Reunion in the Frigid North

Taking Shadow for a walk was always an undertaking. He loved staying outside while tears would be running down our face. Anisa steals my K2 trek jacket to stay warm.
Snow keeps coming down.

The Harman house. Very nicely done...and warm.

The Green Lantern in Fairport.
Nazareth College where Jennifer is a Director.
Nice door
Not sure what hospital this was, (lost all sense of geography as Jennifer drove us around.) but it had cool gargoyles.
One of the cool gargoyles.
More.
A scary one.
Anisa was talking about her project on Frederick Douglas, the abolitionist, and Jon said his grave was nearby, so we had to find it. The tracks in the ground were Jennifer and Jon's attempt to drive up, with prolific dumping of kitty litter and finally moving forward on foot.
We found the gravesite.
There had been a snowstorm and yet there was a trail laid out there. We werent the only ones who had shown up there that morning.

Anisa's almost wreath laying!
We werent the first to get to the Douglas gravesite.
Lunch at Bilal's was fantastic. Thanks Farrah! The kids hanging out together. They had all tried a hand at rowing which was a thumbs up.
Nassir and Bilal.It had been 30 years since I had seen either one of them. It was great to catch up.
lining up for dessert which was fabulous. Anisa complained about leaving because she was just getting to know them.

Bilal was nice as ever and Nassir was funny as ever and the families got to meet each other.
Jennifer and Jon start a fire in the back yard abutting the grave yard.
Anisa came out after the fire was going well.
Jon has an app that gives out owl calls and owls in the trees answer...or someone else has the same app and is hiding behind the tree as Jennifer pointed out. The fire was warm but the cold was colder!
We had a wonderful dinner at Nassir and Shehla's house heard many funny stories.
