Our Highlights in April
Lunch with Friends
We and four friends gathered for lunch with a friend in her home by Five Mile River in Rowayton, Connecticut. It was a beautiful day, and we celebrated the arrival of spring as we watched some boats coming and going, as well as some ducks and geese.

DMA Hikers
We hiked a rather difficult trail at the top of the Saugatuck River in Weston, Connecticut. It seemed like very few other hikers had been there since the snow disappeared as there were lots of leaves covering the roots and rocks on the trail.

Andrew's Confirmation
The Easter Vigil at St. John Church in Darien, Connecticut was very special for us as one of John’s grandsons was confirmed then. He and his finance will marry there at the end of July and that will be a very special time as well.

After Easter Dinner
We enjoyed having our Kenyan friends from West Haven, Connecticut for Easter Dinner. They brought some of their favorite foods - chapatis, pilau and plantains – which we enjoyed because they reminded us of special times in Kenya.

John's Cake
We celebrated John’s 90th birthday with his family at a new restaurant in Darien, Connecticut. This was his third time celebrating his long life. He was honored a couple of weeks earlier by the Mission Team of Noroton Presbyterian Church in Darien – and also with a friend who provided pizza before we watched Conclave.
