I live just down the road from Joint Base McGuire, Lakehurst and Dix.....planes in and out all day. I sit on my deck and love watching all coming in. Since they have combined the three bases we have Air Force, Navy, Marines and Army and I am a USMC Widow. I am so happy when I see those transports coming in with our troopsreturning from overseas. They do a lot of training here and we have an old silo here on the farm that some of them use when they practice landings as the place to make the turn. They use a certain runway when they do that and you can always tell what they are doing because they all take the same pattern. It is such fun watching. I am so proud to be an American.

sorry, off topic here...but I came on to show you my babies. They just turned a year old and this is all that is left of 105 cuttings that I took last July. I lost them all in the greenhouse over the winter. It was a very difficult winter for me to try and keep the humidity and heat levels just right because it was such a warm winter. Things just got too hot and dry and that was the end of that. They are beginning to bloom and will continue until the day they die. These little guys never seem to quit blooming. Jasmine Sambac 'Maid of Orleans'...easiest plant to grow for containers or gardens.
