Time with Dick’s Sister and family

Tuesday the 19^th we got up and going and off to Maryanne’s arriving there about 10AM.  It was great to see her and her dog Bonnie, a border collie.  We had not seen her since visiting with her at her condo on Sanibel Island in February.  We just chatted for a couple of hours and then drove to see Martha Lambert, Maryanne’s daughter-in-law and Martha’s ten month old grandson Robert Lambert, the son of Daniel and Darcy Lambert.  Robert is Martha’s and her husband Lance’s only grandchild, and Maryanne’s only Great Grandchild and they all enjoy him very much. 

Of course Great Great Uncle Dick and Great Great Aunt Pat loved seeing him for the first time and playing with him too!  .  Robert is named for Maryanne’s husband Bob who passed away two years ago.

Over lunch somehow the subject of Martha’s expecting arrival of a new bari Saxiphone came up and when Pat asked her what she was doing with her old one Martha said she was planning on selling it.  To make a long story short, we bought it for our granddaughter Ellie who has wanted to have one of her own.  It is in a very nice case about the size of a bag of golf clubs and we now have it to carry with us in the back of our van for the next three months until we return to PA and can give it to Ellie!!

Tuesday evening we had a very nice dinner back at Maryanne’s with her son Lance and his wife Martha, and with her daughter Robin and her husband Jack and their daughter Catherine.  We did spend the night at Maryanne’s.

 

Wednesday we spent the day and evening with Maryanne, visited the new first home of Daniel and Darcy and baby Robert, Dan was working but Darcy and Robert were home.

Later we took Maryanne out to dinner and visited Robin and Jack’s new home before saying good bye to Maryanne and driving the hour back to the campground about 11 PM. 

It was really great seeing Maryanne and her family!
