Alive and Well...all of them!

So we left Vermont Friday, drove down boring I-89 and I-91 to CT. We pitched in to watch the Grandbabies on Sat so Demian and Lori could go into "the City" to see a show and meet up with old friends after. Remmants of Hurricane Cindy made driving fun ( not) just about the time I took over in MA and became stronger on occasion the rest of the way South. Oh yeah..I was most impressed when I noticed the wiper blade was sneaking up the arm while we were on the Merritt Parkway (with all the crazies) at 4:30 pm and 20 minutes of traveling to go. We stopped and Greg got it to stay in place for the duration...today's job is to replace it.

I'm happy to report that in spite of a 7 hour power outage and two aging grandparents, we had a great time, Kieran and Maura couldn't have been easier to deal with. I still have no idea what caused the power outage but thanks to Pop Pop Greg, I had a hard time convincing Maura that Grandma Fran didn't "break" it. She still was telling her parents Grandma broke the elctricity on Sunday morning. Thanks Pop Pop. Someday Maura will eat..I suspect when she gets hungry. Kieran continues to make the best faces especially when he is thinking "hard"..he cracks me up. They survived reasonably well...only a few scapes and bumps but nothing overtly caused by us or our inattention. whew...we didn't break them...we can do this again!

Snort...Lori had the line of the weekend while trying to decide where to have dinner " Can we just go somewhere where they don't have ketchup on the table?" Bahahahaha...love it! Good Job Lori!

Kieran cried buckets when we left...that makes me feel awful; I hope he gets over that soon since we try to be so upbeat about our leaving.

So now we get to spend the week in lovely downtown New Haven. I have a couple of errands to run today..whooppee; wipers and a headlight is out also. I'm hoping to connect with a few friends over the course of the week as well..maybe even meet the kids at the zoo in Bridgeport we went to before.

In the meantime have a good week all...I may be here more beacause 1) I might have something to report or 2) I'll just have more alone time to write.

I love that line of Lori's also, it is a classic. Have a good week.
