I\u2019m sorry about the unavailability of this site earlier.<\/p>\n

It is some problem with the carrier and quite frustrating.<\/p>\n

But I couldn\u2019t put up anything before this- and I still don\u2019t have<\/p>\n

any pictures to show- we have been VERY busy.<\/p>\n

\"039\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wrote a book for my grandson about the pleasures and rules of video calling<\/p>\n

via Skype.  It was fun and he likes it and Aiden likes it too!<\/p>\n

And then we drove 7 hours to get here on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The kids went swimming in the Sound that night after a wonderful dinner <\/p>\n

with vegetables and couscous , arugula salad and fresh tomatoes and some<\/p>\n

really delicious bread.<\/p>\n

Then today we went to TWO playgrounds, Luke\u2019s church, lunch at a caf\u00e9- the meal<\/p>\n

was just alright but the carrot cake for dessert was marvelous!  After lunch we<\/p>\n

went to a Whaling Museum which we all enjoyed- it is amazing how small those<\/p>\n

boats were next to the whales they were going after.<\/p>\n

NAPS<\/p>\n

-then I made clam chowder and Willow made a macaroni and tofu casserole with<\/p>\n

bread crumb topping and corn bread to go with the chowder.<\/p>\n

We are having a great time- the Aidan\/Aiden club is in full working order, these little<\/p>\n

guys really love each other and play like they are best friends- even their spats are<\/p>\n

rather companionable!<\/p>\n

Not much more-<\/strike> – actually I have a lot more to say and show- but it is late and I haven\u2019t<\/p>\n

downloaded the pictures yet.  <\/p>\n

Just wanted to say hi and that Long Island is truly beautiful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
