Big Weekend Part I

jacob had a big, big weekend! Saturday, we met Jacob's Grandmom W. Great Aunt Barbara and Great Aunt Patty--who were in town visiting big sister Bev--at a cute little restaurant in sleepy Stevensville -- first exit off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on Kent Island. It's about an hour's drive for us and an hour and a half for Gmom and Gpop W. Poor Grandpop W. was home sick with that nasty 24 to 72-hour stomach flu, which circluated around here at Christmas but is just making its way through the Eastern Shore now -- where we hope it will stay!

There was a lot to see in tiny Stevensville...
an old B&O caboose...



Jacob taking a shining to Great Aunt Patty and giving her lessons in blankie holding..."now can you give me lessons on how to ride a Harley?" ...

Gussie, an honored guest...


and the free-range hens and roosters.

It was great to see Barbara again -- twice in less than six months is quite rare, since she lives on the West Coast. Jacob could get used to hanging out in dining establishments with his great aunt from California!
