July begins

Jeff the proud father and Sam. Uncle John and my sister Donna from CT.
Mary Agnes and Sarah.


Matt & Beth from up in CT.
I'm experimenting with different sized pictures here.

Just had a T/Storm roll through, got a nice 2/10 in. of rain, the gardens good for another day.

No new pics. of Sam and of course no contact. Will not hear from her until 7/12, end of Phase I. They get to spend several hours with their host family off the academy grounds. On Monday 7/14 they head for Jacks Valley via a forced march for their Military training. I'm sure Sam's going to enjoy sleeping in 10 man tents, rifle range, obstacle courses and the like. Phase II will be completed on 08/02. Formal class' begin 08/07. Between 08/02 and 08/07 the Basics will be accepted into the Cadet Wing as 4'th class cadets.
