Getting familiar

Hello Everyone

The compulsion to blog has dissipated a bit now that we have landed for a few days on the DelMarVa peninsula.  We don't feel quite as alone as we did when we were wandering the byways of this huge country.   Both of JD's sisters have places here at the beach.  Susan has a condo in Ocean City that has a fantastic view of the ocean where dolphins can often be seen frolicking in the waves.  Debra has a sweet little cottage on the bay side, in So. Bethany Beach,  where you can watch the waters lapping at the shore. It feels wonderful to not have pedal to the metal for a few days and get to relax in real housing instead of the endless motels. We get to do this for a stretch of days now.  We are here until Sunday and then we are going up the east coast to stay with my old friend Ronni and her husband John,  at their summer home in Gloucester, Mass, also for a few days.  

I love how where we are now is called the DelMarVa Peninsula. This stretch of the coast is comprised of the three states:  Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.  As you go up and down through the various towns, you go through the state lines. As a matter of fact, although only living a few miles apart, the sisters are in two different states.

We are partaking of the local fare, here. Crab cakes. corn, spiced shrimp. All good things. We will be visiting the tacky and colorful boardwalks of Ocean City and perhaps Rehobeth Beach. My brother and his wife have joined us so we are having a mini-reunion of all the siblings. We have never done this before and it is great fun.  We are now the older generation, we have to stick together.
