Pie and John Botts

Bob’s sister Lynn lives near us back home, and Lynn’s oldest daughter Laura, known as “Pie” to family members (surely there’s a story there, but if we’ve heard it we don’t recall)  lives here in Fort Lauderdale. We alerted Pie to our plan to come to Fort Lauderdale on our way to the Keys, and late this afternoon she arrived on our boat for a visit.  Shortly after, her boyfriend John Botts arrived.  No, not John, but John Botts. Again, there’s probably a story as to why he’s known as John Botts, right?

We had a lovely 3-hour visit with them on the boat, catching up on the latest with all family members, some political discussion (fortunately we all share political persuasions, so that was easy), work for them, and travels for us. They are lively and sweet to each other, so it made for a pleasant evening. Since we expect to miss family connections a lot this year, it was nice to have a family get-together, if only for one evening.
