August 2020
Places visited
I visited Derek several times, even for a few overnight stays, unfortunately because of him needing to be in and out of the hospital. At least I could see and talk with him a little bit as he continues to heal.
Brian and Noah came for a weekend. We went to the West Point Museum in Highland Falls, played games, read books, talked, and waved to my mother through her window at the nursing home. It was a wonderful weekend!
I got to visit Brian, Bea, Noah and Bea's mother. I got the read with Noah, we had a great lunch, and then took a walk in Rancocas State Park in Burlington County, New Jersey. The weather was perfect for the walk. It was a marvelous day!
Rachel, Jon, Taran and I met at Bailiwick animal Park and Riding Stables in Catskill, New York. We visited the Zoo which included a playground and riding toys. We then went to the Rip Van Winkle Brewing Company Restaurant and Brewery for a delicious lunch. We had a great time at both places and it was marvelous to see them!
