Hi All, I'm late responding. The big day here was July 1, Canada Day, but we didn't celebrate it. For the 4th of July I put out the U. S. flag, the Marine Corps flag, and two "Don't Tread On Me" Revolutionary War flags that are my personal favorites. It is very cold here on PEI. We have beewn into the low 70s only twice since returning from NJ in June. Yesterday when I went into town, natives and tourtist were all wearing winter coats with hoods up. Eileen and I just finished freezing 80 quarts of Spinach. Everything else will be late. While in NJ we visited the Twin Lights at Atlantic Highlands and Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook. That was the first time I had been at Fort Hancock since an open house at the end of WWII. Has anyone been there? Our son Matt and two other Marines are coming home this Saturday for a week before deployment to Iraq at the end of August. Miss hearing from everyone. Jim from Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Jim, Glad your son is coming home again before employment, our prayers go with him. Congrats on being able to put up all that spinach. I saw on TV that your Island got a lot of snow, did that bother your garden?, or just make a nice blanket there.? Have not heard from you since Xmas when Matt was coming home. I think we still miss our Lee and all have kinda given up. Lets hear more from you.
