FAMILY

 Petey and I just returned from a trip out east to visit our families.

My sisters, Lisa on the left and Stacey on the right are living in a brand new environment on the eastern shore of Maryland. Heron Point in Chestertown.  Between Covid and our own relocation, we hadn't been able to check out their new digs until now.

Here are the golfers comparing putters in the parking lot of Heron Point.

Above is lunch at Stacey and Johns "cottage" eating and talking with our son, Michael, who lives in Thailand.

Heron Point sits on the Chester River and the scenery takes your breath away. Boats and water fowl are daily entertainment.

 We left Maryland and headed up to Bethlehem, PA to see Peter's family. Here he is with his nephew, Mike.

Peter with our niece Stephanie's husband, Jeff.

Mike's wife, Michelle on the left and our niece, Stef on the right.

Stef and Mike are Peter's sister, Patty's kids.

It was a great trip.  Quality time with the small family that we have left.  Peter and I spent a few of the hours on our way home talking about how important family is to us.  We made a choice a little over a year ago to move and it could have been in any direction.  We knew by staying here in southwest MI that we would always be at least a 2-day drive from our families but we both feel bound to this part of the world.  

We also vowed that we would continue to make that dang drive as long as possible because we love our families.
