I haven’t been doing much sewing lately so there isn’t anything to write about in the vein. Boo Hoo
Bill and I took a trip down to Mass. on Sunday to visit with Greg and Vanessa. This is probably the last time I will see my son before he has a child of his own. Does it ever seem possible that your child is old enough to have children of their own? I guess at 32 the time has come.
We took along the rocking chair that my mother gave to me when Greg was born. I have cherished it from that day and felt it was only appropriate that Greg and his wife rock their new daughter in the same chair. It has held up very well over the past 32 years, being moved from Colorado to Maine, from Shapleigh to Springvale and now North Attleboro. The only obvious damage is the scratches on the seat which came from the small hiking boots Greg was wearing when he climbed into the chair as a little man.
Vanessa continues to be on bed rest but only for another week or so. After that she will be well enough along that their new little girl can make her entrance at any time. We played a game of Racko and chatted for about three hours. Greg and I walked to the corner and bought some Dunkin Donuts beverages. I think Vanessa looks pretty good considering she has been laying on her side on the couch for the last 5 weeks. We took the opportunity to take a couple of photos before heading back home. It was a long day for Bill, he worked the night before, drove home from Cambridge (1 1/2 hours), drove to Greg’s (2 hours) and drove home again (another 2 hours). We stopped at Polcari’s on Route 1 for dinner which was quite good, as always.
