Tuffy P visits Baltimore and Washington

Tuffy P and her friend from Halifax Suzanne, spent a week visiting Baltimore and Washington. I just looked at 281 photos from their trip!

Tuffy P, Suzanne and Homer Butler

In their travels they met a fellow named Homer Butler, who helped them find the right bus to get to the Baltimore Museum of Art. As it turns out, Mr. Butler used to live in Canada – he played safety and cornerback for the Saskatchewan Roughriders! In fact, in 1978, he led the team in interceptions.

They saw lots of great art, like this painting by coal miner folk artist Jack Savitsky! They saw Julia Childs’ TV kitchen in the Smithsonian, and they even went contra dancing (at the Lovely Lane Methodist Church, on St. Paul’s St. in downtown Baltimore…where they’ve been contra dancing for 30 years with a live band)

They had a great time – but I’m glad to have Tuffy home!
