CT updates - a quiet week

June 24, 2007
Broad Brook, CT

Other than our trip to NYC on Monday, things have been generally quiet here in CT up until the graduation on Friday. We had a nice visit with Mike and Susan before the NYC trip; they left for a few days at Hampton Beach, on the New Hampshire shore Wednesday-Thursday. Mike’s daughter, Jackie, and her two daughters, Kaitlyn and Aleesa, visited from their home in Maine for the weekend. It was good to see everyone, especially since Mike and Jackie are the only two of “the clan” who have moved away from CT. Pictures are here:

We got a call mid-week that Mom was back in the hospital, but doing well. She had a period of weakness and disorientation and got an ambulance ride, but tests aren’t showing much so far. She got another transfusion and is doing better, but they’re keeping her until next week and will run more tests.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday were generally dedicated to graduation-related activities. The graduation was Friday evening and the “after party” was Saturday. I’ll create a separate post(s) on those activities. The preparation involved moving a lot of stuff around, deploying extra picnic tables and a tent, and arranging for an awful lot of food. While a couple of trays of sausage and peppers and stuffed shells were “outsourced”, most of the stuff for the party was put together at home. This meant numerous trips to the store for planned, unplanned, and forgotten items. Al’s pickup truck got quite a good workout!
