Ruby Red Tuesday--WELCOME HOME

My Husband's Unit Finally Made it home Sunday, just in time for Valentine's Day. After spending a year in a Afghanistan, the families were gathered for a Welcome Home Ceremony, in anticipation of seeing their soldier.
You might recall one of my last posts, that I had mentioned my husband actually came back earlier. Not because of the best circumstances, but not the worst either. My husband had to come back due to Heart related issues, and ended up having a Cardiac Oblasion to remove an extra pathway in his heart. Scary Stuff! And though he was "home" he wasn't home. I'm not complaining....I did see him on weekends, and he we did spend the holidays together, but he wasn't even at his home duty station....he was 3 hours away. It, at times, was more difficult than having him half a world away.
In any case, his entire team is back, safe, sound, and with their loved ones. Including my husband. He was released from the Warrior Transition Unit, and allowed to come back to his actual duty station a few weeks ago.
I couldn't think of a more perfect subject for Ruby Tuesday!!

    BEDTIME?

    A woman who always saw red,
    Could not get it out of her head;
    Her dreams were red-hot,
    Although she was not
    Exactly Miss Scarlett in bed.
