Thanks to Joe Loverde and Sue Sewell for their expert work in coordinating the Saturday June 29th dance. We had a full house of dancing, music and food and when it was all over they said they want to do it again. I hope we can.

Thanks to Rosemary Limmen and John Sankonis for having us in for the Monumental Life 150th Anniversary Community Fund-Raiser. We danced in the street for 4 hours and everybody enjoyed seeing the 'original' Buddy Deane Dancers perform the 'Madison'...the same dance made popular all over again in 'Hairspray!'. Thanks to sister Joyce Conroy who came up from Virginia to attend the event. Good to see Joyce.

And...thanks to Meg and Marta for their kindness and excellent coordination with the 'Rockin' For The Elderly' production at St. Martin's Home in Catonsville. The event was held to raise money for the Little Sisters of the Poor.

Thanks too to Gene & Marcia Scarpulla for the crab feast at their home (actually a lighthouse replica!) on Millers Island. That's quite a 'crib', no doubt!

Speaking of home....thanks to my brother Walt and his wife Valerie for putting me up during the stay.

...and my thanks to Pastor Loren Edwards and his wife Pam for Sunday afternoon dinner following services with old friends at the church I used to attend regularly, Baltimore First Free Methodist on Keswick Road in Hampden. What loving people, and you sure blessed my heart.

Good times remembering the oldies..and lots of new memories and friends were made as well.

Thanks Baltimore. It sure was nice to 'come home again'.
