Our two-month Spring Fling here in Foxboro, MA is nearly over. On Sunday we pull out and get back on the road for a while. We are going to Danbury, CT for a couple of days to celebrate Memorial Day with our friends there. We will also be celebrating a friend’s 50 Birthday in Wappinger Falls, NY. Then we are heading out to Cape Code for a few days of beach dwelling. We hope the stretch of warm weather will continue so we can get lots of beach time in.
So what have we been doing all this time? Well, we have celebrated Brian and Katherine’s engagement, belatedly, our 32nd Wedding Anniversary, Mother’s Day, Brian’s 28th Birthday,Geoff’s 61st Birthday, Passover, Shavuot, and Easter with Geoff’s Mom. We attended services at our favorite New England Synagogue and Rabbi Gold, and also at the Synagogue of another friend of ours who is getting ordained as a Cantor in June. We helped Logan and Maureen gut their kitchen so they could install tile and new cabinets and appliances. We are going to see the results tomorrow. We went to one of Brian’s Ultimate Frisbee games. We took Logan, Maureen, Katherine, and Brian to a Boston Red Sox game (which they won spectacularly). Logan and Brian took Geoff to the auto races in Stafford Springs, CT for his birthday and then all four of them came out to our campsite for a birthday dinner.
Most of the rest of the time we caught up on doctor and dentist appointments, watched traffic ebb and flow at the campgrounds, where the place would pack up on the weekends, even when the weather was cool or rainy, and then become a ghost town during the week. We have also been attending Weight Watchers meetings, which we started in Florida, and where Geoff got back to his lifetime weight goal and Ellyn has been making great progress. We have done some sightseeing and bike riding in the area.
We are going to miss Normandy Farms a bit but we are looking forward to seeing our Danbury friends and being on the road again. It will be interesting to see if we have made any improvements in our mobility based on getting rid of some of the stuff we no longer need and lightening our load.
