Friends…
    Just a quick announcement that we’ll be having an end of summer pot-luck at our house tomorrow night (Sunday 9/2) at 6PM. We’ll be making SamStones as well.  The food theme is ‘Garden Harvest’ so use some of that end of season produce you still have growing. Don’t worry if you need to bend the theme… any thing you bring will be fine. We’ll have a grill or two going.  Please pass the winvite around. The more the merrier.  Questions/RSVP at 434-3576 . Hope to see you then

ps. My folks will be in town so come meet them !

Pss.. The rest of the day was low-key and fun. I spent most of it trying to de-virus one of our computers and trying to find a recently expired mouse that had gotten trapped in our bedroom wall. Neither fun unto itself.. but both requiring the kind of mindless concentration that I find I enjoy now. Around 2 Lou and Kathy came buy and got us out for a hike with the dogs. We went up Honey Hollow and did the high loop. It was absolutely gorgeous up there.. not many berries, though.

My folks showed up around 6. My Dad got out of the car drinking a Red Bull.. Must run in the family.

It is good to see those guys. We all went out to dinner at the Cider House in Waterbury. My Dad spent time in New Orrleans as a kid so we figured he’d enjoy all the Cajon stuff on their menu. it was a really nice meal. I really recommend the place.

We’re now home and all pretty sleepy. So everyone’s off to bed…. Lookign forward to the pot-luck here tomorrow night. please pass the invite around !

One other thing that happened today is that Deb broght aus a really nice prinnt that Hannah and Briteney had made for us… The picture took our breath away… Good night my beautiful  boy…
