We went to Margaret's this afternoon. Jesse was home for his first 8-day leave. He's finished "School A", and been promoted to Petty Officer 3rd class, electrician's mate. He'll start School B on 16 July. And, as the fates would have it, his cousin (on the other side of the family) has also just finished his School A in the Navy. He doesn't report until early August to his ship at Mayport, FL. So it was a great family celebration with the two young men. I forgot to take my camera, so I'll have to wait until Margaret sends me her pictures to post any.
The food, of course, was incredible! Hamburgers, brats, just-picked tomatoes, just-picked green beans, two slaws, two potato salads, macaroni & cheese, squash dressing, pinto beans. And, just so you'll know the true meaning of heaven, corn on the cob which had been picked immediately before cooking. And gobs of desserts, including home-made ice cream. There were maybe 20-25 people there, mostly Bobby's family. A very special afternoon!
And Heaven? Just picked tomatoes, just picked corn on the cob, and most especially Family!
Today's picture is Jesse on his graduation from basic training.
