welcome back

Who would have thought you will return to a far flung city in America to visit your son and daughter-in-law.  In Greensboro of all places, where you stopped to visit over a decade ago on your first trip to the US.

And who would have thought…Your acts of kindness to a family newly arrived in your country is a thin thread of grace that will link two hearts several years later.

PA memories

[Dragging ourselves out of bed and deep sleep early in the morning to capture the mysterious, almost eerie, scenery.  They have ghost tours around town as well, so Craig and I were trying to spook each other out as we drove through the fog.

It was refreshing to see the landscape here:  big, open spaces, crop fields, pretty towns with tall white steeples jutting out,  rolling hills in the distance, just like the picturesque American country of Grandma Moses' fame.  (We just missed out on seeing Amish country in these parts).

Our history tour around Richmond, Washington DC and Gettysburg fostered friendship, adventure, and heaps of photo ops!   Here we are at our lodge before heading back home; Fall Break, 2008]
