Poor neglected blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been frightfully busy with, well.. life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finishing up my nursing career and beginning my pharmacy career, searching for my run-away cat, family stuff, swing dancing, Red Cross work, air shows, sewing, knitting, painting, cooking, plus seeing someone... Every minute is filled with something I enjoy :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime, I'll be posting my grandfather Blair's letters home during World War II from basic training, England, Germany, France and Belgium.</div>

I'll write to the whole family in one letter but it's for all. Marilyn might send me some addresses of my friends if she will. I'll have you send me the rest of my money later. I have enough now. If you can get me a dog tag chain (preferably silver so it won't rust) take it out of my money and send it right away please. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> I think I'll make a good soldier as I'm already courteous, and know how to discipline myself. Also my college training will help a lot because we are to be the next best thing to a doctor when wer're through here. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> We started our drill today. It wasn't new to me nor will it be as I had it all in band (G.C.H.S.). We've got to be perfect soon to march in regimental parades.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> This winter we will have field problems in the cold (Brrr--). We also have to take care of casualties under fire here (all simulated of course) but the fire (land mines, machine guns, etc) are real. We either do things right on this or else!

I've been MIA because..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On April 25th I went to the <a href="http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/dpw/airports/ramona.html" target="_blank">Ramona Airport</a> because <a href="http://www.collingsfoundation.org/menu.htm" target="_blank">The Collings Foundation's</a> <a href="http://www.collingsfoundation.org/cf_flightexperiences.htm" target="_blank">2014 Wings of Victory Tour</a> was in town!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a big history nerd, my grandfather was an Army Infantry Combat Medic plus the 1940's are my all-time favorite time in history so how could I saw no?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always wanted to see big Bombers in real life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wanting to represent the American Red Cross since I actually do work there in real life, I put on my 1940's-era American Red Cross uniform and went.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was a B17, a B24 and a P51.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the tour coordinators liked my ARC uniform since it went with the planes and the Rosie the Riveter and plane mechanic reenactors there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He asked me if I wanted to come to <a href="http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/dpw/airports/palomar.html" target="_blank">Palomar Airport</a> on Sunday the 27th to pose with the planes and talk with people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Naturally, I agreed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went and had a blast seeing the planes again and talking with people. A lot of them asked to take my picture since I had my Red Cross uniform on (best $65 I ever spend). Quite a few had grandfathers/fathers/uncles that had been bomber pilots during the war. I even got to have lunch with a Flying Tigers pilot! We had peanut butter sandwiches and milk.Everything went so well that I was asked to come the weekend of May 9-11 to the <a href="http://lyonairmuseum.org/visit-us/" target="_blank">Lyon Air Museum</a> in Santa Ana.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I already had that weekend off anyways since I was supposed to go to the Submarine Ball with my boyfriend but he dumped me on Easter morning so my weekend was suddenly free, so why not?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus I met a pretty cute Swedish flight engineer too ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I drove up on Friday, checked in to my hotel, and headed over to the <a href="http://lyonairmuseum.org/visit-us/" target="_blank">Lyon Air Museum</a> and got to work posing with spectators for pictures and talking with people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I met 3 Pearl Harbor survivors; one of them even worked in a Naval Hospital Pharmacy just like I do!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I'm supposed to join the traveling/flying tour next spring so I'll be out of town for maybe a month or so.<br />
I'm trying to get a few different ARC uniforms together as I don't want to wear the same one every day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the Ramona Airport and Palomar Airport:</div>

Still home sick blaah.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having lots of onion soup, tapioca pudding and ginger-lemon-honey tea. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now I'm watching "The talk of the town", a 40's black-and-white comedy/drama.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ever since going to the California Balboa Classic '14 in January and seeing a presentation about the swing dancer Jewel McGowan, I've been hunting old films she dances in to watch!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Uh oh ya, my sister's wedding is at the end of June and I still haven't gotten a bridesmaid dress yet >.< </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's supposed to be tea-colored; I'm pretty confident I'll be able to find something in the local vintage shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I tried to go to work today, but my patient sent me home!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I get to stay home and study, knit, drink tea and watch Swedish crime shows :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm currently working on my first knitted sweater and I have to say, it's going pretty well!</div>

Still alive here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My sister got engaged last month and has her mind set on being a June bride so ya.. lots of wedding planning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm planning on taking my pharmacy state board exam in May.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got more Red Cross duties at the new Naval Hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still working as a home health care nurse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a very refreshing slower pace, compared to the busy hospital atmosphere I used to work in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got more time to spend and focus on my patients.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also makes for a lot of downtime for studying and knitting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh ya, knitting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#1 on my new year's resolutions list.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finally learned how!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel as if my world has expanded.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I do apologize for being so absent; picture-wise and word-wise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been terrible busy starting volunteering at the Red Cross on Camp Pendleton, starting a new CNA job, starting some modelling work, sewing, family stuff, health issues, taking care of my animals, etc., etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's good for me to be super busy though,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because I think too much.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday we went to the Houston Museum of Natural Science to see a film about the Mayan 2012 prophecies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was neat; we learned how they developed their calenders and used them with the stars to predict the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the film we walked around downtown Houston (it wasn't too terribly hot luckily) and stopped at a taco shop for some drinks.</div>

I got this sweet 1950's frock from work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a little plain so I replaced the tan buttons with black ones and added a 1950's belt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found my 1950's era beret at the thrift store on Fort Knox when I lived there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lucky find indeed! </div>

Meet Florence, my 100 year old boudoir doll.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spotted her in a cabinet at work nestled with 2 other boudoir dolls (still kicking myself for not taking them home too) and I just had to take her home with me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She really is in great shape for her age- her white and blue silk Edwardian dress is original.<br />
<br />
Travis told me that she is creepy.. I completely and heartily disagree, and told him to brace himself because I already ordered 2 more on Etsy from the 1930's and 1940's!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being the avid sale shopper I am, they were cheap because they need restoration, but I've been reading up on composition doll repair and am excited (and nervous) to give it a go.</div>
