Yeah, baby, pack your summer duds, girl!

Then, there was Ellie’s reaction to the whereabouts of my reassignment. Priceless, and one for the treasury…
“You’re being stationed in Bermuda?” she exclaimed. “Oh, my God, that’s awesome!”
I picked her up and swung her around. “Yeah, baby, pack your summer duds, girl! No more New York winters for us.”
After an amazing week of R&R, our parents drove us to the airport in the New York City.
Our dads made a big show of controlling their emotions upon our departure, but that was cool. 
Big boys don’t cry.
“Don’t forget to write,” our moms called. “Send us plenty of pictures.”
Ellie and I waved as we headed towards the gate and our future.
“We will!” she and I cried in unison.

"This anthology consists of twelve wonderful stories with the inherent theme of love and war contained in them. Out of the twelve authors, Uvi Poznansky is the only one that I was familiar with previously. So, in addition to becoming acquainted with new authors in this set, my 'to be read' pile has grown considerably. That is not a bad thing with the wind chill of a minus 10 as I write this review!!"
