Points East

It was another beautiful, warm, blue sky day.

We drove to Rochester Hills to visit Doug and Odette for lunch. I was expecting to go out to a restaurant, or to order pizza, or maybe to have a sandwich. You have to know Odette to know what I mean when I say she prepared us a complete Sunday dinner...and we ate at the Big Table! It was very delicious, and the entire visit was satisfying and enjoyable. We had a great time reminiscing, passing on family news, and discussing events. Doug and Odette are in good spirits as always, despite a few health problems. They always manage to overcome.

On the way home we found three virtuals - they were all interesting - and it was good to have an excuse to stop and stretch on the way home.

We visited family in Rochester Hills today and came back across 59. We hit the three virtuals along the way. The history was interesting to us because we seldom visit this area. Thanks for the push for us to stop as we drove past.

We visited family in Rochester Hills today and came back across 59. We hit the three virtuals along the way. The history was interesting to us because we seldom visit this area. Kudos to those who aided in the restoration and creation of this small park. Thanks for the push for us to stop as we drove past.

We visited family in Rochester Hills today and came back to Ann Arbor across 59. We hit the three virtuals along the way. The history was interesting to us because we have not visited this area. We have blown past on the xway hundreds of times but never gotten off to see the town. A number of the local elementary school mom's were gathered out in front of the hall to share the news and gossip of the day. Almost as if we were in a time warp. Thanks for the push for us to stop look, and learn.
