What happened to March?

Great news from Jersey below, and not much to add to the Dundee Dickson spring break trip to Meadow Lakes and Bethesda!  I see a reality show coming!   Tomorrow is back to work after a nice long weekend and a week for Mary.  Mary had driven up to spend a couple of days with Annie in Natick and to see her high school friend Judy,  She had planned on going over to visit Marj in Rhode Island, but the flooding there is real, and real serious.  So serious that bridges were out and Mary would have had to take a real roundabout way to get there.  Annie drove over to Pittsfield on Saturday, and Sunday after church we went for a quick hike on the Appalachian Trail and then dinner at the Red Lion Inn!  We also saw John and Marilyn; Johnny came over with his chain saw and took down a tree, as part of our day of cleaning out brush.  I feel like a Republican!   Margaret and I had driven up on Friday to Pittsfield, stopping by to see Grandma for a short bit.  We still got there earlier than the Dundee Dicksons who were just down the road!  Margaret's dog Dee joined us and was a terrific, well-behaved distraction the whole weekend!   Grandma seemed to be in good spirits and pretty good health.    We had hosted the Dundee Dicksons earlier in the week, and had a lot of fun.  Joe, Jeffrey and Melodie had come out for a barbecue dinner on Sunday night, just long enough for Jeffrey to invite our midwest visitors to a tour of the Capitol.  And that is how they all spent Monday.  Thanks Jeff.   Tuesday, we all went to the movies, some of us to How to Train a Dragon and others to Green Zone.  Can you guess who went to which movie?   Other news:  Margaret got a new job and starts next Monday.  Joe returned from his trip to Egypt with so much work he could not join us for Easter weekend.  In fact, when we called him on Sunday he was on his way to the office.  There ought to be a law.   And, we got some nice photos from David and Paula, who had stopped by Wilton on their way out of Greenwich.  Thanks so much.   Love from here and have a great April!
