The Joys of Family and Friends

We (Maddock and I) headed for Maryland to see Cares and J. Saturday Maddock and J hung out in Hagarstown while the new Mrs. Shep and I headed off to visit the Huntleys in VA. Lovely hanging out day! Took Carter for his basketball photos, then McDonald's for our fix of soda and chicken nuggets, then off the Carter's basketball game...which his team won!!!! Then we dropped the Carterman off and us three ladies headed to PF Chang's for a quick (2 1/2 hour) dinner. Did I say quick...for us two and half hours of eating and talking is quick. The only thing missing was Mrs. Midgley, our British contingency, Leah. She and Rik are busy getting ready for their first baby and boy did we miss her.

Then dropped Miss Lisa off at home and then onto to Frederick for Jason's little sister's 25th birthday bash. Goodness, just typing it all out makes me tired.

I am so blessed to have so many loving friends and family members close by. I miss the ones that are away but I surely do appreciate the ones close by.

Just and update, Marshal should be leaving for the UAE any day now...let the games begin!
