HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BROOKE

The Birthday Girl

We shall party hearty in one week!

 

Happy memories of one year ago when we were together, celebrating with Brooke and anxiously awaiting arrival of baby girl....more on the little miss coming tomorrow!

 

Nice day in Chestertown - exercised, tidied up Catrina and Mark rode his bike to get a haircut.    It was a 5-generation barber shop with the youngest out of barber school 6 years ago.    3 generations still work there and Mark had the 72-year old Grandpa.

 

I shopped Cross and High Streets - love this town with its brick sidewalks, old homes and some very nice gift shops (Gabriel's and Cornucopia, especially).    Mark met me at The Lemon Leaf Café - oh my.......he had a crab cake salad and said it was the best ever!   (Even better than Davis' Pub in Annapolis)!    WOW!    My chicken salad (150-year old family recipe) was absolutely scrumptious!  

 

Mark washed Catrina in the afternoon - warming up today, but evenings are so pleasant.     This evening we went for a bike ride (on the trail and other parts of town) past Washington College which is lovely with all the red brick buildings and sprawling lawns.

Luke loves playing with the bean bags and dropping them in the hole
