My brother Dave is back in country from Iraq and he was in town on Wednesday and Thursday night last week.  He was just off of three weeks at Special Forces tryouts, for lack of a better description, and had to report back to Ft. Eustis on Friday morning. To say he was a little wiped-out would be an understatement.

We had a get-together with our grandmother, otherwise known as GG, my Aunt Lynn, Uncle Frank, Aunt Angie my cousin Chris and his significant other Angie and my whole brood.  Everyone was happy to see him and we did our best to help him regain the 15 pounds he lost in the last three weeks.  It was great to see him again.  Here he is with GG:
