SLIDESHOWS LOST TO ICLOUD

SADLY, ON JUNE 30 ALL THE LINKS TO MY SLIDESHOWS WILL DISAPPEAR WHEN APPLE DISCONTINUES "MY GALLERY" AS PART OF THEIR CHANGE TO ICLOUD.

I AM ALSO PREPARING AND PACKING FOR MY PERSONAL MOVE. ONCE I AM SETTLED IN A FEW WEEKS, I WILL START TO POST AGAIN AND LOOK FOR A NEW INTERESTING WAY TO SHARE MY PHOTOS THROUGH MY BLOG.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MY TRAVELS. I WILL FIX THINGS AS SOON AS I CAN.

Independence Day

June 27, 2009

So when is the Fourth of July not the fourth of July? Dave and Michelle are in England as civilian employees of the U.S. military, and so I was invited to join them on base for a U.S. Independence Day celebration on June 27. For some reason, the Brits don't really celebrate our independence, although Dave said one of the Brits viewed it as a day when they got rid of us troublesome Americans.


Nonetheless, the Yorkshire Regiment was there to help the Americans put on a fun day of kid activities, including "catch and release" fishing, rides, obstacle courses, homemade derby races, and for lunch--the ever popular hamburgers, hotdogs, lemonade, and funnel cakes. We didn't stay round for the evening bash. It's nice to be on the same side with the Brits these days.
