Reed drove Randy to LAX in the wee hours of the morning on Monday, Oct 8. Randy went off to Washington D.C. for work. On Tuesday night, Bryn's friend Jean drove her to the flyaway bus to LAX for a red-eye flight, and on Wednesday morning she saw this spectacular sunrise over Washington D.C. Although in the same place, Bryn and Randy couldn't see each other but settled for talking on the phone during her layover before she continued on to Albany NY. Maureen picked her up, we walked through the Schenectady Stockade area (17th century homes), peeked inside the Historical Society, and also hit the AAA for some local maps. It's still unseasonably warm, with gardens in bloom and monarch butterflies in flight, and the trees are changing but have not yet peaked. Bryn picked up the van and went to Catherine's for the night. The rain came on Thursday. Catherine and Bryn visited Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Leo, then took Elizabeth to lunch, where we met Chris and Roz. We were at the Tailored Tea in Latham. This house, built around 1806, is now on the National Register of Historic Places. In our family, it was where my grandfather's cousins once lived and my mother once played.
Later in the day we picked up this hitch-hiker and took him to dinner, followed by another trip to Albany airport, this time to pick up Randy. So 3 Potters are now in NY, and one is home going to school. It is Union College Homecoming and Parent Weekend!
