Hi-Ho Silver and away!

Umm...I guess that title is a dead giveaway of my age! At anyrate, my Pony tire Swing finally arrived yesterday...too bad it was 2 weeks AFTER our grandchildren's visit! what to do, what to do...I could put it up anyway in "'Rani's Park" as Aidan calls my backyard and it will be there when they come back sometime...oooooorrrrr it can just go to Stamford. Any Suggestions from the peanut gallery?

The drive home was fine. All that nasty rain of last month and the sunshine of late sure has greened up the Green Mountains! Now Vermont is ready for visitors..all dressed up. BTW, I only nodded off a few times while listening to Johnathon Kellerman's "Rage" on CD during the ride home....notice I said ride, no I wasn't driving...this time. Quick quick..wash the clothes, put in the AC, pat the cats, and repack, don't forget drugs...we'll drive back down to CT tomorrow. yeah, it's the nature of the beast, we didn't know and prepare for being there for 2 weeks in a row. Oh well. pppssstt...at least the replacement top part of our traveling vac pot arrived in time..whew...back in business brewing coffee in the hotel room "our way".

I did have an opportunity to visit with an old friend from high school yesterday. I met Jackie for lunch, we talked as fast as we could but never really exhausted a topic and I was still 10 minutes late getting back to to pick up Greg. sorry. We'll get together again next week and she'll take me to her place of employment..an upscale kitchen shop! Oh...my...goodness! Last time I had ready access to one of those I bought a "used" super automatic coffee system and saved us $900! Jackie only works there part time..her husband is still waiting for her to actually bring home a paycheck. Jackie says she is absolutely stocked up and ready to go if she should ever decide to cook again. snort. Yup, no change there, funny how I seem to attract the same type of friend over and over. We picked right up where we left off..I doubt we have seen each other more than a couple of times in the last 33 years! Aaahhh..fun times ahead again.

Oh yeah, I also noticed the Phantom Fireworks store was open in new Haven for the season. Too bad it can only carry the products that are legal in CT. Rats...that means it's only sparklers and fountains...no arials. Well, they did have some 3 foot long Morning Glory sparklers, though..they could be fun. Maybe I can rekindle the good old days of putting on a small show out in our street It wouldn't be the same without Mr Smith hiding in the bushes though..he was our city Fire Chief and neighbor. He couldn't outwardly condone our activities but he was there for most of them.

On that fond memory, guess I'll have another cup of coffee then tackle the laundry room. I had to rearrange everything in order to get the AC in the window. Rearrange=move everything from on top around and under the table the AC sat on and make room for us to get it into the window. Now it all has to go back somewhere. Where's that dumpster when I need it?

Have a fine weekend all.....

Will you be in CT before the grandchildren come back to VT? If so, I'll send it to Stamford. Instant gratification.
