HANGING OUT WITH NED IN CABIN JOHN
May 19 & 20, 2010
GOOD FRIENDS NEVER GROW OLD
Camille felt honored to take the customary photo of Ned and Bob in their sunglasses.
It’s become a time honored tradition, reaching back thirty years.
A FIXER UPPER
Ned’s house was a construction zone when we arrived but he and the rest of the crew worked like wild people and put it all back together in time to served dinner to friends Frankie and Jessica. They followed the directions we’d given them and found themselves a couple of streets over but called and we talked them on in. We were having such a nice time talking and eating, we forgot to take pictures but you can look at this nice photo essay from two years ago by following this link: Frankie and Jessica’s DC World Suffice it to say both Frankie and Jessica are looking fabulous and doing well. They pulled up in a cool little zip car and showed us how they unlock the doors by holding a magnetic card against the windshield.
NEW GARDENS
When Ned visits us, we garden. When we visit him, we garden. Here are this year’s new beds with sweet peppers and herbs.
WE LOVE OUR WALKS WITH NED
And Ned has lots of great places to walk near his home. This time, we headed down to the Potomac River, crossing beneath a bridge along the way.
TURTLE ABUNDANCE
The turtles were out in full force this morning.
THE WRONG ADDRESS ON THE RIGHT DAY
Here’s the house Frankie and Jessica arrived at on their first try at finding Ned’s house. They thought it looked like the kind of place the Adams Family might live in. It wasn’t nearly so scary on this bright and pretty day as it must have been the night before. It was a perfect day for a walk!
