WORLD TRAVELER

WELL, WE FINALLY FOUND OUT THAT  GRANDSON  TOM  IS GOING TO JAPAN FOR 2 YEARS FOR HIS FIRST DEPLOYMENT.  HE IS SO EXCITED.  HE HAD REQUESTED TO GO THERE AS ONE OF HIS CHOICES FOR OVERSEAS.   THIS SHOULD BE A SAFER PLACE FOR HIM THAN MANY OTHER PLACES IN THE WORLD TODAY.  ONE NEVER KNOWS THESE DAYS.  THINGS HAPPEN WHERE YOU LEAST EXPECT  BUT I AM HAPPY FOR HIM.  A NEW CULTURE TO EXPLORE IS RIGHT UP HIS ALLEY.  ALONG WITH LOVING THE FOOD THERE  HE LOVES THE  CULTURE.   HOPE HE SENDS LOTS OF PICTURES AND MANY INTERESTING LETTERS TO HIS GRANDMA.   HINT    HINT!!
