My date with Grace on Wednesday went well, with Anne in attendance. We looked surprised when Grace mentioned that her husband had turned 80, as we thought her to be in her early 40s or so. Turns out she is 60. Long time since I have met a 60yr old looking that good. Anyway, really nice, vivacious and helpful. Husband owns 'quite a bit of land'. He was dyslexic and flunked school and had quite a youth before doing well for himself. They now own a farm/forest up in the Sourlands hills just north of here. Some 60n acres around the house and another 400 or so acres of forest, which they are paid to manage. It is an important migration stop for birds flying from Novia Scotia south. We looked up google map out of curiosity and it looks like they have their own air-strp! They are arranging a dinner party for us with some friends in the next week or so. We are very much looking forward to that, as you can imagine!
