South New Jersey


(Lynda) It was great seeing family again.  David's sister, Jackie, lives here and also his nieces, Jill and Jackie. It was a special treat seeing Dodi, who lives in DC and who we hadn't seen for several years.  She was with daughter Tiffany, and fiance, Larry.  They're getting married in the Fall and we wish them every happiness.  We spent four days here with lots of good food, drink and hospitality as well as much reminiscing.  Michael took us to the Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, just a few miles from their house.  It was a treat seeing all the different birds in such a pristine setting.   In the distance we could see the high rise buildings and casinos as well as the wind turbines of Atlantic City.  Jill and Michael, whose driveway we take over, are the best hosts!

(David) My Sister Jackie lives in a town called Port Republic.  It is a small historic comunity that is just lovely.  She has restored a 200 year old house and made it into a beautiful home surrounded by a wonderful garden.  Behind her house she has many bird feeders and gets a multitude of different birds including wild turkeys.  Much credit must be given her for doing all this almost single handed.
