Déjà vu . . .



Empty nest syndrome? Wow, didn't know it could strike again. Youngest and G. took the T from Attleboro at 1:52 this afternoon.They will stay in Boston for two nights visiting friends from SBRA before leaving for England Friday. Find it hard to believe they're already gone. It was the best visit this old house has seen. Only way it could have been perfect is if oldest and his wife could have been here too. At least daughters got to spend some time together and Kiddo absolutely loves his Aunt and G. Puppy's Pop and I got a chance to go to places we haven't visited in ages: Mystic Seaport, Sturbridge Village. D. and G. went up to Maine while Puppy's Pop and I were in Wrentham where Puppy's Pop won everything possible at the control line Northeast contest. He came home with the Mass Cup. We keep it for a year. Who knows, he may keep it for longer than that. He is that good. What a great show he put on. While the other men were flying I was having a good time keeping track of two Cricket Matches and walking a few miles on Wrentham's Parcourse. There are about a dozen stops along the path where there are different exercises set up to improve cardio fitness. Really neat. Since I've not blogged for a while I will mention that Puppy's Pop's younger brother is finally home from Yale New Haven where he was newly outfitted with brand spanking new wiring and a new pacemaker/ defibrillator. He was in the hospital for two weeks and is now home and on the mend. My older brother is also on the mend having undergone the same surgery as I. Now if we can all just stay out of doctors' offices for a few years I shall be content.
