Back in South Jersey ...

Again, when Daphne was visiting in New Jersey, we drove south to Millville and spent some time at Wheaton Village.  Among the many interesting activities was a chance to make your own paperweight working with molten glass (approximately 1800 degrees Fahrenheit) which Daphne proceeded to do.  Images of her paperweight are provided for your edification and enjoyment.

The latest word from Paul Grady via email from Iraq, Mon, 05 Jul 2004 16:44:08 +0000: "... We celebrated the 4th yesterday so I did not get to write letters as it was required for us to be there all day. I just got off the road and am able to write a letter or two before i go to bed. ... :) I love you bunches PGM"

Back on Memorial Day ...

Daphne was visiting in New Jersey over the weekend of Memorial Day so we found a parade (small) to attend in Maple Shade Township.  In the course of the event, we were photographed for the weekly newspaper.  I was able to find some copies of the edition afterwards.
