We are getting ready to hit the road South with the trailer on March 3rd although my Dad is in the hospital in Texas with pneumonia and on life support. He has a living-will so plans are a little tentative right now. Last week we bought a magic jack to plug into the computer for phone service
Trip Log
February 16, 2009
Yesterday, Sunday, we took the train downtown to meet Mike and family for the Chinese New Year celebration in Chinatown. We watched the dragons go from shop to shop in a loud parade and light fireworks to scare away evil spirits to insure good luck throughout the year. We then made our usual st

On Tuesday we went over to Mike's for Annika's seventh birthday. We took an ice cream cake and a requested bag of chocolate. We had dinner, sang and then cake. Somehow in the course of the evening we got to talking about Mike's two dogs and ticks and that led to a discussion about other kinds

Yesterday was Annika's birthday party but, it being a kids' affair, we decided we would go over on her birthday (the 11th) instead. But now we are going to a funeral in Maryland that day so we will have to pick another. Such a busy calendar. Bailey called asking if his sun catcher was dry yet

We spent the night at Jeff's last Tuesday in preparation for watching the kids the following day while Danielle went in for an in-service day. We went the night before because of the threat of snow which did cause the morning meeting to be cancelled but we did enjoy spending the time with the ki

We arrived at Lake Placid on Tuesday afternoon and settled in for a comfortable evening. On Wednesday we drove over to and around the town of Saranac Lake and visited the Olympic venues back in Lake Placid. We climbed up next to the bobsled track and watched luge practice runs. We came back to

Yesterday afternoon we arrived in Montreal and spent the rest of the day watching football and especially enjoyed the Eagles game. The night before we left Sugarloaf, we had had a problem with the diesel in our truck gelling (freezing) and stalling the truck every mile on the way to a dinner but

We left home on Tuesday morning and arrived at Sugarloaf that afternoon and are staying with Steve & Laura at their condo. On Wednesday Steve went skiing early while Alesa & Laura went to the fitness center. It was too icy to ski so Steve and I walked around the village. That evening w
