The Latest Updates

We would like to welcome Elizabeth Rose Mintz to the family. She was born Oct. 29 after much coaxing from her parents and doctor. She and her momma have had a few complications so they have been in the hospital and hope to go home today. Congratulations Sarah and Adrian! We look forward to meeting our newest granddaughter!

We spent 2 weeks in Hershey PA relaxing since we have been there several times. We did go out for a PA Dutch lunch one day and did some buying at the cannery. Of course, we stocked up on Hershey chocolate too! The leaves were just beginning to change, but it sure was cold!

We are now in Gloucester VA for our final week. We have had a couple of warm days, but mostly cold with a good breeze to make it feel even colder. We are still looking for the warm weather. The leaves here have mostly just turned brown and been blown off in the winds. Not a good color year where we have been.

We have also visited here several times, but wanted to revisit the Historic Triangle. Yorktown was first and has not changed much. They do have a free shuttle that takes you around the town and gives you some history along the way. We visited the Moore House where Cornwallis surrendered marking the end of the Revolutionary War.



We saw the most changes at Jamestown with a beautiful new visitor center and museum of artifacts. The archaeological digs they have are always different and this time they had 2 in the fort area they were getting ready to cover for the winter. The archaeologists were taking pictures and we were able to talk to one about what they had found - quite interesting! It is a beautiful place along the river and we enjoyed walking the grounds.




We always love to just walk around Colonial Williamsburg. It was a warm beautiful day with very few people.
