Down at my moms with my family, my brothers family and my sisters family.. pleasant chaos .. 16 of us in all.. cousins from age 5 to 27.. tons of eating and drinking, music, goofiness.
I picked up Max today around noon.. on the way home we stopped by MIT to see where they were tearing down my old dorm Bexley. Sure enough, it was just a hole in the ground. I managed to sneak inside a fence and through a samstone into the whole. I also grabbed a brick.. then had to run when one of the workmen started to run after me !
we also dropped in an saw are friend Elsa in Sommerville … she was doing great.
The only job for the day was to take pictures.. it was strange doing it without Dad .. and without sam of course… John L. had to leave this morning also.. but we were mostly there..
later on we pulled out the 70 foot plastic tarp and built a slip and slide.. dosed it with soap and slid.. good and dangerous fun !
then sushi and inappropriate tv !.. Nice end to the day
Where am I?… It's 3 AM and I just woke up confused… I fell asleep on the couch at my moms. My brother and his family and my sister and her family are all here the start of our vacation. Rest of my family are heading here tomorrow.
The place is crawling with cousins… It's really good seeing them all. Everybody's older and taller and doing wel
It's nice being together… Togetherness also highlights who's not here… Missing my dad, missing Sam
Before we came down I was helping Gabe and Dianne at the barn. We have the use of the lift today which they used to get the tile ends of the barn. I got one whole side completely done. Lift makes it so much easier
It's quite an art driving this thing around the yard without rolling over stuff like the pool steps are the Leach field.
Right… Going to try to go back to sleep. It's almost 4 AM… Wish me luck.
I got some very much needed down time today. Sep till 8 and managed to catch up on many things.. including the need to be out in the woods with Diane …
By evening I was feeling pretty human again.. We ended up having an all MOE evening . First dinner at Moe’s
Then we met friends down at the Waterside to hear the great Jam band MOE !. It was a great show.. and a beautiful night !
