Ashley is recovering well from her surgery and everything looks like she'll do just fine. Rebecca has passed her math class (she has my curse in that math does not come easy to us). Rebecca's plans are to stay in college and is currently thinking of continuing towards a Reg. Nurse degree. That may come in handy for me, while building all those chairs, etc., I have a decent case of plantar faciaitis (sp?) in one foot and tendonitis in the elbow again. I still say I'm growing older... not up! but getting older isn't for pansies :)
We had a good trip to New Hampshire, flying into Boston, renting a car and driving to Nashua. Carolyn's brother Rich married Amy, they found each other, new it was right! and didn't waste anytime gettin hitched. Carolyn's other brother (Kirk) brought her mom over from New York, she looks good and was a real trooper for a long drive and wedding in one day. On Sunday we drove to Mount Sunapee for a Arts and Crafts show that was quite something, the talent and quality on display were amazing and easily out of our price range but for one item.... a $50. butter dish :)
On Monday Rich, and Amy took us to Essex, MA to a seafood place called Woodman's, the place was familiar in that I'm a "This Old House" fan, one episode had Kevin the redheaded guy and the plumber guy highlighting this place. Their claim to fame is they "invented" the fried clam. Their fried shrimp is pretty darn good too!
Tuesday was a drive into Boston for our flight back to Atlanta, always fun.
Being the middle of August and out high temperature today is 72 degrees is absolutely amazing. We plan on having the wettest summer on record (no complaints). Next excursion to Marcia and Don's, we're renting a condo for a week and will be exclusive babysitters for Tinsley and Tyler. Looking forward to that! :)
Here's some pics...
