While at church Sunday in Gloucester, VA, when we told them where we were from, we were told that there were some people in the ward that came from where we hail. We were told that Loren and Joan Pryor were living here! We were amazed and pleasantly surprised. They were old Medford First Warders from way back. We excitedly called them after church, but there was no answer, so we left a message and hoped they were not out of town. Sunday night, Loren called and after a short visit invited us to come see them on Monday. They both are retired but, work part time as store keepers and tour guides of the historic town of Yorktown VA.
So, the next day we went to see them. It was like old home week!! It was so special to see old friends that we had not seen in years!
We rode together in our truck to Yorktown, where we went to lunch together in one of their favorite places. It was an old house that was built in the early to mid 1700's. The food was fabulous!! We had sandwiches and tomato bisque soup with carrot cake for dessert! I would drive back here to Virginia just to eat there. Good stuff!
For those of you that remember the Pryors, know that they are going strong and staying really busy. Here we are after we ate. We forgot to have the waitress take the picture while we still had food on the table. We were so busy enjoying the food and catching up, we forgot until we were ready to leave.
Loren then surprised us with taking us to their son, Randy's, store where he rents out Segway PT's and then took us on a grand tour of Yorktown. That will be in the next entry.
