Catching up...

Sooooooo much has happened but it all feels like a blur now. I enjoyed my visit in CT immensely........the church fair, the cotton candy the rides the sausage and peppers...urp. Everything a a fair should be.

Kieran's Christening went very well...he looked so cute...he also was hanging over the back of the pew laughing at his sister during mass. With 4 digital cameras and Lori' 35mm we have a few photos to peruse. The rest of the visit was just relaxing...watching the kiddies grow before our eyes. " Allllll ddddooooonnneee Sllleeeeeepppping!!!!!!!!!!" was the phrase of the weekend. hehehe

I drove home Tuesday...saw many men/women in blues and greens and unmarked cars, too. I drove slower than usual...even stopped in Brattleboro and found a pair of red shoes for $20...what a deal. Well the outlet was right there near the gas station and gas was so much cheaper in VT!

Eldon was done with the porch by the time I got home...he just had to clear away the construction debris. I like it........ he does good work especially trying to deal with the irregularities of the house. He must have worked on that little pitch roof over the door 3-4 times before settling on that design. The issue was incorporating two roof lines at 2 different pitches and 2 different widths to make a third to draw rain water away from the corner. Now I need to get some topsoil and some plantings for around the base of it. oooooo and just think of Christmas decorations!

At any rate, I'm back in Maryland for the next week or so........The teal Alero is parked crooked out in the parking lot....it's raining. I think I just might have to go shopping or something today. Maybe not. There is an NFL Kickoff Concert on the Mall this evening with a few hundred thousand extra people expected to attend. I think they were all out on the streets in cars this morning. Actually maye the locals were on the streets with me since the beltway was in tangles.
