This weekend we went to Ft. Lauderdale to see some of Ed's family. We stayed with his sister and brother-in-law, Lorraine and Ray Barkett.

We also spent some time with Ed's son, grandson, and daughter-in-law. I had fun reading with Sean and am pleased at his progress as a second grader.
I don't think of "Lorraine" as a common name. What are the chances his sister and daughter-in-law are both named Lorraine?

I enjoyed helping Ray with Facebook and Lorraine with how to copy and paste.
When we would go to Ft. Lauderdale after being in Virginia, shopping was a main focus. Now we live in Port St. Lucie 7 months of the year, where we have almost all the stores you can think of, so shopping isn't a strong reason to travel South.
Being with family IS a good reason to make the 2 hour journey. It was a fun and relaxing weekend. Thank you, Lorraine and Ray!
p.s. One of the highlights of the weekend was getting the painting that I had commissioned my art teacher friend, Anita Orlando, to paint. I will show it to you as soon as we get it from the framer.
It does seem funny that there are two Lorraines in the immediate family. Aren't there also two Kays, or am I mixed up?
ReplyDeleteIt didn't register until now that Sean is about the same age as my nephew, who will be 8 in March and is also in the second grade. Sean really is handsome! In the group photo, he appears tall for his age. I'm so glad he enjoys reading, since too many kids are sucked in by electronics now. One should keep up with technology, but reading more than "info bites" is important (IMNSHO).
You have me very curious about the painting. Tell the framer to hurry!
Hi Grandmother Mary! Thanks for the great blog post. We had fun.
