1st Days of Our New Life

---

Dale and Dolly arrived earlier than we had originally thought they would. Dale called as he was coming off the I-97 onto the 50 and I ran from my room all the way to the sidewalk getting there just as he turned onto the road from the freeway. It was so great to see familiar faces after being gone for a while.

We have now moved to a campground south of Annapolis but it is really nice, lots of tall trees between sites. Of course it is ½ empty since summer is over so we have no neighbors. And the price is right, about ½ of the price of other campgrounds or the motel so we can’t complain. It is a little out of the way but we figure we can drive a little extra and have the trees and space.

It is amazing in a way, this is the first day of our new life; Dale won’t go into work anymore but we will travel together and I will work when possible.

We had planned to celebrate with a nice dinner and champagne but Dale was exhausted after the drive here and I’ve been under the gun to get claims closed. I think that we will go to dinner tomorrow, an early dinner after claims on the other side of the Bay Bridge.

Any Maryland readers here with suggestions for good restaurants? I also need some D.C. recommendations! Help me out here!!!!
