Hello on Monday Morning

Dear Friends,



Our East Boston son and his family arrived around 2:30 PM. We bonded with them for a couple of hours before they went off to visit a couple who had a baby girl in January. After an hour or so visit they returned to our house, and made a decision about their evening activities.

Since Linda and I weren’t sure of what they were doing for supper, we whipped up a crock pot of beef stroganoff. Kevin and Kyla decided to go off to a steak house while Linda and I took care of Max.

Linda and I ate the beef stroganoff, and it was spectacular . Linda fed max, we played for a while, and then it was time for his bottle, and bed.



He usually wakes up around this time so I am just waiting for his mild cries, or his talking to himself.



Kyla wants to get up no later than 7 AM since they are off to another funeral service for the plane crash victims, but this time it is in the Albany area.

We don’t have a time frame of when they are returning and packing up to head back to Boston. Kevin has to open the restaurant on Tuesday.



I am the only one socially engaged today. I have a 5:30 PM UNICO Board Meeting. One of our Irish guests is coming into Logan at 4:05 PM today. I am pretty sure that when she does finally get to Pittsfield that she will be exhausted. Her body clock will be 6 hours ahead of East Coast time. She will be longing for sleep when we are ready to go out and party.



The rest of this week, and into the following week, Linda and I are so busy that the average person could keep up with us. As a matter of fact, we aren’t sure if we are going to make it through each day.



Politics – Our President wants a Health Care vote no later than St. Patrick’s Day. One reporter said that many of these Obama deadlines have fallen by the wayside.



Observation -- It was okay weather to wash cars yesterday, but it wasn’t mine that I washed. I washed Kevin and Kyla’s Nissan Murano. When Linda returned from a little recreational shopping at the Lee Outlets, her friend who was driving, asked me to wash her car too. Well, there are several clean cars for sure here in the Berkshires. I washed Linda’s and mine the other day.



Weather – We are in the pattern of cool nights, and 40’s during the day. Even though the sun was out yesterday, there was a nip in the air. We do have a mix of wintry weather heading toward us for Friday into Saturday. We in the Berkshires are ready for spring. The kids in the neighborhood are riding bikes, and playing hoops in their yards. I keep on telling people that we are still in the month of March. Winter is not over yet.

I was happy to see that it starting to warm up in the south a bit. One friend said that she was able to wear shorts only a couple of time during the months of January and February when they were in Florida.



Have to go and try and read the newspaper before Max, and the rest of the family wakes up.

Have a great weekend at work or play.

Talk to you soon. The Curley Lad
