More Easter Break

We arrived home from NYC at 4:30AM. We caught a few hours sleep. Then up again to drive to Baltimore, actually PA for the funeral of Carol's Grandmother. After the service on Friday we drove to Baltimore and spent a couple of days with Bobbie and Bill, Carol's sister and brother-in-law.

My new family is learning the Cook philosophy of "There is always more to do." So on Saturday we went to DC and toured the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did. It was really memory lane for me. In my previous life, I spend a week at the Air and Space Museum in a special Associates Program. Lots of lectures, lunches and dinners with special folks like Paul Garber, Director Emeritus, and many behind the scenes activities. The typical day started at 8am and ended at 11:30 or midnight. Sorry, no pictures from that ancient past.

THIS time we did take a few pictures.

It was too pretty a day to stay indoors - at least that's what the other three people in our group thought. I could have roamed about the Air and Space all day.



Some great time spent with Bobbie and Bill. Then it was back to the "routine" of Salem, VA.

We're having more fun than anyone deserves. But I saw this great quote the other day which explains it.

JUSTICE is when you get what you deserve.

MERCY is when you don't get what you deserve.

GRACE is when you get what you don't deserve.
