Great Day With Old Friends

After days and days of rainy weather, the skies cleared and made for a beautiful day for us to visit with high school friends. Sarah came over from Oxford, Maryland. Poor thing had to deal with the Bay Bridge traffic causing her to run late so we didn’t get to visit as long as we would have liked.

We started out by picking up Dianne, who lives close to me, and driving down to Solomon’s Island to visit with her twin sister, Elaine – known as “Tippy” to us. Tippy has also retired from her job and is now babysitting her first and only granddaughter and loving life.

We visited with their mom for a while, then headed over to the “Island.”

I always wondered why they called it Solomon’s Island because I didn’t think it was an actual island. I thought it was a peninsula. Tippy pointed out that it really is an island. As you are leaving the island and passing J.C. Lore & Sons Oyster House, you go over a bridge that you don’t realize you are really crossing a body of water. Coincidentally, my dad in his geneology research found that we are related to the Lore’s. Small World…

We had a wonderful lunch at the Captain’s Table, which was really lunch/dinner since we didn’t get down there until really late.

Sorry family, tonight there will be no dinner…..
