Your wife is gorgeous Pecos! No wonder you two are holding on fast to each other. :D But I know looks isn't the only reason.

Thank you have that so right. There is a lot to my lady.
When we were in Korea, my command started sponsoring one of the local orphanages and it really touched Helen's heart. My sailors, marines and I made bi-monthly trips out to the Heavenly Grace Orphanage to for building repairs, along with Christmas Parties for the youngsters with individual gifts, and summer hot dog cookouts. One of my sailors was married to a nurse and she was a major help. The local Army medical facility gave us a lot of "expired" medications which were critical when we had outbreaks among the kids.

Separately, Helen and I spent a lot of time with the children, taking groups of them out to dinner, and lots of shopping trips because they always needed something. I was very proud of the way that Helen took the lead for many group efforts and the things she did for the children on her own, like teaching them English.

This photo is Helen taking three young ladies out to buy shoes. Most of what they wore were hand-me-downs, and getting something brand new that they got to pick out was a real treat.Mrs Pecos With Some Ladies.JPG

I like that shirt. Not everyone can pull it off, but it looks like a "vacation" on you.

Thank you. My wife made the shirt for me. She saw some day of the dead fabric, sent me a message with a picture of the fabric and asked if I'd wear a shirt made out of it. I said definitely. It also has a skeletal bride and groom, mariachi band and dancers.

That shirt deserves a name.
One of my colorful shirts was named: "Goody Bye Boss" and I wore on my last day of work.
I had a real wild looking shirt named "Tequilla Sunrise", for the occasion where:
" You wake up one morning with the sun beating on your face and find yourself leaning up against an adobe wall outside a border town in Mexico. Your head is pounding and you wonder what you were drinking and how did you get here. Then you look down and wonder: Where in the hell did this shirt come from."
I've never been there, but I used to have the shirt just in case it happened. I wore it so much that it faded away.

Fun is where you find it, and your shirt is fun. Kudos to your wife for making it.
