sabbatical 2019 - family

---

One of the sabbatical areas of focus is our relationship with family members. Becky and I just returned from 2 days with my parents (age 94 and 88) , my 2 sisters, Jeremy and his wife and 2 daughters (our grandchildren!) at my parents home (since 1960), in Chevy Chase Maryland. We all have many wonderful memories of this place. And they are extra meaningful because of the close relationships we all have with one another. Celebrate and rejoice when family can be together, especially in today's world when people have to travel afar to be together. In our case, from NY, and 2 different places in NC to Maryland. Alas Ben and Rachael, from RI, could not be with us.

2 grandaughters - Rose and Dylan with their great grandparents and their 1 cousin - Drayden
