We arrived at Marilyn Moffo’s place around 7:30. Sandy is HOME! Wolcott is where Sandy grew up and Marilyn is a high school best friend who is living in her childhood home. She had sausage and peppers waiting for us, with great Italian bread, home roasted red peppers, pepperoni slices and cheese. You haven’t lived until you’ve had Marilyn’s sausage and peppers. Oh my goodness!Oh, and did I mention wine? It wouldn’t be good food and good conversation without the wine! LOL! We sat around visiting for several hours before calling it a night. The next morning we joined her at her church before heading off to have lunch with Sandy’s cousins (a different blog). Marilyn attends church in Southington - it is a parrish that was established in 1724, and the current building was built in 1830. It is typical New England!
And then we took another trip down Memory Lane (this one in Connecticut): Going by the house Sandy’s Dad built and her grandparent’s home. But they just didn't look the same. The current owners of Gramma and Granpa Myers' were outside, so we chatted with them for a little bit. They've added an addition to the house, so it really looks different. And there were NO flowers or strawberries anywhere in sight. The whole neighborhood seemed so different - but it has been nearly 40 years since the Burke's lived there!
After another evening of visiting with Marilyn, we hit the sack early – we’re getting up at 4:30 a.m. for a long day’s drive down to South Carolina. Marilyn will come with us – we’ll be meeting other high school friends in the Myrtle Beach area: Susan Snow Beadle (who will drive in from Iowa with her husband) and Colleen Malloy Wells and Danny Franek who are now engaged.
