I'm so glad I attended the DAR District Regents Luncheon on Thursday.  Not only was it great to see friends, have a lovely lunch (seafood manicotti), but the memorial for deceased members of the club was held.  Although I am not a member of the chapter now, a memorial was held for my two dear friends one who was regent prior to me and one following me was held.   I am so glad that I was there for that.  Friday, Tyler was here.  He was so much fun and interested in toys, puzzles, how things worked, and a storybook.  Saturday the genealogy conference was held.  John Philip Colletta was the speaker and he was outstanding.  He is such a great story-teller and as a result he was so engaging.   He gave four talks and the conference was from 9 to 4. As always, I am a soft touch when it comes to buying books and there were a lot of book vendors there on Saturday.
