Greetings from the Mason-Dixon Line

We got to see lots of family on Tuesday, which under other circumstances would have been lovely. Daniel couldn't get a flight into BWI, so flew into Dulles nearly two hours from where we're staying; my parents retrieved him from the DC Metro and drove him to Frederick, where we met them at the Silver Diner after driving through familiar northwest Maryland. My parents took us out for brunch before we headed back to Hanover, where Paul's brothers and nephews had taken Clair to lunch. 

Apart from a stop in Walmart for some cables to try to set up a Roku for him, we spent the afternoon with Clair, David and Jon, Jon's wife Brooke and twin sons, plus Daniel, mostly sitting in the courtyard of Clair's senior living community chatting and catching up on things. Adam drove in from Ohio, arriving in the late afternoon, after which we went to Lu Hibachi Buffet, where we've eaten many times with most of these family members in Hanover. We drove by farms, forests, and Mount St. Mary's:
