Ashburn, Virginia

August 3, Sunday: Off to see Pat and Chuck's new house and area. They have a dog walker here so we were able to leave for a longer than usual time. Very nice!
It took us about 40 minutes to get their Del Webb community. Their house is perfect. It has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, with a loft and a sunroom. The master suite is downstairs. Very cozy (even though their furniture has not arrived) and yet very roomy. Looking forward to visiting. Yes! can you believe they invited us to visit even after hearing Kathy' tales about our length of our visit. They gave us a tour of the grounds and clubhouse. After our tour, we headed into Leesburg for lunch and strolled around this old town. It was established in the early 1700s. We dropped the Cole's off at their house but did not stay longer because it was getting late.
On the way home we made a Costco stop. I think everyone who lived in the area was there. Larry commented this is why we don't shop on the week-ends unless we have to.

August 4, Monday: Took the dogs for a long walk and ended up talking to our neighbors. Jim, Julie, and their daughters, Abbie and Toni. They live just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. It was great fun being their neighbors for a few days.
Chuck and Pat arrived to play more games. Today it was 'Hand & Foot' which is a card game. The men just blew us away but we will get them next time. I fixed a Southwest Chicken Salad for early dinner then we walked down to the little cafe for ice cream. We will not see the Cole's until September on our return trip. They are headed for California to wrap up the details of their house.
The weather here has been quite nice in the high 80s with low humidity. Very comfortable at night so we are taking the opportunity is sit outside as much as possible.

August 5, Tuesday: Today is my treatment day. Actually, that is why we are in the DC area. Kaiser has a facility here. My appointment was for 1:30pm. Larry was able to get his blood test done and his prescription for coumadin while he waited for me. I finished about 4:45pm. We stopped for a little bite to eat on the way home. Unfortunately, this treatment knocked me out. Larry thinks too much activity and too long of a time between treatments. I guess I am just having too much fun. Needless to say, early bed tonight.
Good night!
