Amazing Intersection

Russ packed the car as I checked every drawer and closet. We had to make an early getaway from Owl’s head because we had a breakfast date in York, Maine. My friend from college, Jamie Karp Stone, who lives in Washington State was meeting us in York, ME. The chances of us intersecting somewhere between North Carolina and Washington State, was unlikely, but it just happened to be in Maine.

Jamie and her husband and her dog Charlie drove across the country to spend a month or two in New Hampshire. They just got there as we were just leaving Maine. We found one hour that worked. Amazing.

We met at Stonewall kitchen because they had outdoor seating and it was literally right off the highway. Jamie had been to Durham once to visit, but Russ was traveling so this was the first time they had met. It was so great. She had no trouble convincing Russ that we needed to visit them in Washington. It was too quick a visit, but we had a big long drive today.

We left Owl’s Head at 8:00 am and pulled into his father’s house in Bucks County PA just before 8:00 PM. Russ’ brother Dave was here and then his sister Nancy and her husband Tom came by. So we had everyone together, except Tasha, Dave’s wife. It was a good little reunion.

Shay eventually demanded to go to bed and I went with her. It was a long day, but at least we are more than half way home and we got to see fun people.
