Had Lynda (a grannie) and her husband Skip here for couple of days. They arrived on Monday morning and I had to have a very bad cold. Vel came over and took them out on a tour of the area, over to Ocean City on the boardwalk, then to Atlantic City to view the Casinios, then dinner. They got home around 7:30pm. I felt a little better by then, so we had pie and coffee and just talked and talked and I showed them pics of our Branson reunion. We had met in Buffalo, Binghamton and Clyde, so we had a lot of memories. Yesterday Vel came over and we took off around 10am. Went on one of our jaunts, over by the Deleware river and just looked at things. then headed back toward Cape May to see where the Ferry leaves for Deleware. It is a great place to visit. Went to the Coast Guard Museum, lots of interesting things to look at. then we went to the Lighthouse, got out and viewed the ocean and just looked around, We did go to the very end of Cape May where the Ocean and the Deleware Bay meet, stopped by to see my son, as I wanted him to meet them, stayed there a little bit, then headed home. This is not in the right order but gives you an idea of what we did. We had dinner at a restaurant called the Railroad Station. It was a former railroad station for the old Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Line of many years ago. Neat place, Food was good and of course the company was the best. We had a lot of laughs. We arrived home around 8pm, and Vel stayed til around 10:30pm. It was a wonderful day. We all turned in around 11 or so, as they wanted to leave as early as we could get moving. They were up when I finally moved around 8am. We really loved having them and I now feel like I dreamed it. Sort of lonesome around here now. I think they really enjoyed their short stay here and I told them the door is always open. I think Skip had enough of the water scenes. haha. Soooo much ocean and bay areas. I do hope they will come back again when they are able too. I know a week vacation does fly by, so much to do, so much to see, and so many friends to visit, plus house stuff. haha. So we had our own mini-mini reunion and it was wonderful.
