Still Slowly Makin' it Back to Maine


Here are Pixie and Lynn Cleek.  We met Lynn shortly after our migration to Mexico in 2007.  She and her dear husband, Gary, had to un-retire and go back to work for a few years.  They live in Washington D.C. When we went to visit, though, Gary was working in Arizona and was unable to return for our visit.  We spent five days with Lynn and saw many sights in he Capital.  Here are some photos.  Most are obvious, but the first is the 9/11 memorial at the Pentagon.  
 Here I am with my hero, FDR, at his memorial...






 The library of Congress and the National Botanical Garden...
Now we are in Philadelphia visiting my family and preparing to head to Maine on Monday, ending our long journey.  Here is my step-mom, Joy.
and my step-sister, Joanne, with her husband, Brent.  They graciously watched Chuy when we were in DC.  They have a little dog, Chester, who poses here with Joanne's son, Eric...

Before arriving in Philadelphia, we stopped in Centerburg, Ohio to visit my long-time friend from Brown, Dennis, and his wife, Deb.  We enjoyed a wonderful evening and look forward to connecting again soon.  Here's a photo of Dennis and Deb...


Now we're looking forward to celebrating Easter here, then we're off to Maine, finally!
