Visit With John and Mary Lynn, Coronado, CA

Cathryn’s parents have been friends with John and Mary Lynn for something like 50 years, so they’re dear family friends she has known all her life (and parents of Chelle Newman who we saw at Pismo Beach, CA two days ago). We see them whenever they visit Cathryn’s parents in Seattle. We called a week ago and made plans to have breakfast together in their hometown of Coronado, CA just before crossing the border into Mexico. We had a fabulous meal, a tour of their lovely home which they built 11 years ago, and the yard, and visited for 3 hours. Their home is light and airy, with a gorgeous art collection on the walls, accumulated from their travels in Europe and elsewhere, and from one of their daughters who is a talented painter. They both seem healthy and well, with John busy playing tennis 3 times a week, and Mary attending exercise classes at the gym several times a week, plus they win blue ribbons in the Garden Show each spring for their exquisite yard. We caught up on news in both of our families and had a great visit!
