We had a great time visiting Jessica, E, Max and Briana. We arrived on Thursday afternoon. We had a nice chili dinner and then went to watch E play softball. It was a beautiful evening.
Friday morning Dad, Jessica, Nola and I took a walk through the neighborhood. We ended up at the edge of a stone quarry. Old equipment was parked there and looked like it hadn’t been used in years. We had a nice bird list, including hearing the Prothonotary Warbler. Dad went back again the next day and found it and took a picture.
Dad and I took a trip to the World Food Market (formerly Sahara Mart). We found all sorts of goodies. They had a great selection of gluten-free items and NA beer. I was excited. That evening we ate at the Trojan Horse and then walked down the street to The Comedy Attic. They had a great show-I’m not sure I had ever been to a comedy club before. It was nice that Briana could join us.
We got home in good time and all climbed into bed so we could be ready for the big day. Max had to be at school by 9:00 but we came later, getting in our seats in the gym for the 9:30 start. Just think Pomp and Circumstance.
Briana came over with her cat Gigi and we relaxed for the rest of the day. Jessica put out a tasty charcuterie board at lunchtime and later we had a serious cook-out with all the trimmings. We spent a lot of time lounging in Jessica’s front yard watching for hawks. We got Turkey Vultures, Black Vulture, Red-shouldered Hawk and Red-tailed Hawk.
We had decided to drive home on Sunday, thinking we would miss some traffic. Our strategy worked. There were many fewer trucks and less traffic in general. Before leaving Jessica made some awesome Dutch Babies for breakfast. Great with blueberries!!
