The annual Marlborough Friends Meeting picnic on Sunday, June 3, drew worshippers of various faiths as well as people from the village and the surrounding neighborhood.
After a peaceful Meeting for Worship we headed into the social room, where lunch was laid out: BBQ chicken, ham, deviled eggs, chili, hot dogs and baked beans, potato salad, pasta salad, fruit, brownies and cake. Much more extensive fare than the standard potluck, and all very tasty.
At lunch we had the chance to catch up with old friends like Martin and Sandy Reber and Lewis Barnard (of Barnard's Orchards) and met some new ones. One fellow had, like us, gone on the library's Home and Garden Tour the day before, and we shared our impressions of the houses.
After lunch we explored the burial ground, where generations of Clouds, Martins, Bailys and Barnards (good old Chester County names) are buried.
Thank you to Chip and Penny Thomas and all the Friends at Marlborough for keeping up this tradition.
