Bailey goes home

Unfortunately, all good things do indeed end, and today the Stevenses headed south for their return trip to Alpharetta, Georgia, which they now call home (even though we can't accept that!). Anyway, we had a terrific week.
They arrived the evening of July 8th and our sign awaited them at the doorstep:

We went to Peter and Carol Wilson's Saturday for hors d'oeuvres before having dinner at Acapulco's in Framingham. Stan and I went to the Tara afterwards to meet up with Tim and Leah Sweeney and Kyle Barnette, their son-in-law. We brought the three of them to our home in Ashland to hang out for a while. Kara remained at the Tara (had to write that) with their daughter Nia. Nancy and Bill showed up after spending more time at the Wilson's. We all kind of slept in the next day (!)

We got to have Bailey as our special guest when the Stevenses drove up to Maine to visit Joyce. In fact, we got to be very close with her as she spent most of the week with us! She was really good about going out to get the newspaper each morning. Saturday morning she wasn't satisfied with ours alone and in fact retrieved the Machado's paper TWICE. I finally had to put her inside before I returned it to the end of their drive. Wonder if they noticed the canine tooth marks on their Globe?

Nancy and I visited Pam's new home in Westborough on Sunday. We surprised her as she didn't yet know that Nancy was here. Pam's house is so nice -- it's really perfect for her and although an antique (1896, I think... but it's a number) it's in really great shape because of all of the updates. It's a perfect size for Pam, too, and in a nice neighborhood. Yardwork is in HER future but she promises to enjoy every minute of it! The three of us had a picnic in the back yard.


Thursday night, we all went over to the Wilson's house again for a pool party and cookout

Grant and Jared Renzullo arrived in time for dinner after they'd been to Gold's Gym to workout.

Maribeth Hedgepeth showed up, too:

We had a nice time, Peter and Carol are phenomenal hosts (pictured below with Nancy and Bill)
