Once again out to Portsmouth. We went this morning to the old Harbour View office where Beth used to work. It’s still there, and look about the same. Sandy still works there so Beth spent a good bit of time catching up with her while I tried to entertain the kids and keep them out of trouble (they made a mess anyway). It was almost lunchtime when we left, but we happened to be right near Bennett’s Creek Farm Market, another one of our favorite places, and another place that has not changed one bit. They still have the corn & onion salad, they still have the deli sandwich counter. So, that’s what we did for lunch. We even found a jar of bone suckin’ sauce to bring home. Then we took the road up through Smithfield and to Surry to get the ferry over to Jamestown. Boy, a lot of things came back to me on that trip. Like the old ruined church building with trees growing inside it. I’ve tried to remember for a few years where that was, and I had thought maybe Arkansas. The kids both really liked taking the van onto a boat with us when we went over to Jamestown. We just went to the glass house, not the fort, no time. Beth wanted to get some glass (which she did) but we had to get back because Laura and Brian were coming over. This time we went back through the HRBT. The Caspers are doing well, Brian is now an O-4 and is going to be something like DCA on the USS Harry S. Truman (my old ship). We grilled steaks using the convenient grills provided with the rental. I had never ever grilled with charcoal before, and I must say the steaks came out perfect. I’m going to have to look into this charcoal thing. We had a really good visit with the Caspers, and the kids played well together. Afterwards we all took our kids out to the DQ on the beach and made plans to get together again before we left.
