A while back we made plans to get together with longtime friends Stan & Elaine today while they were in the area for a family celebration, but we weren’t expecting that we’d also get to visit with Phil & Vera! We were so thrilled to see them when we walked into Clyde’s Restaurant and saw them seated with Stan & Elaine. Phil, Stan, and Steve were best buddies in high school. Phil’s sister Elaine and Vera were good friends back then too. Karen was the latecomer to the group. All three of us couples were married in the early seventies. We visited back and forth a lot in our early married years then not so much during the busy child rearing, career building years. Just as we were ready to start reconnecting with Phil &Vera they moved from FL to MD. We’ve stayed in touch but haven’t seen them since ’99. So just a lunch at a restaurant wasn’t enough. We moved the party to our deck then crafted an impromptu dinner of sausages on the grill and continued the visit in the dining room. The only one missing was the fourth musketeer, Chuck & his wife Terry. It was a glorious reunion!
Stotfold – A Family Adventure
With Karen’s sister, niece, and her family we visited Stotfold England to walk in the footsteps of ancestors and to explore a lovingly restored historic water mill.
