Tuesday the 8th was Lauril's birthday and I'd been telling her for a couple of weeks not to schedule herself for anything and not to leave the house because she had a delivery coming. I left at my normal time in the morning but instead of going to work I returned just before the boys left for school. She seemed very surprised. We got the boys off to school and left. We drove to Leesburg and had a very nice visit. It was a peaceful day but humerously we kept stopping at stores a few minutes before they opened. We missed AC Moore (a craft store), an Antique store, and a Bead store all before they opened. Probably saved me a lot of money. We went to the visitors center and got some neat brochures. We found about Ball's Bluff battlefield. It was a very peaceful walk and Lydia handled it fine. We looked across the Potomac river into Maryland. We were about 40 miles from Harper's Ferry where John Brown had his famous rebellion for which he was hanged. In the evening we went to Bonefish restaurant.
We had a gift certificate. It is a very very nice restaurant in the area. We went to a movie afterward which was Leatherheads which is about professional football in 1925. It stars George Clooney and Renee Zellwiger. It was pretty good but mostly it was just good to be alone together.
