Fair Winds and Following Seas

Here we are in the ocean state of Rhode Island attending the graduation of Offspring #1 from officer candidate school. He's in the second row on the far left. Check out the white shoes! These uniforms are awesome. I got lots of pictures because I doubt he'd wear this uniform willingly. Last night we walked on the wharf in downtown Newport. The air was calm and warm. We could hear live music playing. Some guitar player was playing "My Woman From Tokyo." The wharf was crowded with people. We were in a crowd. People stared at the handsome young man in the uniform. I wanted to say, "He's with us!" We wandered onto a dock. Yachts were tied on both sides of us. At the end of the dock a ferry boat to Jamestown parked and asked if we were going to board. We said no and watched the boat navigate away making small waves in the harbor, We picked out constellations in the sky. We had a moment to remember.
