BROWN: FOUR: BAKE SALE, YUM!

Before we left for Hawaii, 

Family Day for 2-81 AR in Alpha Company back at Ft. Knox called for a good ole bake

sale. The wives decided to host a bake sale to raise money for our FRG: Family Readiness Groups.  Family day brought people from all over the country to spend time with their soldiers during their basic training. In fact, I directed a family to the bathroom and in conversation found out they drove all the way from the Florida Keys - Wow! So in preparation, I made several batches of cookies,

cupcakes, brownies, and a cake! My kitchen was a mess and my mixer was tuckered

out. Nevertheless, we set up that day and had great success. Solders who were

prohibited by their drill sergeants from sweets for months and months had loving

mothers who wanted nothing but to spoil their "babies." So we were able to satisfy the sweet tooth of many hardworking soldiers!

   

May 7th: Military Spouse Day

Just like to take a moment and say thanks not only to the men and women who have dedicated their lives to our country, but also to their families. Today is Military Spouse Day and one of our very own (the brown one) is the loving, supporting, proud wife of one great Army Lieutenant. So thank you to the hardworking servicemen and women, and also a BIG thanks to their husbands and wives who support them every day.

We love you, Rose, and wish you a Happy Military Spouse Day! We'll continue supporting you all the way to Hawaii!
