Friends and Family


It was so good to see David’s sister and family in Olney, Maryland.  As an added blessing, we were able to visit with our niece and her beautiful family and held our newest grandnephew, not even three weeks old. 

We were truly thankful to have the opportunity to wash clothes (and ourselves!).  As always, Berda’s hospitality and food were wonderful.  It was great to catch up on everyone’s lives and reminisce about everything from the infamous bing cherry party to Guinea pigs, the New Orleans Jazz Fest, even on back to days on Stratford Street.  Your newest paintings are absolutely beautiful, Berda.  Thanks so much George for taking time to help us find some great places to visit in New England.

From Olney, we backtracked about an hour to Pohick Bay Regional Park near Lorton, Virginia, to spend Friday night camping with friends.  We had a great time with Maureen, Andy, Adam, and Lydie, sharing camping stories, catching up with SMRP, and watching Adam perfect his golf swing. 

We certainly learned how to camp in style!  With their big rig (complete with ice maker!), we enjoyed cold drinks and appetizers. They treated us to an amazing gourmet dinner sided with a fresh oriental salad.  The following morning, they introduced us to bagels and lox for breakfast.  Wow!  Their hospitality was endless.  Thanks so very much for sharing time with us!  It was positively delightful!
