Just a walk through the neighborhood on a beautiful autumn day in PA

Don't know what kind of tree it is but my guess would be red.

Made it to the top of the hill and heading east. My favorite house in the next development.

A leftover from Halloween

Another red tree

Vince & I drove south on a beautiful day in November to lovely Chestertown Maryland to say farewell to a dear friend...

Dearest Joan, you went so quickly. In September you were the picture of a happy retiree. So glad we had lunch on that beautiful, summer-like September Saturday afternoon. I will miss your mischievous laugh.

Michael turns 16

So many times I've passed this area when taking a walk at lunch.




I had to see what the plaque was honoring.
Such a small, humble, almost inconspicuous memorial
to some forgotten being, place, time...

Hey! Where the heck is the holly tree?!

Kenny's co-workers organized a benefit to help his girls, Barb & Bailey, in his absence. What a wonderful bunch of people! Their goodness is amazing.
