More memory trips -- March 22nd -- Day 10

There was no basketball where we were today, so we had arranged to visit my cousin Vause Carlsen and her daughter Betsy in Flushing, which is near Flint, about an hour northwest of where we stayed in Auburn Hills. We hadn't seen Vause for several years, and as best any of us could remember it had been about forty years since we'd seen Betsy (for those who have seen our wedding pictures, Betsy is the six-year old towhead, the only child present). We left later than planned, and as a result the visit ended later than planned as well, but shortly after noon we were heading back to Ann Arbor, with Max watching the Duke vs. Albany game on my cell phone until we could find a sports bar to have lunch and watch the second half. The Blue Devils played better than they had in Greensboro, and won by a not very comfortable 73-61 score. We spent the afternoon visiting old haunts in Ann Arbor, as well as the new building at the Law School (pictured above), which is an amazing match to the original buildings built 80 years earlier. Friday evening we had dinner at the restaurant where we had held our wedding reception 46+ years ago. Then known as the Lord Fox, it's now Roger Monk's. While the food was nothing to celebrate, our evening was enhanced by a strong dose of nostalgia, and then enhanced again by witnessing the young couple at an adjacent table become engaged, complete with flowers, him on one knee, and two glasses of champagne.
