Happy Independence Day

4th of July! The day the greatest nation in this world gained/declared Independence in 1776. On this day, Jan and I continue to prepare for our move to Italy. Its been a busy two weeks. First, Jan's mom had surgery which ultimately required Jan to fly home, my mom had a pace-maker implanted, we prepared the Rock Creek home for sale, cleaned the on base quarters, and I had surgery on my knee. Although busy, we found time to spend with our family--the attached pics show us enjoying Frogmore Stew with the kids, and Jan and I enjoying solitude at the Rock Creek house on the 4th. In the end, the pool is great, moms are doing well, house is under contract, and my knee is doing well. It appears as if we will make it to Italy after all. SF Wes and Janice
