Monday and Tues June 25 and 26, 2007
Today is a travel day to Greenwood. Our friends, Jay and Betty live here. We met them while we all were volunteering for Katrina Hurricane Relief in Goutier, MS. We vowed to spend time together again..and here we are. We spent the afternoon and evening just enjoying one another again. We are all about the same age, all grew up in small towns and seem to have lots in common. Betty fixed us a nice dinner and then we played Mexican Train Dominoes. We have so much fun laughing and just being silly. We had some dessert and then it was bedtime. It was a great evening.

Tuesday
Today Jay and Betty took us to the beach at Rehoboth Beach, DE. On the way we stopped in Lewes at the towns museum. Lewes is the first city in Delaware founded in 1813 and Delware is the first state,1876. This town has a nice museum telling its history. The town was originally founded by the dutch and named Zw… which means Valley of Swans. Later in it was taken over by the British and renamed Lewes. We drove on to Rehoboth Beach and had lunch at Nicola’s. They serve a Stromboli there that is called a Nicaboli. It is a crust kind of like a pizza crust that is rolled around ground beef and about anything else you could think of…sort of like ingredients in a pizza. We got ours with everything. It was quite tasty. Then we headed on down to the beach. We were amazed at how crowded the beach was. There was barely room to walk and of course, we were dressed in street clothes so everyone was really staring at us. Oh well!!! There is a Board Walk along the beach in the downtown area. It is quite nice and a fun place to enjoy “a day at the beach” and many many people were doing just that. We enjoyed burgers on the grill prepared by Gene and lots of other goodies as we enjoyed just spending time together on Jay and Betty’s patio.
