 Wendy is getting ready for a trip to England and Scotland along with family friend and cleaning lady, Laura Rice. Check in here over the next two weeks if you are interested in the sights and adventures of these two intrepid travelers. We will try to update every few days, beginning on April 29.  Our trip has begun! Uneventful flight to London, subway, bus and taxi to hotel in Bath. So far we have explored Bath on foot and bus, visited Jane Austen Center, Roman Baths and the Bath Abbey. We’ve had glorious weather and excellent food. Heading back to London tomorrow. (May 1). Stay tuned for updates.  We are now in London and having a great time  too busy to post much but here are a few highlights   Charlie Chaplin in the the park The Tower of London And our favorite, right next to our hotel, the Tower Bridge 

Spring in North Carolina means visits with friends

 Here's what we have been up to in March and. April: Wendy went to PA to celebrate her very much younger sister's birthday. It was great to see Michelle as well as her son and his family while there.  Aren’t they all beautiful? Chris continues to work at Dinner Bell Farm one morning a week. He gets a good workout and enjoys the connection to nature as well as the banter with Farmer John and Farmer Stephanie.  We enjoyed visits from Baltimore friends as well as a trip to New Bern to see beach friends and a Grateful Dead Tribute Band.  We celebrated Sheila’s birthday. It’s a big number, shh, don’t tell! We helped our church throw a huge Easter Egg Hunt with over 200 folks present to hunt eggs, play games and eat hotdogs! And we celebrated Easter week with a lovely Easter service at our church, First United Methodist Church of Graham, complete with bell ringing, AND a protest on Saturday.  In April, we enjoyed a wonderful visit with Chris’ brother, Tom.
