Guests,

Sunday, October 21, 2018

We have guests for breakfast this morning.  Gathered around the morning campfire are Lori, Neil, and Dakota.  Unfortunately, I lost the pictures.  But, we had French toast, bacon, sausage, OJ and coffee.   What a great morning.  It was so good to spend some time with them.

Afterward, Neil took us to Blandford Church.  It was great walking around with someone so knowledgeable about local history.  We then took the official tour inside the church.  It is famous for it'ss Tiffany windows.  It was a enjoyable tour, especially when Neil told everyone about the poem on the wall was written by his ancestor instead of Tyrone Power.  The docent was really impressed.
