The day after Christmas I went into Annapolis to have lunch with my friend Jadene. I worked for her parents at the florist there for a number of years and when I go back home we get together at Fridays for lunch.

Mom and Daddy picked me up and took me over to my uncles while Doug hung out with his Dad for the day.

This is the house my daddy grew up in along with his sister, Cissie and brother, George. I have always loved this house with its stone masonry and multi-levels. The upstairs also has a half floor up where the attic is. My cousins and I used to play in there when we were little. The basement wasn't a favorite place of mine...a little damp feeling as most basements are and a little scary too because it's darker than the rest of the house.

At one time it was owned by the family who owned Pepsi in Annapolis but that was many moons ago.
