At Brother’s in MD

  1. My oldest brother turns 80 the end of July when I’ll be in Pacific Northwest, so decided to visit with him and his lovely wife before I left the area. Arrived Monday, 5/30, after Shenandoah. Strangely, the turn onto Old Village Road from Mechanicsville Rd was not possible as it was closed due to some unknown reason, so I called my brother and he guided me to their home. I came at the right time to help them with issues resulting from a recent kitchen renovation. So, we’ve been busy straightening, cleaning, and reorganizing amidst conversation and laughter. Yesterday we took time out to enjoy a good lunch at Cracker Barrel, which was fun, even playing checkers for a bit! I love them and am doing what I can to be of assistance. The beautiful grounds with flowers and birds are a constant pleasure, like this dinner plate magnolia
