Don't Tell...We Were in Suffolk!

(Suffolk, VA 03/26-28/2010) With apologies to those we didn't get to see, we made a short stop-over in Suffolk on our way to No VA. I had some work in Fairfax VA 30-31 March so we parked at Davis Lakes RV Campground in Suffolk for 2 nights on our way north. We had 3 "so long, but not good bye" meals with friends over the short stay. The first was with our friends Tim and Julie Corcoran. They were heading to Richmond Friday afternoon so we were able to just catch them for lunch before they left. Tim and Julie were part of a group of 4 couples who we became very close to that started with a Sunday School social idea of groups of 4 couples having dinner at each others home over the course of 4 months (the length of a Sunday School quarter). We enjoyed it so much we kept doing it for over 2 years! We carried each others burdens through the ups and downs of family and life trials. We were remarking over lunch with Tim and Julie just how much we had grown in our relationship with Christ, and the healing we have seen in relationships, and just how much an impact we made on each others lives. We snapped this picture as we hugged our goodbyes, near the mascot for one of our favorite restaurants (guess where).
Later that evening we enjoyed dinner with our old covenant group. A small group from our church which had been a big part of our lives. (sorry we didn't get a picture!)
