old friends and new friends

Mason!

Pennie, Mason and Maria

Now that the medical portion of our trip is taken care of, for now, we have begun the socializing portion of our visit. Several of my good friends from work came over for dinner the other night. The evening went by so fast! It almost makes me glad we'll be here for a month in October, so I can take more time to see people!   It was really awesome for me that Paul got to meet people that I have talked about for a long time, and I got to spend time with some friends and their families.

    Yesterday I was lucky enough to get my hair cut by my favorite hairdresser in Ann Arbor.  It was nice to have it cut by someone I know and trust.  In the afternoon, it was Dozer's turn for the doctor.  We took him to a local vet to get his shots and make sure he is healthy.

 

      Last night was  the time for new friends.  Paul and I are members of a group called " Escapees".  They are, in general, people who live in an RV and travel full time.  Last night we met two couples, fellow escapees, for dinner in Brighton MI.  Karla and Eric are from Michigan as well, and have been here most of the summer.  Mary and Paul were living in CA when they decided to go on the road full time  last year.  We all "went full time" within months of each other, so we had a lot in common.  We had a great dinner and an awesome time with these two couples, comparing stories, and future plans. Hopefully we'll meet up with them again soon, maybe for the holidays in Arizona.
