Today we enjoyed a great visit with long time friends, Carl and Margaret Reed. We all met and became friends in the post high youth group at First Presbyterian Church in Royal Oak. The group had a tendency to grow and shrink and we were all part of the quick shrinking in 1963 as several couples within the group got married including us. Both Carl and Margaret were in our wedding party. They moved to Pennsylvania close to 40 years ago so we've not seen other alot over the years. BUT now, they are just about an hour from our son's home so when we set up housekeeping in his driveway we're able to spend time together again. It is like the years apart never existed. :-)
Today we met them at a lovely old restaurant, Tavern on the Square, built back in the 1800s in New Wilmington, PA. It is Carl's old stomping grounds as he grew up here attending school with many of the Amish who live in the area. Our delicious lunch lasted several hours as we caught up with each other and had lots of laughs together.
Ken and I then enjoyed checking out some of the quaint shops in nearby Volant, a town only 1/8 of a mile long all of which is filled with the little specialty shops. Amish buggies traveled up and down the road adding to the flavor of the area.
