Coming up to the third year here in Arlington Virginia...Mike says it will be the last....we will see. I am headed once again to Oregon May 12....will plan to be there the rest of the summer. I will miss the friends here as we  are becoming attached to them also. I am hoping some of them will come and visit us. This weekend I am going to go to Maine. I have always wanted to see that state and the opportunity presented itself so off I go. Ben and Mindy and Finley were here last weekend. We had a fast fun three days. Finley is so fun to be with, he is a character. I love being his Granny B!

Well it is a hot day here in Arlington Virginia. 99* at noon with high humidity. I do not even really want to go down to the pool. Hard for me to breath in this heat! I only have about 11 more days before I head to Oregon. I will spend the rest of the summer there. Then back here in September. We are looking forward to our friends Mike and Char coming for the 4th of July holiday. They will get here either Sunday or Monday. Then we will hope it cools a little so being outside will be a little more bearable. We may just be scooting from museum to museum! Mike likes the work he is doing here, he gets in on some exciting conversations. He at times has to do presentations at briefings. Mike will be coming to OR. for a few weeks also we plan to be at our home convention there.

Manassas battlefield

We think this might be poison Ivy. Mike got some on him the third week we were here it is pretty much like poison oak!

Bull Run Creek. This bridge was a key point in Manassas battles.
