Tilly feeds Ava Ava loves visiting her Marietta Family Ava, Penny, and I had a lovely trip down to Marietta, Georgia. My three cousins, Tilly, Elinor, and Davis were Ava-maniacs and played with her nonstop. Ava slept very well there because she was so worn out from all the play time! Aunt Julie and Uncle Ed spoiled us with their elegant cuisine (that they gave me copies for the recipes for the cookbook---yum!), Jena and Dean made us more homemade tie dye shirts that are in such high demand, and Penny ate enough food that she could effectively go into hibernation for a few months. Other highlights of the trip were going to the Marietta Square on their Big Band music night, a family party, walking the old neighborhoods of Marietta to see all the houses from the 1800s that have been magnificently restored, and watching Tilly and Elinor play tennis. Greg was greatly missed and we are looking forward to the next time we can come visit the Southern family.
