Ahh, sounds nice....are you going to groove in Weekapaug? We're home..hanging out at the pool all weekend.... The wife comes back tomorrow after 8 days away....

Ugg, my son might have strep. Going to the docs later this afternoon. Might throw a wrench in the whole weekend.

The in-laws house is on the pond behind Misquamicut beach.

Found out through Facebook that the kids upstairs had coxsackie virus at the beginning of the week (hand, foot, mouth disease). Would have been nice of her to tell me since the kids play together all the time. :roll: They weren't feeling too great earlier in the week and neither was I so hopefully it's at least run its course enough for us to go to our picnics this weekend.

Right now, I'm making chocolate chip whoopie pies. Checking out the non-traditional recipes, though I'm sticking with my filling because I like it best.

Done with work, now off to Town Hall to straighten out my property taxes.
My former boss (the good one, not the one who was the boss when I left) became the Assessor in your city, Jeff. Looks like he still is. He's a really decent guy. Good luck at the Tax Office! Hope the line isn't too long! It usually is at the beginning of July because everyone thinks they have to pay their taxes on July 1st.

Off to get my car cleaned, and run some errands. Taking Mrs Root out for breakfast. Smoked a huge beef brisket last night. Stopping by the Volvo dealer to check out the xc60 again.

Nostalgia trip today to a lake 2.5 hrs downstate to visit amd old lakeside camp that was in my family for over a century and then was sold when my dad left the area for Florida. Its a beautiful old 3 story Victorian "Painted Lady " with wide verandas and anold carriage barn , sits right next to alighthouse ona sandy beach -- dAMN I WISH IT WAS STILL IN THE FAMILY .

We 'll have lunch , see the camp hit the beaches then a slow drive home on some old 2 laners . got lots to do to get the joint ready to host our annual 10 day summer invasion of kids and grandkids which starts in 2 weeks.

Happy 4th to ALL and Rooter - BUY the Volvo u deserve it !!

My son is feeling better today, so time to pack up and hit the road. We are running by the doctors one more time to take a second strep test, but I think we are good now.

Acting as my wife's sherpa in and around copley plaza/Newberry St in Boston wondering when "next in the agenda" will be a bar for some cold drinks and something on a plate that was swimming in the ocean not that long ago!

Back from the beach, gave Dr Jeff a wave as I drove past Brooklyn on 395.

Normally I'd say you were about 2.5 miles from me and my house there wa-loaf except that i'm n a mini vacation with my wife in Boston now (gotta thank my on-laws for keeping the kids at their place in the Cape the last day and a half!)

Right now i'm watching the red Sox try and blow tonights game from the bar at The Cask and Flaggon next to Fenway :beer:

Considering this picture my dad shared. A friend caught this near the beaches in Milford, CT:

He thinks it's a bull shark and I just learned that they're one of the top 3 sharks to attack people... and that they tolerate fresh water, so they have been found in rivers, even all the way up to Indiana and Illinois! :eek:

BTW, I brought the kids to beaches near where they found this sucker just a couple weeks ago. :eek:

I hate when theory and reality collide.

I'm trying to figure out how to get the kids to stop fighting. They're both sick so my options are limited.

I think I read that shark sightings were way up this year along the Jersey Shore and experts weren't sure why. Sharks aren't gonna keep people out of the water this week.
