After 3 days of long, exciting drives, we were ready for some "down time!" Our dear, old friends, Bill and Francine, offered us that opportunity. Today we relaxed! Francine and I walked the neighborhood, we all ate a great breakfast, Emma came and we played with her, played some Hand and Foot again, a walk along the bike trail to downtown Tiburon and its fountain, cards again. And then a JOB!! Putting up the canopy over their table on the deck. It had been taken down and repaired. Now it was time to rethread the cord and get it secure over the frame. We did it....and it didn't even take much time!! More cards, then dinner (delicious spaghetti with sausage and meatballs), more cards, then bed (on the early side compared with last night)!
Peter has known Bill for 58 years; I've known Francine for 54! As couples we've known each other for 52 years! Long time! We were in each others' weddings 48 years ago! WOW! Time does fly! We lived near each in Bowie for several years. Francine and I would talk on the phone EVERY DAY about 8 to plan our day! Since the late 70s, we've lived on opposite coasts but that hasn't decreased our times together! We have shared so many wonderful times on Cape Cod, in California, in Italy and in other exotic places, together, with our families and with the Arrows! There's nothing like dear old friends!!
