYS AND I PICKED UP AFTER HIM.

 BETWEEN JOBS THE BOYS CHECKED OUT THE BACK YARD
 FINALLY PAPA JOHN GOT TO THE WALL BETWEEN THE KITCHEN
AND LIVING ROOM, THIS WAS WHAT THE BOYS WERE WAITING FOR.....WHO KNEW YOU COULD HAVE SO MUCH FUN!






 THE NEXT WEEK PAPA TOOK OUT THE STUDS AND STARTED
ON THE ELECTRICAL WORK

TALK ABOUT A NIGHTMARE, THE WIRES WERE ONE BIG TANGLED MESS.
WHEN WE PULLED OFF THE SOFFITS THE WIRES JUST FELL AND
HUNG THERE LIKE A HUGE SPIDER WEB.
