The whole family came for our Easter spread and egg hunt. We had ham, Turkey, empanadas, lumpia, deviled eggs, sausage cheese balls, Filipina bread, potato rolls, scalloped potatoes, green
Sim and I rented a 2 bedroom casita in San Miguel de Allende for February and March. I flew to RDU so I could fly down and back w Sim. We spent a lot of time with his daughter Lee and her husband Richard. She directed a Sondheim revue which was wonderful. We saw several other plays and had several pizza dinners at Lee’s including a Chinese dinner w yummy Dim Sum.
Every day Sim and I walked to the pools which were fed by underground mineral water. Warm and soft!
I cooked a lot. In the evening we watched Jeopardy on YouTube and an episode of the original Star Trek on Netflix. When we returned to RDU I spent some time w Sue Goodwin who came up from BHI. We had dinner, saw a movie, went to Palm Sunday service, and had lunch in Hillsborough. Good to be home in time for Easter.
Sorry I’m so long in posting. We had a big party for my 70th bday on December 10. Then a few days later I left for a sojourn to NYC, Maryland, NC, WV, PA, and returned on December 28. I started w Philadelphia Orchestra at Carnegie Hall with, Ned, Royal, and Christine Souders. In Maryland I visited w Rob Weinzimer, Linda McCaig and Susan Schappert. In NC I visited with Sim and spent a few days in BHI w Sue and Scott. Back to Fearrington then drove up to Ned in Charles Town for Xmas. More families arrived on the 26th for a pasta party. Then on to Sue and Steve in Garnet Valley for one night, then back home. I think I drove 2000 miles, mostly in ice, rain and snow.
I had a lovely time in Maryland seeing long-time friends, former colleagues, and family. Mary Marshall and I went to our parish retreat in Orkney Springs, VA over the weekend. Moody started this tradition 40 years ago and I was so glad to see it is still so popular. I attended choir practice at St. Andrew’s and was so impressed with the current music director and current singers. I was amazed at the number of people who recognized me while I was wearing my Covid mask.
There were lots of parties with various sets of friends. I especially enjoyed seeing cousin Deborah with brother John and Carol at the Jewel of India restaurant on Friday night. Saturday afternoon we celebrated my niece’s birthday at Catonsville Gourmet, a fabulous restaurant.
I even managed to get up to Bmo for dinner at The Helmand with Don and Millie. Yesterday I went to St. Andrew’s for church with Anna Jones and her younger daughters.
I got sad news on Sunday that my little Zoe died probably from esophageal cancer. Zelda died 2 years ago now they are both gone to glory. Watch this space for Halloween pics of my grandchildren in the next week.
