We went up to visit my friend Ruth on the July 4. It was wonderful. The 4th is when her family has their traditional big gathering, so a lot of them were there and they are all very nice and lively people. The kids had a lot of fun running around; we took part in the annual rubber duck race (did not win) and stayed for dinner and fire works. On Saturday we drove to Maya and Guy’s. They were having a BBQ for friends. I think close to 20 kids were there, a fun occasion. We slept over and came home today. Another couple with their two kids also spent the nigh. Between Ruth’s and Maya’s Chandran did some book shopping. One of the books stores we visited is the Bibliog. Barn, a lovely old books store. It is currently for sale. The Sale would include the bookstore, the adjacent house and 5 acres. We did not ask the price. We are off on

Wednesday for our California trip, see you all there.
