Jaime Lassman came to Lancaster with Jack and Reed on Tuesday, April 1, 2014, to celebrate spring break at The Lexington School, where he coordinates curriculum and technology. On Friday evening Al and I were invited to share dinner with them at Nancy and Gary Bennett’s home.

 

Jack and Reed were playing with the Wii when we arrived, and it was so much fun to spend the evening with children running around.

 

 

 

Nancy, Jaime, and Jack had just returned from seeing the Muppet movie, while Gary stayed with a napping Reed. We had a delicious dinner with the boys.

Geoffrey and Amanda Bennett joined us about 6 PM after work in Philadelphia.

It was so good to hear young people chat about their busy lives. Amanda just took her GRE exams for graduate work, which she plans to start soon. Geoff had been to Lancaster last weekend to help Elly move some furniture for their new home in Washington DC. Jack and Reed joined us for dessert.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jack is six years old and in first grade at the school where Jaime works. Reed is 20 months old and goes to day care nearby. He is beginning to talk and is on the move every minute. They had been to Wilmington to see Marty Lassman, their grandfather, and were returning to Lexington on Saturday.

Reed is recovering from a sinus infection, and came to say goodnight to us before an early bedtime.

 

It was a happy evening – there is nothing I like better than to spend time with people who enjoy each others company.
