Happy Anniversaries!

Memorial Day weekend is both Betsy and John's and Molly and Jerry's anniversary. Congratulations!

Yankee game!

We had a great time. The new stadium is cool, though weird to walk by the huge hulking old stadium.

Weedsport

Kate came up from NY yesterday- she went to Geneva to visit Grandmary today. I drove her to Weedsport, the midpoint between Geneva and Oswego where she and Sarah have had the Brennan/Culkin family exchange since they were tiny.

Here's a picture of Kate and Trish at the Weedsport Thruway exit.

Boiler is ON!

Yes, there is heat and hot water in the house now. Thank you Flo for everything!

Here are a couple of pictures from the last couple of days.

Beautiful!

Boiler Duty

I am in Oswego with Flo, who has been doing big-time-replace-the-boiler-in-Dad's-house duty. We have had fun, we stayed at a room over the Brew Pub last night after dinner at Patz and watched 10 minutes of the Dark Knight before we fell asleep in our respective recliners. Today we shared a pizza from Pizza Villa with the plumbers. Flo goes back to Denver tomorrow. Here is a scan of the plate off the old (dead) boiler that once heated the house with coal.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to all!!

Here are a couple of pictures from one of Vincent's holiday parties.

Thanksgiving in DC

Calvin and I spent Thanksgiving in DC with his mom and her family- it was a lot of fun, tasty too. Here are a few pictures.

Oswego in the Fall

Bill and I spent some time in Oswego; Bill is still there. Kate joined us, and we had dinner with Trish and Mary Brennan at Canale's. Bill and I went to hot yoga, had Thai food with Sandy, Mary Alice, Kathy, Tracey and Burt, and also had dinner at the house with Dan and Joan, Carol, and Terrie.

It is quite beautiful there right now. I forgot to take pictures until my last day, so I took many from-the-car shots. Many more on flickr.
