My sister, Nat, had two sons and two daughters. We have had several family reunions in the past few years and whenever we get to visit family, it promises to be a great and meaningful time. Faith Richard and Liz Riordan are wonderful ladies. Faith resides in Maine with her husband, Thom, (not misspelled) and Liz in New Hampshire with her husband, Brian, both great guys. It seems that all spouses of descendents of my father enhance my family beyond all reasonable hope and expectations.
The first picture is Liz and Brian in their backyard and the next, Faith and Thom in their yard. The two sisters, knowing our love of boats treated us to an amazing lunch in Portsmouth. Brian had to work that day but the background to the third photo was taken just outside the restaurant. Love these folks!!
Our next stop was Louden, NH, the site of the New Hampshire Speedway and the venue for two NASCAR races each year. We saw the race at Louden yesterday. My favorite, Matt Kenseth won and he now leads in points for the championship. There must have been a few thousand RVs of all shapes and sizes and we were all crowded together dry camping. Dry camping means no electricity, no sewer dumps, no cable TV, no wi fi and no water. We just fill our water tank and run the generator for most hours of the day and night.
The first photo is leaving the pits for the start of the race. It was a blast! The third photo shows the pits, garages and the support transport trucks; one for each driver; each holding at least two cars and a zillion parts and tools.
We are nearing the end of our summer travels. Now in Concord N.C.for a one and a half day visit with George and Ryan. Unfortunately Cindy remained with the business in the Keys. Then a 1 1/2 day viisit with Jon, Rosemarie and Brock in Charleston, S.C. Callan is in New York for her freshman year in college so we will miss her too. We plan to be home Monday, September 30th. Will do a wrap up blog later.
