We drove along Route 49 over Ekonk Hill to The Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center in Mystic yesterday morning. I wanted to see the place where Kiddo would be spending some of his summer vacation. What a treat even in the early Spring. On arrival I explained to the ladies why we had dropped in and they kindly let us roam around without charge. We didn't stay too long since they were so accommodating but I'm sure Kiddo is going to love his chosen daytimes at this summer camp. Since I'll be picking him up on certain days, I will volunteer to help out with some data entry or office work. This is going to be a good summer. Before we left we went into the little store and I found the neatest book, Helping Billy Bluebird. After bumming money from Puppy's Pop I bought it and gave it to him as a present when we got back to the Ponti. He liked it! Now that is really cool. The watercolors are just perfect and since the illustrator, Angie Falstrom, is from Lyme I don't think I'm wrong when I suggest that we drove by the home pictured in the book. It is also a signed copy by the author, Mary Ellen Caruso. Neato! We drove to Richoni's for lunch and since I had a driver I splurged and had Michael's super duper best Margarita. It's good to have a driver. Daughter made us lunch and we were back on the country roads to Moosup. Good day. Then for a good night I heard from older brother and younger brother; much laughter ensued. Life is good. The only complaint I have today is that my hand-me-down, youngest child knitted socks have worn out. Not sure if I can wrangle another pair but I'm going to try!
