Had a wild ride yesterday. We left to pick grandson up at 10:15am just as the snow started to fall and didn't get to Richoni's until about 11:45am. Usually it's about a 40 minute drive. We had just about gotten past Plainfield Exit 87 and the fun started. There was a truck that had spun out and hit the guardrails in the right lane and then ended up facing traffic in the left lane after messing around in the median. There was a policeman there who had just come on the scene. Before we got to Groton we lost track of the accidents after counting 25 vehicles down and out. What a mess. We stayed at Richoni's for a delicious hamburger platter lunch and then made our way home slowly but with no more accidents.
Spent the rest of the day sliding, playing games and racing slot cars. Today we again had lunch at Richoni's. This could get to be a habit. Grandson and I had the Chicken Finger Platter and Grampa had the Hamburger Platter again. But there was a lot to choose from and it's all very well prepared. Troy was in the kitchen and daughter and son-in-law were relaxing a bit since they got home at 4:30 this morning! They had a good night at the Lounge and in the Towing Department! They were on their way home to spend sometime with the kids as we left.
Just finished taking down the Christmas decorations. It's a big job and the house looks a bit empty. I only managed one faux pas. When I checked the tree to see if there was any water left I got a mess of blue spruce sap on my head! But I used some alcohol and it turned out fine. My lucky day.
