Milford, Pennsylvania

On a sunny Saturday in October, CAFAs in the East Coast proceeded to Pennsylvania upon the invitation of Rody and Howie. Rody and Howie own a vacation cottage in the Milford countryside which was interesting for the CAFAs to visit and experience. The two owners left earlier in the day to prepare for the arrival of the group. Didi, Nore, Bili and Oni traveled together from Manhattan. Tong and Rita came from Rockland. Romy, Rory, Rudy and Cindy drove from Connecticut. 

The day consisted of a tour of quaint Middletown (the nearby village); chit chat (finally more time now to talk about the reunion absentees); and great food (adobo; fried chicken; relyenong bangus; fresh bread; and lime, blueberry and apple pies). The excursion culminated in CAFA singing of CAFA standards (to the captured audience) this time including Rody (who missed the Milwaukee reunion). 

The 85 year old cottage is located in a rustic 1.5 acre rural setting. It is a refreshing hide away that displayed the deft interior touch of Rody. A large part of the backyard was fenced in (it specifically served as the weekend romping ground for a pet dog that recently died to the grief of Rody and Howie). Today, the cottage is on the verge of being sold. The CAFAs are lucky to visit it before that.
