Why don't you stop by?

Be careful with those words, everybody. Like Elwood P. Dowd in "Harvey", I am not only likely to say "w-w-when?" but I am also likely to show up! On our way south, I got in touch with an old Summerfun colleague who had married and moved to Maryland. One of Jeanne's e-mails said "come by sometime" so finally, after several years of e-mails and Christmas letters, we did! A beautiful home in Chesapeake Beach slightly damaged by a recent tornado but otherwise absolutely gorgeous.
A little further south our cousins Betty Ann and George, in the middle of Virginia, near Skyline Drive. "You're welcome anytime" she said so there we were. A lakeside cottage. A tad warm this time of year, but still a lovely drive in the country, especially over to a peach farm to pick your own peaches and enjoy a tasty frozen peach yogurt (or the peach-strawberry combo, yum!)
A third visit to the nephew and family in Henderson, NC. Another fine repast together.
And now we are headed for Atlanta, but first - I remembered that one of my VHS colleagues lived in South Carolina. And hey! It's right off I-85, which is where we're going. Look out, Sigrid, here we come!

This is great! A vacation and a "serial reunion" as you travel on your way to the convention!

It was wonderful to see you!

You come on back, now, y'hear?
