Not sure if I mentioned that I am a Navy Mom... and this Navy Mom is missing her sailor. Alex called last week from the Seychelles - after having maybe one too many rum drinks - lol! He's having a blast doing the "world" tour aboard the USS Harpers Ferry, LSD-49; visiting Hawaii, Hong Kong, the Seychelles and many more ports of call to come.

Not sure where Alex is this week, or next - some where in the Indian Ocean? He did send me a Facebook note this week, requesting that I do not send any more chocolate. Apparently, the ship is underway somewhere in a hot climate and the chocolate melts all over everything else in the care-package boxes. Oops.

Here are my favorite men, enjoying our fabulous Half Moon Bay weather this past January when Alex came up for a quick visit before the ship left San Diego.

I am SO proud of Alex and so proud of the person that he's becoming. Toasting his success this week with his pre-deployment gift of Bulleit Bourbon to Tom. Cheers to the the US Navy!

And because it's spring on our coast and we can finally start living outside again, I decided to change up the colors on our deck and add some nautical touches with a few new indoor-outdoor pillows from our store! Loving the fun bright yellow, navy blue and aqua combo for this spring.
