My brother Brent and his wife are here! I’m so excited! Sandra’s brother is retiring from military service, and there is a special ceremony for him, so Brent and Sandra came to attend and to do some visiting and sightseeing along the way. They arrived in Baltimore last night while I was still at work, so they stopped by at my workplace to say hi. That’s when I found out that my niece Anna came along! Woo hoo! I’m really excited about that! I am looking forward to some good hang-out time with everyone.
Today we go to DC for some sights. It should be a lot of fun.
In my excitement, I forgot to take any pictures of them. Instead, here is a picture of my murphy bed. I slept in it last night. I’m so glad to be able to use it!
The Gus is for scale.
Hooray for company! Have fun in D.C., Sewardites! Sewardians?
I love that bed. I am filled with jealously every time you mention it, and the only thing that is saving you right now is that adorable cat.
I too continue to be impressed with your murphy bed! And it looks even better on the carpet! How great to just be able to pull a bed out of the wall!
And Lauren ….I’m sure you could whip up a murphy bed … with all kinds of bells & whistles!
Have FUN!!!! Hugs To ALL!!! <3 Aunt Bev (^_^)
Weather today should be good for seeing sites/sights/?? Enjoy!
[Gee…was this a Coast Guard retirement by any chance, ‘cuz we attended one of those a few Mondays ago in the Alexandria, VA area. Until then, I’d never heard of special retirement ceremonies for military personnel – I figured “Here’s your pension; thanks!” was all they got. This one had much pomp and circumstance, which seemed fitting for 30 years of service to one’s country, followed by a reception in what reminded me of the officer’s club on McHale’s Navy. Hope all went well – and so glad you get to see Brent and family again so soon!]
