Jeff Higgs - Visit




19-20JAN07 Friday-Saturday. Worst of my Cold has come and gone. Yesterday, my voice was several octaves lower. Felt like Junk all day. Did manage to coordinate with an old EMT Friend of mine – Jeff Higgs. He and his wife “Mary” Live in Shannadoah – Over two hours away from DC. What a picturesque setting. The scenery made the ride there enjoyable. A Shipmate and I went over around noon. Arrived around 2:30PM. Jeff showed us around the “Farm”. About 4:00PM Mary arrived at the Farm. She had prepared a wonderful meal of Pot Roast. The homemade meal was a welcome change from the MRE’s and Chow Hall. After dinner, we chatted for several hours then watched the Movid “SWAT” We Crashed at 10:00PM. I got the Air Mattress. My shipmate got the nice, big bed. Around Dusk, the Deer were seen walking the Higg’s property. Got up and had a nice breakfast of SOS. Very nice. We left around 10:30AM. The weatherman is forecasting Snow/Rain Tomorrow evening. Therefore, we thought it best to get underway prior to the bad weather moving in. At the moment, doing laundry to get caught up.
