"Tailgating" Before Lady Antebellum Concert

Tonight, Anna and I are going to the first of two Country & Western summer concerts.  It was my turn to plan the pre-concert picnic menu.  And I did!

Another Visit from Prem and Chris

Anna's nephew and fiancée are seriously contemplating relocation to North Carolina.  They flew down to Durham from Boston today to visit us.  It was sunny and 80°F for their adventure.They are considering the Triangle area and Winston-Salem as possible locations.

Trip to Nags Head, NC

We visited our beach house the first time since October; needed to see the damage from a misbehaving water heater.  We have decided to replace flooring, wall covering and kitchen cabinetry.  We stayed at a local hotel, ate breakfast out, had dinner of Dungeness crabs, and enjoyed the fabulous weather and views of the empty beach.

60th Birthday

Anna's brother Les visited North Carolina so we could all celebrate his milestone birthday.  Oma and Opa treated us: dinner at the Fearrington House Restaurant. The food and service were world class!
And Les and wife Siegi posed for posterity.

Sunday Morning Skeet Shooting

Anna and Myron had their 2nd skeet shooting coaching session.  Some clays were shattered.  For the first time "doubles" were attempted.

Henri Rosano's 90th Birthday

Myron flew up to New Jersey for the day to attend his Ph.D. mentor's 90th birthday party.  Myron and Henri have been friends for more than 50 years.  The professor is still hale and hardy!  Henri's wife Chantal and the three Rosano daughters were there, as well as some of Henri's other former Ph.D. students.

Annual Dixie Deer Classic

We went to the show for deer hunters because the fellow who makes custom-molded ear plugs was an exhibitor.  Quite a scene!  We never saw so much camo. Ever.  The pix include

the cool boots Anna liked; and the one of Anna bravely petting a snake.  However we deliberately left out the millions of hunting bow (and billions of bird call) exhibitors.
