Visit

On Sunday, Mike and I ventured over to Baltimore to visit and have lunch with Michael and Mikie. Snow was piled everywhere on the streets and we had to park quite a distance away. Michael came in his vehicle to take us to his place. But before we left, there were backhoes, bulldozers and dump trucks moving and removing all those massive mounds of white stuff and his street was cleared. Amazing what can be done if you are efficient, unlike our Homeowners Asso. which has done next to nothing to plow us out. Cudos to the city of Baltimore.

We had a very nice brunch at Regi's, which is about 1 1/2 blocks from his townhouse. It would be really nice to live in a city and be able to walk to whatever you want. And the community atmosphere was great. Would like to try it sometime.

Big Surprise!!! They are moving back to Charlotte. He has gotten another job offer that he can't turn down and they seem ecstatic to be going back. Their house has not sold so they will be moving right back into the old life they have enjoyed there. Sometimes things just work out. Also they are expecting their first baby in a few weeks but I'm sure they will work all this out just fine. Congratulations Michael!!!!
