June and July have been hot and dry, so many people have headed to the beaches or the lakes.

Americans
In an odd and unexpected confluence of circumstances and impulses, this week on Flag Day, June 14, 2018, Marian and I become Naturalized US Citizens. After only 45 years as Permanent Resident Aliens/Legal Permanent Residents/Green Card holders, it was finally time to take the plunge and become official members of the country we call home. The last of our direct family members in the UK passed in 2015, so we are now the last outpost of the UK Viberts and, together with our two American sons, the start of the American branch! Little did we imagine when we stepped off the plane in Logan Airport, Boston in 1973 that this would be the outcome! But we own a burial plot in an historical cemetery here on Long Island, NY and its time to finally put down our roots!! Our gratitude to the many of you in NY, NH, MA, ME and – thanks to WordPress and Facebook, many others across the USA – who have welcomed us and made us feel at home here! We treasure you all. God has been good to us, more than we could ever deserve!
