happy fourth


Soft breezes are blowing and our flags are reaching for the wind. At the top, of course, is Old Glory.
On the left is the Marine Corps flag, flown in honor of our nephew, Ted Hubbard, who is in Afghanistan with Echo Company of the 2/8. Recent news reports indicate that Echo Company has seen intense action against the insurgents. We keep them all close to our hearts as we celebrate Independence Day.
On the right is the Hubbard family pennant, designed many generations ago by a sea-faring great-grandfather. It seems appropriate to fly it from our nautical flagpole, overlooking our beautiful Lake Canandaigua.
Happy Fourth to you all as we celebrate this important day and the 100th post on the JOOLZ blog.
