Hank and Maria's
In July we spent a lovely few days in Winston-Salem with my cousin Maria and her husband Hank. They have a beautiful home and were gracious (or courageous? or crazy?) enough to invite our crew to come for a visit. It was a real party with their younger son Harper, who came in for a day; my Aunt Mido, who lives there in the summer; and my parents, who joined us as well. We visited, ate large, delicious meals, relaxed on the porch, and swam in the pool.
I'm sorry I didn't get more pictures of the house. The kids stayed in the "French room." What girl wouldn't love sleeping on this fancy bed under a plume of snowy white feathers?
One night we had an amazing catered dinner to celebrate our recent seminary grads: Erik from RTS Atlanta, and Harper from RTS Charlotte (on the same day this past May). Here the graduates toast each other while sporting their new bow ties in the official Reformed Theological Seminary Tartan. Our family and RTS have a great history together. My dad was in the second graduating class at RTS Jackson (the original campus), my (and Harper's) cousin Jay graduated from RTS Jackson a few years ago, and my late Uncle Norman (Aunt Mido's husband and Harper and Jay's grandfather) was a professor in the early days.
