Cape Cod

Cape Cod was awesome. Spent a week in Brewster, MA - on the North side of the Cape where the bay is. Calm cool waters were perfect for little kids. Very relaxing!!!!

A lot more great shots at my blog, Parkside Life: http://buffaloduggan.blogspot.com/

Grandma Mae and Grandpa Ray Sr.

Hello? Hello? Is this thing on? I'm sure Grandma would not have been the one to correct her birth date and would have been just fine with everyone thinking she had Dad at 13. She wouldn't have missed having fun with that. What a great sense of humor she had, and what fun and wondeful grandparents they were.

Family News

Hi Everyone,

Well Mom seems to be thrilled with the iPad. She got it this past Saturday and is already enjoying the features. She especially enjoys YouTube and was finding clips from the old Caroll Burnett show. She and Sheila were laughing hysterically watching it. Her email is all set up and very easy to check. Even though the font on that doesn't get very big - she can use her reader to magnify it very easily. I also set up their iStore account so she can download books. She already downloaded a bestseller and is looking forward to reading with Dad in the livingroom like old times. There still is a little $ left which I have to use on cables and a surge protector (haven't gotten to that yet). I will also look into a "bluetooth" keyboard so that she can type more easliy. Any left over money can be put on their account in gift cards for book downloads. Email me if you have suggestions.

In other news - it was a bad week for dogs. Mom & Dad's dog experiment did not work out. Turns out it was probably not as house broken as advertized. Several accidents on the dining room rug, a torn up livingroom carpet, and a very impressive fence jump-escape kinda sealed the deal. Lauren helped return him - Thanks for all the work Lauren. Mom and Dad said they'll hold off for now but would still like one in the future. (Not yours, Chris. They want a drug-free dog with all its mental faculties)

Carla had a tragedy with her new dog. If you haven't heard (yeah right - Shirl is way faster than the internet) Carla addopted a puppy. She no sooner got her home, that the little thing got through a small hole in the fence and took off. After a terrible day of worry and searching, Carla got the horrible news that they found it's body at the side of Transit road - quite a bit away. So Drop her a sympathy note - she obviously feels terrible about it.

In lighter news - Kurt and Brian have started contributing to this blog. So there Sheila! People not only look at this once in a while - but we have a 30% participation rate now!!!!
