Welcome to Rat Camp

Howdy Y'all!

I hope this can be a place for us all to share our ramblings. The curse of 'Giddiyup!' (and the modern lifestyle) has placed us all far from the old ranch house (aka. Rat Camp), but if you're like me your heart still resides there.
Com'on y'all, show us what you're made of!

TEQUILA AND SALT

This should probably be taped
to your bathroom mirror
where one could read it every day.

You may not realize it,
but it's 100% true.


1. There are at least two people in this world
that you would die for.


2. At least 15 people in this world
love you in some way..


3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you

is because they want to
be just l like you.


4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone,
even if they
 don't
like you.


5. Every night,
SOMEONE thinks about you
before they go to sleep.


6. You mean the world to someone.


7. You are special and unique.


8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.



9. When you make the biggest mistake ever,
something good comes from it.


10. When you think the world has
turned its back on you, take another look.


11. Always remember the compliments you received.

Forget about the rude remarks.




So.....
If you are a loving friend,
send this to everyone,
including the one that sent it to you.
If you get it back, then they really do love you.



And always remember.....
When life hands you lemons,
Ask for Gin and and a mixer and call me over!


Good friends are like stars.....
You don't always see them,
But you know they are always there.





I would rather
 have one rose and a kind word
from a friend while I'm here
than a whole truck load when I'm gone.


Forward to all your friends.
And don't tell me you're too busy for this..
Don't you know the phrase

'stop and smell the flowers'?
See how many 'bouquets' you end up with!


Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Failures keeps You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,

But your own faith keeps You Going






Mail her back to me


'Worry looks around, sorry looks back, Faith looks up.'

This angel is sent to you.
You must send her to 8 people including me.


In 8 minutes you will receive something you have long awaited.

Have faith.

Pat's address

I got pat's address. I have talked to him every day and he seems in good spirits. He just got off work and is going to a Charlie Daniels concert tonight. He is in an office and his desk is 4 desks away from a two-star general - so that seems pretty safe.
His roommate was transferred to another unit, so he has his own room. He said that he and a Major are the only two guy with single rooms. that's pretty nice, too. I know he's appreciate any cards, letters, etc. from anyone. Let him hear from you and pass along his address if you get a chance. anyway, his address is:
Spec. Patrick Luadzers
17th Si B
Cob Speicher
APO AE 09393

Thanks for all your support of him. Love you all and talk to you later, Sally

Pat, Mary, and Zack


I found a good picture of Pat, Mary, Zack and their Boston Terrier, Gus. Thought I'd add that to the others. Love ya, S

Patrick Luadzers





























I just wanted to let everyone know that Pat left for Iraq yesterday. He will be stationed in Tikrit and is a Multiple Launch Rocket Systems Specialist. He will be stationed at Camp Speicher. I got to go spend a few days with him after Casey and Marie's party and we had a wonderful time. I am attaching a few pictures of Pat in his uniform ~ hope you enjoy. You all take care and keep Pat in your prayers. He will be there for a year.




I also have a couple of pictures from the reception for Marie and Casey. I added those, too.

Love ya all, Sally and Randy

Greetings from Arizona

As of 1 p.m. today in Las Vegas, Casey and Marie are getting hitched. They decided to get married in Vegas with no family since Marie's parents are in Germany. We are very happy for them. She is really a nice young lady and we like her very much. She heads back to Germany around the 5th of April. Casey goes back to Germany on May 18th for a teaching job. After that, I don't think the plans have been made.
Saturday, we are having a small reception for them at our house here in Buckeye. Mom, Skip, and Sally are coming down. Kevin, Andra, & Kendall will be out here as well plus some old friends of ours here in the Phoenix area. That's all the news from this area. Love to all, Carolyn Lee

Rat camp blog

Hi Family,
I just wanted to let you know that my youngest son, Patrick, will be deployed to Tikrit, Iraq on April 10. He said he will be one of the last, if not the last, groups to go. Just asking for prayers for his safety as well as all the other men and women serving our country.
I am at work and the kids have arrived so thanks for the short cut. Love to all, Sally and Randy
