Late last night, my second cousin Vinny (left) and his son JD arrived at our home. JD will be a freshman at Boston College this fall and his dad made the trip to help him get settled in. They both tested negative for Covid before leaving their home in Manhattan Beach but we all wore masks out of an abundance of caution. When he moves into his room later this afternoon, JD will not be allowed to leave again until he receives another negative test and Vinny will stay with us through Friday to make sure that everything goes smoothly. When we lived in Indianapolis, we would stop in to visit Vinny’s family every year on the way back from our annual family retreat at Bay Side Camp. We are thrilled to have them staying with us.
