First we purchased our home in Nova Scotia. Wendy thought we had lost our mind, until they came to visit and saw how lovely a spot it really was. Next Gill visited and decided to buy a lot across the bay. She was the one who called Wendy and Clausen and convinced them to buy the lot adjacent to us. The Mitchell's soon followed by buying the lot next to them. Soon, our home was being refurbished at the same time as the three new homes were being built. Christmas 2001 we all celebrated together in Nova Scotia, all in our new homes.
Mary commented that we would watch each other get old and die, summer after summer, just as her parents had done at Carmel, California, and we agreed. But what we have also been doing is to enjoy each other's children and grandchildren, year after year. After all, we all lived in Bethesda when the children were young. Now we get to see the children of the children, which gives us great pleasure.
Thursday, Tojo and Connie and their two boys arrived from Baltimore and tonight Tucker and his three children will arrive. Soon, Mitch and Vickie and their three children will visit too. It will be a great celebration when we all get together. Ken and I are grateful that we live part of the year right next to our good friends. And we are are especially delighted to be able to see the children grown up and with their own children. It is one of the great pleasures of life.
