Though my alarm was set for 9:00, I was up at 8:00 after about 10 hours sleep. Felt good. Aunt Annette and I had coffee and cinnamon toast, while we talked about the updating of her will, which she wants to do soon. She expressed concern about not having a co-executor to name, and I … Read more
I was up at 4:45, and at the airport by 5:45. I parked in Lot 3, the “Purple Lot,” and was in line at U.S. Airways by 6:00. I had my laptop, a suit bag, and a small bag that I’d normally take as my carry on bag, but was checking today, since I had … Read more
What are people thinking? From a sentiment posted to an obituary today: I’m so sorry to hear of you’r loss. Huh? Whose loss would that be exactly? What missing letter(s) is the apostrophe representing? I got a good night’s sleep, though I did wake up once or twice absolutely soaked and stuck to my sheets … Read more
I love this place. 45 Breezy Lake Drive, Coventry, RI I say this every time I come up here. Because it’s true. A long, glorious sleep made its way to me, and I welcomed it with open arms and closed eyes, for ten restful hours. Awakening, I looked out my bedroom window to the view … Read more
I actually got up at about 10 minutes until 4:00. I had ridiculous dreams all during the few hours that I slept, a lot of them involving being on Twitter. As I said, ridiculous. When I went downstairs to put the dryer on “fluff” for ten minutes, I saw my message light blinking on my … Read more
We met at Breezy Lake Drive to go together to breakfast, with the intention of eating at a Denny’s. However, it was totally jam-packed when we got there, as was the Cracker Barrel next door to it. Rather than drive around for another place, we decided to have a quick breakfast at a Wendy’s, as … Read more
We were at Aunt Annette’s and Uncle Frank’s a half hour early—at 9:30 instead of 10:00. We had a nice breakfast of coffee, juice, raisin bread toast, and some massa. In the backyard at the lake’s edge, Uncle Frank introduced us to this mama swan and her two babies, which he had enticed to the … Read more
I was up before the alarm this morning and put on a pot of coffee. I prepared English muffins and sausage, set that out for mom and dad and then hit the shower. We left at 9:15, and as it turns out, it was a good thing. <drama> Mom’s knees set off the alarm. Mom’s … Read more
At 9:45, the intercom system came on in my room for my “wake up call.” I’d forgotten about the entirely wired house, including speakers out on the sitting area behind the house facing the lake. Seems like no big deal today, but it was put in in the 70s. My Uncle Cliff, and his daughter, … Read more
Irene and I awoke to an 8:30 phone call from the lobby that the rental car folks were there to speak with Susan about the car they were renting for the day. Irene called next door to send Susan down. We got up, and headed next door to Maria’s room, where the four of us … Read more
