Tired but it was all fun . . .

Are these rocks big enough to sell?  We shall have to wait and see!
Had late breakfast-early lunch yesterday with two daughters and son-in-law at Hash a go go at Mohegan Sun. It was nice and relaxing. Managed to park in Puppies and Dante's Pop's old stomping grounds at the former UNC. It's really the only place I like to park at the casino. We don't even go in a garage! Today youngest and I headed off to Wrentham Village Premium Outlets on a shopping spree. I'm pooped and spreed out! We got there around 10 am and left around 2 pm. Let's see if I can enumerate the stores we visited: 7 For All Mankind, BCBG Max Azria, Kenneth Cole, Samsonite, Ruby Tuesday and Godiva Chocolatier. Those are only the stores where we spent money! Now I know why I'm dragging! Counting the shopping as exercise for today! At least we did find the New Balance Store is now open so if and when Puppies and Dante's Pop needs new shoes we know the store is there!

Yesterday was an important mile stone for us! The natural gas line is now connected to the new Prestige Excellence Heat and Hot Water Boiler. If visiting daughter from England had not decided to Tweet and Facebook about our plight we would still be waiting for someone to return our calls, emails and fax! We are really grateful that her persistence and know how worked like a charm. The telephone call from Northeast Utilities came Tuesday and they set the time for plumber and Yankee Gas at 10 am Wednesday morning. At 10:10 am Yankee Gas workers had completed their work and by 10:40 am our plumbers had finished the installation.  Incredible that Yankee Gas, part of Northeast Utilities took so long to do the job. Now we wait for the first bill and hope they get the rates right! Keeping my fingers crossed!
