On August 30 we flew from Dublin, Ireland to Raleigh, NC, changing planes in New York City.

We spent the weekend of Labor Day in nearby Cary with daughter Nellie and her daughters Jessie and Katie.  Jessie is a freshman at Appalachian State University, and was home for the holiday.  Katie just graduated from Meredith College, and is working while taking a term off before attending graduate school.  Nellie is a very busy equity partner in the  law firm Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice.  So our visit, although very short, was about as long as could be squeezed in.

We visited, went for some walks, saw a movie, went out for sushi, made some delicious meals at home and generally just enjoyed spending some time together.
