Martin Luther King, Jr. Day found Lauren and I back in Lancaster to retrieve Fred (ok, Diamond), her beloved feline friend whom we had left behind as we gallivanted through Washington DC., Virginia, and then eventually New Orleans.

I say had, because they have recently torn down the “little river house”, to build a bigger river house. River House 2.0! Now that the kids are all grown and out of the house, they intend to sell the big house in Lancaster and settle in at the river full time.

We stopped in to peak at the progress, on the new house, and I’m happy to report that it’s coming along fine.

Cheers!
