On May 21 we headed north for a couple days of visiting with the grandkids, Mal and Jake, as well as their ma and pa, Deb & Mike.

We got to see the legendary Cooper Compound, pictured above, the scene of endless parties and gatherings hosted by Barbara and Lance. The answer to the question "Hey Deb, where are you going for 4th of July (substitute and major or non-major holiday)?" is invariably "The Coopers". Well now I understand why. They have a great place and seem like great people! That's Barbara between Deb and Lorri.

Later we went to pick up Michelle and Mal Mal up at school. I was hanging out the window taking photos, much to the embarrassment of both of them, especially Mal. They got over it, but I wasn't invited back to pick them up the next day.

Among the exciting activities was watching Deb touch up Lorri's roots. Hilarious!

One of our main reasons for traveling to Baltimore was to see Jakes artwork in his school art show. Jake had some excellent works in pressed metal and paper mache.

The whole family...
