The weekend was a quiet one with a trip to New Jersey to a friend's grandson's 2nd birthday party. There were lots of very cute children many of whom were bilingual. I hope they know how lucky they are. Old people like grandchildren, it's like having your own kids but you can give them back when they get noisy/smelly/cranky/hungry etc etc. - the best of several worlds. Driving back home we made the mistake of try to drive down Canal St. A kangaroo and an emu holding hands walking backwards could have done it faster. Here's a hint - old people also like slightly silly, slightly intellectual riddle-y type things (answers in a comment to today's riddle-y thing please). Hint - the flag might seem upside down to us.
Sunday was mainly taken over by a trip to the grocery store. Now my grocery store, in Redhook, in addition to having most of the grocery stuff we need, has a wonderful view of the Statue of Liberty. I never get tired of that and in fact when special people come to visit they get taken to the grocery store just to look at the view.
After coming home, my daughter and boyfriend came for dinner and the Patriots won. What could be better? (Apart from the Red Sox winning too - getting slightly anxious now).
I like the antipodean reference (and for those who don't get the joke...neither of those animals can walk backwards!!).......can't wait to be in Williamsburg :)
