vacation days

Let's see. We've been here for three full days. We have just been hanging out with our oldest son Polio and other friends, eating at a few of our favorite restaurants, enjoying the down time. The DH and Sandbox are going to rehearse with the choir tonight while I kick back with my homies. (homies in this case means a couple of other almost-middle-aged-ladies holding G&T's).

Today I'm going over to my old workplace to see what's still standing. I'm going to try and talk shop enough to write this trip off as a business expense. That oughta work right?

Not much to report but I'm trying to get back in the blogging groove. Great to hear from you guys! In comments, tell me your favorite winter sport (to play or to watch). Mine are hockey and curling - NOT!

hey!

A quick recap since the last post:

Christmas - was all right. Rather subdued but the visit from Goo was a highlight. Lots of snow.

New Year's - was all right. Goo was still there and we had a small party. We had a dark-haired guest go outside and ring the doorbell and be the first across the threshold in the new year for good luck (like they do in Scotland?). Sampled some horrible Indiana wine - I don't recommend it.

January - Went to court and worked on some more high profile cases. Stress. Interesting. Good times. Also, lots of snow.

February - The DH turned 47. It snowed. Money troubles, the kids got good grades. More snow.

March - were going to travel to our old stomping grounds to see our oldest son and, of course, visit friends but decided to put it off for two weeks. The kids took it well. It meant we'd be there for Easter. Snow.

The day we left, we got a late start because we waited for the freezing rain to turn to rain. Then in New Brunswick, we encountered a freakin' blizzard. You know what a blizzard is? SNOW. The next day was high winds, but day three of the drive was beautiful and clear. We made it in time for church and had a great reunion!

Easter Sunday was more church and more reunion, inlcuding one with our favorite Mexican restaurant. After lunch, it snowed. Naps, then communal dinner with friends. Aahh.

Met our son's girlfriend. She's smart and pretty and has a good sense of humor. Day 1 has been good.
