This morning, following an early breakfast with Janet and Ken, Heidi and Lee hopped into the Honda and sped off, enroute to Easthampton, Massachusetts, and the home of good friend, Diane Hobbs.
We made such good time that we were able to work in a forty-five minute return visit with Heidi's Aunt Free in Exeter in the early afternoon. It was good to share some of our family history discoveries with her. She was also able to confirm or correct some of our finds -- turns out, for example, that the house in Port Maitland belonged to Abby's grandparents, not Heidi's.
Having arrived in Easthampton in the late afternoon, we walked around the Kendall retirement community in which Diane has taken up residence before settling down to a DELICIOUS salmon dinner. Good conversation throughout proved an added bonus.
Because we spent most of the day driving (often through great stretches of Fall color, especially in the area above Bangor in Maine where the seasonal tints are at their peak) Lee didn't take any photographs today. We promise some will be incorporated in tomorrow's entry ...
