We went to Winston-Salem to attend a lovely wedding in Old Salem. A boyhood friend of mine got married to a wonderful lady whom I’ve met before. Neil is my oldest friend and the only old friend I’ve kept in contact with over a long term. His parents are brits, my parents are brits. My mom saved his mom emotionally when they moved to America (she’d already been through the culture shock) and they became great friends. Neil and I were of similar age and became friends, our sisters were of similar age and were friends. Our mums would trade kids off when they wanted peace and quiet. Our fathers both came to the U.S. because of the tobacco industry and were friends. Truly an amazing and wonderful family connection there.
A really nice weekend.
My favorite number: 108 pictures
(a near coincidence. when I pulled out the Winston photos I had 109. Deleted one. Many are repeats of things I just couldn’t nail down a good photo for and I probably would have deleted them otherwise.)
Hotel was lovely and weird, we went to the wedding in old salem, got lost in a graveyard with a black stop sign, went to a brewery with my old friend Chris Spinelli and his wife and had a few pints, found a wonderful pub the next morning before heading for home. Fun!
