Summer Visits with Family

Our niece, Lauren, graduated from Clarksburg High School on Monday. We were so proud to be able to be present at her ceremony and celebrate this momentous occasion with the Bokor family. We took Lauren kayaking on Sunday for her graduation gift. Tried to kayak on the Potomac with no luck. The heavy rains have caused closed to flooding conditions down in DC, so we headed back to Boyds to paddle around Black Hill Lake. Lots to explore. Great day!

After our whirlwind trip driving down to Maryland on Saturday with an early return Tuesday morning, we were surprised to find out that my aunt Mary Jo was coming to the east coast this week. A very rare experience not to be missed. It's been nearly 20 years since I have connected to Mary Jo. So there was no way we were going to miss the occasion.

So Greg and I took the trip down to Massachusetts yesterday afternoon to make dinner with Mary Jo and friends. We had a wonderful time and only wish we could have visited longer. Looks like we will have to find ourselves in Indiana one of these days, so that we can connect again with my brilliant, inspiring aunt.
