The Men over Break

It is tough to write a blog about the Willard men's interactions when the Willard men are not together. But from what I've pieced together from everyone about their time during thanksgiving break this is what I have gotten...

Joe "Daddy" Danehower is spending a lovely holiday at his home in Chantilly, Virginia. Finally back with family and friends, Joe and his brothers are sure to play some quick basketball games in their driveway on thanksgiving morning, followed by a gourmet smorgesboard of food served by Mrs. Danehower. After dinner, its a gurantee that the real Daddy Danehower will gather everyone around a fire to sing Christmas Carols. An American Family.

John Carr spends his time at the beach, as we all know. He and his family have traveled down to the always tropical beaches of north carolina, where john has been surfing for 22 out of the 24 hours in a day. Boy, he loves to surf!

Sam's been spending time with Nancy and Bruce back in Fishersville, most likely riding his chopper, reading Eragon/HarryPotter, and hunting. Also, he may have planned a visit to see his girlfriend Eliza, but who really knows with this mystery man.

Doug is still on his journey home for thanksgiving. A wilderness man at heart, Doug is hiking the 400 miles back to Maryland. Even as I type this, Doug is probably fighting off one of the creatures native to the wilderness known as Baltimore. Possibly an Oriole. No need to worry though, the Orioles are pretty easy to beat.

Evan is hunting.

Jeremy has traveled back to the desolation known as the North. This yankee doesn't eat turkey for thanksgiving, no one in the north does. They don't celebrate thanksgiving in the north. They celebrate beating the south in the civil war. Just can't let it go can you Jeremy?

Jackson has had an interesting break so far. His long time friend and house keeper passed away, so he attended her funeral at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. It was quite the event apparently. Her life was celebrated however, which is awesome. He also has been sneaking out onto his front porch late at night when his family is asleep....

What have I been doing? working like a dog. Not really though, I did some work this weekend for my aunt and gramma, and then Monday drove the four hour drive ( I made it in three) to Vienna, Virginia to visit Allie. We walked around Alexandria, saw artists, ate lasagna and stargazed. So it was pretty amazing, especially if you have never had Mrs. Golden's lasagna before. Now i'm going to eat lunch with long time friend, James Thomas Tetsuo Lopaka Tworek.. And yes, that is his full name.

  1. I have had an unreasonable amount of people ask me if I actually hiked back to maryland over break, an unreasonable possibility seeing as hiking 400 miles would take at least 20 days. To make things clear: I drove home and spent a week there. Don't believe everything James tells you (but believe most).
