I was born at Eddie's Air Patch.....then we moved to White Sands, then Cape Canaveral (sp?) then Dad went to Germany, then he came home & soon sister was born at Parks...I think, but that doesn't sound right....
Anyways, all us kids were born at a different base.
Grew up in trailers...LOL
Now ya know why I like small places........LOL

NO...I just remembered she was born at Andrews AFB.....not Parks.

We lived at another base in Texas for a while, too...cannot remember the name of that one.

(Lancaster ???) no it is Lackland I think....hey I was little then !

My poor Mother, can you imagine 4 kids & having to move, and move, and move ??????????????????

My father was in the Air Force for a long time. I was born in Wiesbaden, Germany. He had been flying helicopters and then switched to C5s, so we eventually ended up in Delaware. He left the military and we were able to convince him that we should move out here in 2002.

My mom had her own problems with the whole process, like being stuck for a while in the south where there were lots of cockroaches and large spiders. At least she only had me to deal with!

My mother-in-law had 4 kids and was a Navy wife. My mom had 3 and was an Air Force wife. Both of our families moved all over the US. I grew up in military housing and went to 3 different elementary schools and 2 high schools. It's been so nice to live in one place for the past 12 years!

Don't know if anyone posted about this, but you need to be a WFF member and call Albie or Ann and tell them what your bringing. or ask them who is in charge of that this year

Well I learned my lesson about leaning any plywood against walls on the inside of a run to block wind. Fed the birds this morning and when I went out a few hours later, the plywood was knocked over, probably from the EE chicks flying up and playing on it. I figured I'd go pick it up and get it out of there for the time being. I lifted it and almost screamed. One of the 8.5 week silkie chicks was splatted under it. The poor thing was barely breathing and was so cold and stiff. It was still about 30* when I found her.

I scooped her up and stuffed her in my shirt to get her inside, she started trying to cheep within a minute. On a towel and right in front of the heater while DH mixed up some warm sugar water. I got a little in her and she lay flopped sideways in front of the heat for about 20 minutes. Then she finally stood and I was so happy. I had her in a carrier in the bathroom (warmest room in house) all day.

We had stuff we had to get done, so when we stopped at the house to drop stuff off I checked on her and she was resting still. When we did get home around 3 she was up and talking to me when I opened the door. She'd eaten a good portion of her food and was acting normal. I took her out to see her family and she was so excited and wanted down, so she did get to eat a little grass. I left her out with them since she is acting fine and is much happier with them.

oh gosh! I've had that happen too! glad she recovered! poor thing!

I just want to say thank you to all of you for letting me be a part of this thread, even though I am from the southern border. The Oregon thread is VERY slow. I am pretty introverted, exact opposite of my DW, so I have a hard time meeting people. This forum allows me to talk, without talking. I was really hoping to make the WFF next weekend and put some faces to names, but my youngest son(16) has organized a time trial for his school and the rival school in the district(and some more schools including college kids). It is a track 3k, so the kids can see their current time and figure out what training(how many miles per week) they need to do between now and track season. I will likely be photographing the event. This kids is absolutely addicted to running. My oldest son has moved to Elgin Airforce Base to go through phase 2 of Army EOD(Explosive Ordinance Disposal) schooling(this is where ALL phase 2 EOD schooling is for all Branches). He will get to come home for Christmas. Yay.

Glad your here Trav!

please tell him thank you for serving!!!

Hey, we love Oregon! We recently moved my mom to a long-term continuing care facility that she really wanted to go to in Newberg. She went to college at George Fox, and she REALLY wanted to retire at their retirement center. I pushed against it for about 4 years. I finally agreed to take her down and have a look at the place. When I saw my extremely introverted mom suddenly become popular with all the people she grew up with and went to college with, I realized I had to let her go. She's very happy there. Oregon is such a beautiful place.
