R & R and WARNING!

Neil and I are settled into a Double Tree Inn down in Westboro, MA prior to Neil conducting a wedding for some "older" neighbors who have a summer home on Charcoal Rd. in Dublin. The wedding isn't til Sunday so we're taking advantage of a few hours to grab some R & R and are paying Price line rates!! Unbelievable what you can get a ritzy room for!! Whuhooo!

Life has been so unbelievably hectic lately that I'm ready for a major change of pace. Since that doesn't promise to arrive any time soon, I plan to snatch what tidbits I can here and there and make the most of them.

On the way here we stopped and did some frig shopping because our nearly 15 yr. old frig now freezes eggs and produce and anything else you happen to put in the wrong spot within its cold confines. We thought we'd found just the thing until we called home and found that our selected prize wouldn't fit in its designated hole in our kitchen!! Oh well, I think we're going to take out the cupboard which is the culprit in our dilemma and find another home for the treasures residing within its dusty interior and go ahead with the purchase anyway.

On another totally different note, travelers to Fairwood beware! You may already know that 11, you read it right, ELEVEN somewhat small boys live within Fairwood's boundaries, but several weeks ago the Dan Reed family temporarily moved into Fairview, swelling the boy ranks to 17! That would be SEVENTEEN! Oh me oh my. Last year it was different. This year they seem to ALL ride bikes. They dash here and there, up the church hill, down across the lawn, in front of you, beside you, around you, etc. etc. etc. The scary thing is that they think they own the road and that you in the car or on foot had better get out of their way. Believe me I watch like a hawk and inch my way along and DO try to get out of their way, but I'm afraid that one of these days one of them will slam into me, whether I be on foot or in the car. At times the mail person has started up the driveway and just turned around and gone back to the post office rather than continue with hazarding his life and theirs by wending his way through trikes, bikes, big wheels etc. etc. etc. So please not only pray for the peace of Jerusalem, but for the safety of 17 Fairwood boys, all pedestrians and all visiting and resident vehicles and their drivers. Lord help us!!
