Today we parted company with Robin, Anna, and Nathan who are now back in their Londonderry home after an afternoon flight. Carol and I could not enter our new digs for a few hours so the first thing we did was go to a MacDonald's for a cold coffee. There we saw an older and a younger couple very nicely dressed, the men wearing ties. We figured they had to be Witnesses on a break. They soon left but the younger brother hung back to flip through a newspaper. I went up to him and said, "May I ask you a question?" He looked at me with surprise. I smiled and said, "Are you going to be doing return visits now?" He caught on right away. We shook hands and introduced ourselves before he had to run to join the others.
Then we killed a few hours in a mall where Carol poked around for bargains (and found some) and I discovered the joys of finding, in the concourse, a sofa complete with footstool to sit on while I waited, catching up on the 2012 yearbook on my iPad. When I felt like reviewing a scripture that came to mind I simply switched to the NWT and did that. Then I played some skittle bowling. iPads - Wheeee!
When we arrived at our new accommodations a note was on the garage door. See below ...
We're the Sheppards all right, but the party will have to be another day. That's about all that happened today. After the cruise and the two weeks with Robin and Anna we now enter the final phase of our get-away. The weather could not be better.
