Went to visit my Mom on Friday - the one day this week we didn't have anything planned. Nothing, of course, until I made plans to go to Gram's, then suddenly there's a youth group murder mystery dinner theater at 5:00 that they really wanted to go to! So much for a leisurley day - but it was a blessing in disguise, 'cause traffic north was hideous, and if we had left later it would have been bogatrocius. (vocab. courtesy of Frazz comic)
Of course, a visit to Grafton in the summer must include a foot-long on a grilled bun with a chocolate milk!
Art Bradish's - doesn't get much better than that!
When I had asked the boys earlier in the week if they wanted to go - they said 'yes' - and then Rai says "can she get us a cake?" He loves the white cakes from Mrs. Mack's Bakery! (Frankly, who doesn't, once they stopped making those horrible dry yellow cakes - always had to make sure there was plenty of milk in the house!) Of course, Gram is not one to let you down when it comes to dessert, so the bakery put together a 'Bon Voyage' cake for us.
One thing I haven't done in ages is go down to the brook by Mr. and Mrs. Allen's.
Notice Andrei's red shirt in the background -
he wasn't much interested in lingering and observing nature.
Told him he better start being interested,
'cause that's going to occupy a lot of his time over the next week!
He's gone... Found 18 crayfish without flipping a single rock! I caught two, just to show I could....
Nothing on the schedule for the rest of the day - gonna throw in the last couple loads of laundry and finish up the suitcases. Rai's off to Grammy's for a couple days, and Andrei and Craig are going to see Predator at the movies tonight....gonna enjoy the peace and quiet and slower pace for a little bit (if I get my chores done, that is!).
Customer Appreciation Concert at Tupelo on Sunday night - anyone ever heard of Gandalph Murphy and his Slobovian Circus ?
