Charles got his official orders today! He graduates on Friday, August 18, and must be back in Groton on the 31st, whereupon he'll fly to Europe to take up his duties on the - ugh - Dallas. It'll be out on a six month deployment, so the next time he's home will be latish February, after it returns to its base in Connecticut. He's expecting he'll fly either to England or Italy, either of which pleases him, and he won't be hideously disappointed if the boat's not right there, forcing him to kick his heels a few days.
Hard to believe two months from now he'll be on a submarine somewhere in the eastern Atlantic.
BTW, if anyone is interested, here's a bit of Just Believe, a song the children in the MusiCamp show both sung and signed.

Well, hard news and fun news all in the same blog. I do wish we could talk Charles into writing a journal!! Please try. Give him one, a manly one, of course, I would really treasure reading it. A cleaned up version, of course. 19 year old fellow's journals really aren't aimed at Grandmoms. And then the signing song! Wow! That was fun, and does anyone know the kid who hopped up and down on the right with dark hair?? She ate too much sugar before!! Sigh.
What's odd is, I didn't notice the bouncy critter until watching the videos. Now she's very noticeable, isn't she? Then there was Bethany, who could occasionally be seen yawning. As Matt pointed out, in her place he'd be terrified, yet there she was, right up front, blasé about the whole thing.
