After Maryland, Beth, Marcia and I said goodbye to my parents as they made their way back down to Virginia and then back to Mexico. We continued north on our way back to New York City. Along the way we stopped to visit our Aunt Carol and her family, The Doughertys, in Stockton NJ. Carol has three girls and they are all so cute and sweet. Since it was labor day weekend, we stayed at my grandparents house (other side of the family) in Frenchtown, the house is up for sale, so this was probably our last time at this house, it’s a grand ole’ thing, part turn three-hundred year old farm house, part mid-century modernist masterpiece, set up on the hills on a hundred acres above the Delaware River. My Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Tim came down from Brooklyn for the weekend as did Paula and David Siminski, with their kids Sonny and Saddie Pearl. it was a regular kid fest and it was wonderful hanging with them by the pool for two days.
