Yesterday, we spent all day inside because the kids were running a fever, so I had to go outside today. We went to the library and the playground. I met Jennifer and her kids Liam and Avery at the playground who are people I met at a party a few weeks ago. Vince got soaking wet at the water spigot that’s near the sand box to help with making sand castles.

I went geocaching at the playground also. There is suppose to be a cache somewhere on the playground, but again, I got 0.3 miles away from it and it’s really hard to wander around looking for a little box with the two kids. I will try later with Jeremy’s help.

I’m also starting to read the Remains of the Day, which I like a lot!

Edda at the Fishkill playground. Isn’t this picture weird with the white balance?

Doris, great, it is back.

I’ve republished the blog, still no loading, help.

Our blog isn’t working. Hmmm..

Donald, congratulations and you are back from our 3-week vacation. It was nice and it was also the longest time (19 days) that we were together since 2001 🙂

Happy mother’s day and all. It’ll be nice to have you guys back on the blog again. We missed you here. This weekend was very nice. We had planned to go to an AMD softball game and picnic, but it was cancelled due to rain in the forcast, but it turned out to be a beautiful afternoon. Vince and I went to the gym on Saturday morning, then in the afternoon, Jeremy made an eggplant, ricotta casserole to celebrate mother’s day and we all drove to Bard to spend the night. I found 2 geocaches on Saturday using my GPS system. It was a lot of fun. I’m having a good time playing this game. I found one near the Adam’s in Newburgh and one in Norrie State Park near Hyde Park.

That evening, we had dinner with Rob Black who lived with the Martins when Jeremy was 2. He’s a chiropractor who also writes fiction and nonfiction on the side. He was up at Bard taking a writing workshop with Katherine.

On Sunday, we hung around Bard and heated up the dinner that Jeremy had prepared. Yum! Now we are home!

This week, Mom and Dad are back from their 3 week trip. Katherine is off to China tomorrow for a month, Bob is going to Budapest for a week and we are off to Austin, TX on Saturday. We travel more in a week than many families do in a lifetime.

Emy and Ben having fun at Ben’s going away party! Woo hoo! Thanks for the pictures Emy, they were fabulous. Can’t wait to see you Wed. for dinner!
