SUMERDUCK, VA.  Visited my cousin, Jeffrey Parker, and his father, my Uncle L. W. Parker.  Jeff is the Circuit Judge for Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties.

Jeff's driveway is lined with Bradford Pear trees, planted by him and his father.  It is an attractive driveway, but treacherous for a type A motorhome to enter.  Jeff had to saw off some limbs to allow the motorhome to pass unscathed.  We eventually got it set up for the night in front of his garage.

Home for the Night

That night, Halloween evening, we visited with the family of one of Jeff's sons.  Sorry, no photos of that, but prior to that Jeff took us on a quicky tour of where he works, where we got a couple photos.  One photo was of the plane my uncle flew during World War II, along with images of my uncle and aunt in their wartime uniforms.

The following morning we visited with my uncle in the rest home where he lives.  The rest home is run by Mennonites, a very neat and clean place for him to live.

After that Jeff had to leave to catch a plane to Michigan where his wife had already gone to attend her sister's funeral.  Jeff dropped us off at his house, where we got to work turning the motorhome around to head back out the driveway.  Interesting task.  We managed to squeeze on out very slowly.
