A major step for me. July 31 I rode shotgun with my son-in-law Alex and two grandkids to Boston area. First drove to niece Alice and husband Don's house in Summit, NJ, visiting overnite with them and daughters, Ellen, 17, and Janet, 15. Also got to see Alice's mom Betsy and dad Alan. Betsy is bedridden and suffering from dementia. Not sure she recognized me but this was a pilgrimage of sorts. Daughter Deb & family and Megan had boarded a schooner in Maine on Thursday to spread Lloyd's ashes and one of his sailing hats on the waters of Penobscot Bay on what would have been his 75th birthday. Campbell kids too small to go on schooner so we met them at the Krisko's house in Danvers on Sunday. After showers and fresh laundry, Monday we drove to Cape Cod, minus Perrin, 16, who is taking a college course this summer. Andrew, 12, came to the Cape to play with Tyler and Jenna. Krisko's had gotten a 3-bedroom, 2 bath house near beach for the week.
Wednesday morning Megan and family drove me to the Hyannis Airport to take a puddle jumper to Boston to catch a JetBlue (our servers were calm women) flight to BWI. After cool temps in New England, my glasses fogged in the heat and humidity when I got home. I timed it right because temps got hotter after I left Cape Cod; house had no AC. It was a pleasant 5-day outing. Nostalgic for the days Lloyd and I and Megan and Dylan sailed Cape Cod and NE Atlantic coast.
