VISIT WITH BARRY AND FAMILY

March 28 – We left for Raleigh, NC on Saturday afternoon; arrived at the Elk’s Lodge in the rain. To make things worse, they had no space available for us. It’s the first time that has happened. My son, Barry, got on line and found a mobile home park that could accommodate us for the night. We drove back to the other side of Raleigh in the pouring rain, but felt fortunate we had a place to stay. After setting up, we went to Barry’s for happy hour (we really needed it!! HA HA). After which we all went out for dinner at a neat new pub.
After dinner, we went to Grandson Thomas’ favorite place – The Cupcake Shop near their home, and had delicious cup cakes for dessert!! My CRAZY guys!!

On Sunday morning, we again went to Barry’s for pancake breakfast!! UUUMMMM!! On the drive over, Ken noticed we only had one bike on the back of the car. He stopped on the highway and checked. Surely enough, his bike was no longer on the bike rack. What could we do?? We continued our drive over and there on I-40 was Ken’s mangled bike along side the road. We can only hope it did no damage to anyone else when it fell off in the rain the night before.

They are raising chickens in their backyard. Here’s the family and chick!!

The chicks have really grown, but are not laying eggs yet!!

After a good but an all too short visit, we left Raleigh and headed for our hometown, Richmond, VA.
