Woke up early and took Chirs and Jean on a walk to begins hole, down the street. Begins hole was one of our kids favorite places to swim in the river. and our dogs went there many times a week. Many happy memories 🙂
Loved the shimmering sun in the water !
We went home and Chris and Jean headed off to the Adorondacs. It had been really good to see them !

Tonight we had visitors. My old freind Chris and his wife Jean are visiting the US frm the UK. Chris is a former IBM fellow like me.. and has been one of my friends and mentors for many year.s It was really wonderful catching up with Chris and getting to know Jean. We got to see some wonderful pictures of the farm(?) where they live in Dorset.. such beautiful country . hris and I had fun exchanging IBM stories and traded what we knew about he whereabouts of our many mutual friends.
Jean is a great story teller too. Got to see nice pics of grandkids, horse , dogs, and the lovely Dorset countryside.
Also learned a new. word from them “quango” which is
“a semipublic administrative body outside the civil service but receiving financial support from the government, which makes senior appointments to it.“
It was really interesting to hear Chris and Jeans path in Retirement.. Gave me lots to think about !
love seeing old friends !
