The Maryland Family Visits

The Baltimore Gang

As luck and filial devotion would have it, William invited me to go along with him to visit his Dad in Maryland. Love taking road trips with William, he's great company. Our first stop was in New Jersey to get gas and I was blown away by the insane gas station! It was more like a Bev Mo' with every kind of alcohol you can imagine.

Yikes! I have never seen the like before and I've been to freakn' Las Vegas which is more the sort of place I'd expect to find more booze than gasoline or potato chips.







We bustled on south to Baltimore, where we popped in on Kirk, Nicole and their kids. My grand-niece & nephew are really into the theater arts these days. Sydney was off watching a friend of hers in a high school production - I can't believe she is in high school. And James-Allen and his dad were off buy a half ton of food for the Baltimore branch of the Leyba-Millers. My niece Bea, her hubby Avon and daughter Ain came on over too and we feasted everyone's favorite chow from local restaurant establishments.

They moved into their town house about a year ago. The last time I visited them their stuff was actually being packed for their move. Love their new place - OK, am not fond of the stairs, which are necessary in a 3 story house, but that's OK. I work out at the gym with Kirk & Nicole's stair cases inspiring said exercising.

Soon it was quite late and we had to leave for the final leg of our drive. We arrived at the home of my sister-in-law Gloria and her sister. They were quite sweet to let William and I invade their beautiful home. It was my first visit there, and I enjoyed meeting their little Yorkie Terrier dogs. By the time everyone turned in for the night I was totally knackered & ready to sleep.
