As mentioned last time, Ms Playchute and I\u00a0are in the States and this morning\u00a0find ourselves in the glorious splendour of Lake George visiting with brother Sandy and his wife Pam. We&#8217;ve spent a few days in Hanover visiting with my folks and will be returning there tomorrow morning for a few more days &#8211; just long enough to out stay our welcome, I guess. We fly back home from Boston on Wednesday evening.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Part of the purpose for visiting about this time each year is to join in the celebration of my folks&#8217; wedding anniversary. They were married 67 years ago and are still speaking to one another! We had a lovely meal in one of the rooms at Kendal which was splendid &#8211; the food was excellent and the company was thoroughly\u00a0enjoyable. My two brothers, Sandy and Steph, were present along with their better halves so it was just the male half of the Stragnell children although sister Sallie sent along a very beautiful bouquet and everyone sent their respective best wishes. A lovely time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"525\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.stragnell.com\\\/befoulednews\\\/2015\\\/04\\\/19\\\/19-april-2015\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:140640811}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 525px;
