Fun With Thomas (and Eddie, Andrea, and Jonathan)

I recently had the privilege of spending some quality time with the Columbus McClellands following the birth of their new son, Jonathan.

Thomas is very excited about his new "beebee" brother and is very gentle with him, pointing out all of his body parts (watch out, eyes).


Thomas and I had a chance to take plenty of walks and spent lots of time at the nearby playground.


Thomas is a busy boy!




A highlight of the visit, other than spending time with the fam, was a visit to Inniswood Gardens, a lovely spot in the Columbus area.

A Summer's Day in Solomons

OK, it wasn't really summer (still April) but it felt like summer, minus the crowds.


My husband had a gig at Pax River, so I came along for the ride. As usual, we stayed at the Holiday Inn Select and ate dinner at the CD cafe.


As usual, I spent the next morning walking around Solomon's Island, looking at the lovely homes. This is my favorite:


Then, as usual, I sat and watched the boats for awhile before exploring the rest of the island. Here are some other scenes from the trip.








Yes, I am sooo boring!
