What a fantastic weekend we just had. We were visited by not one, not two, but three groups of relatives, all of whom had to brave the sign-less, road-less, bridge-less, bathroom-less drive through the Adirondacks, where the average towns are 20 miles apart, feature 2 gas stations, 3 traffic lights, and seem to exist at the ever-important meeting of two main roads. Here is the weekend overview:
My brother Jim, his wife Cath, and his children Justin (six) and Chelsea (free) came up to visit, along with my parents, who will be referred to Grampy (over 50) and Grammy (29). They all stayed in "The Barn." Only in the North Country could a part of a motel be called "The Barn." They arrived Friday, with my brother's family leaving Sunday and my parents leaving Monday.
Uncle Brian (immortal) and Aunt Sue (immortal by marriage) also came up for two days. What a terrific time we all had. Whether it was relaxing together at "The Barn" or having dinner atthe house of Sean (28) and Andrea (version 3.1 - will be 4.0 around April the doctor thinks), it was just a great time...the stuff that wonderful memories are made of. Expect more photos from this weekend in posts through the coming week.In closing, and on the eve of the school year, I'd just like to thank, as profoundly as I can, all of the family and friends who have visited us in words, messages, phone calls, e-mails, prayers, and even in person. It has been a great couple of weeks for Heather, David, and I. You are all a tremendous blessing to us. Our thoughts, love, and prayers go out to each and every one of you, and we hope to see you all sometime soon.

Hey I know that barn... I stayed there once. Smallings is a wonderful little motel. So friendly. It was the only place my parents would stay in Potsdam.
I am glad that your parents were able to visit and your brother too.
You all look very happy! Good luck with school.
Be Well
Thanks Meryl! David says hello, and he hopes to see you soon!
